SCHEMES GALORE BUT

LITTLE, BUILDING... – The Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, M.P., writes in a Home paper:-

When one considers the various schemas of reconstruction which have been put before the country and seeks to discover the progress which has been made with them, one is brought to the inavitable. conclusion that nevar in the whole bistory of the country has there existed a Government more proliña in words and less capablə of translating them into deeds,

One of the most vital and urgent before the country to-day is the boosing problem, and if we judged the progress made to- wards its solution by the amount of official breath and printer's int expended upon it, we might be led to believe that something of a very definite character had been achieved.
