GOVERNMENT AND RISE IN UNEMPLOYMENT

London, To-day.

Mr. Lawson (Labour) raised the question of unemployment in the Commons adjournment debate, and stressed the sapping of moral fibre and destruction of self-respect by long periods of involuntary idleness suffered in areas where unemploy- ment was most severe.

Replying for the Government, Mr. Ernest Brown' denied any· ́lack of sensitiveness on the part of Ministers to the tragedy of un- employment, or any wish to deny the deterioration in employment figures, which he thought was an inevitable consequence of the fall in the price level of primary com- modities.

At the same time it was right to re- cognise that there had been a great increase in the well-being of the people as a whole over the past four years as result of the fall in the cost of living, and that the relief of the misfortunes of un- employment through the insurance scheme, public assistance and gen- eral social services was on a scale not matched in any other country in the world.-British Wireless.
