He has always said that he wants to see men in employment with a high standing of living, as we all do, but when he had the chance of doing something to bring that about he did nothing. He reminds me of the man in a high position who was lp{mnchnd by a friend in trouble who told him his plight, and said: ‘I have been robbed by the foreigners. I have lost m; work. My family is starv- ing and I have nothing to give them I want work.

When political minds are bent vay the attack on the dole prob-| lem peters out, since the support of an attack o the employment problem itself is deliberately withheld. Eleanor Rathbone, probably the lead- lng authority in England on the whole . subject, has said that no scheme of unemployment insurance can distin- m those genuinely seeking work persons who are not anxious to try to get work. All the same, no re- g»mlblz person suggests that the prin- ple of unemployment insurance should be abandoned It is regarded as a permanent feature of Britain's code of social. legislation.
