Mr. C. A. McCurdy (formerly Minister for Food and Chief Coalition Liberal Whip) in the first of a series of articles in the Daily Chronicle on the question: of unemployment, contrasts the position of Britain with some 1,300,000 men and "women" out of work terðluding furn labourers, domestic servants, youths and girls) with the prosperity of France and the United States.
