Turning to the Old 1 ge Pansion question the Prime Minister gave an interesting sketch of the schemes in operation in certain other countries. He stated that the first onelusion the Government had arrived at was that all the so-called contributory schemes must be "ruled out,and be quoted the argumente used by Mr. Chamberlain in the House of Commons on March 22, 1839, against such schemes. It was, he added, equally clear that what was known as the universal scheme was outside the range practical pontics Moreover, the obligation to provide pensions must rest on the Treasury and not on any local authority. Any praatiosble scheme also must be subject to some sort of discrimination. He expressed the opinion that the loss questions of character, short of act sal conviction for orima, were gone into in conues tion with an Old Age Fensions scheme the batter. "All the suggested lasts which look so well on paper-thrift, prudence, and so on extremely difficult to apply, and apt to prodanos
