Unemployment Insurance Since the publication of the Interim Report of
the Royal Commission on Unemployment Insurance serious people have been depressed and even alarmed at the inaction of the Government. All that we hope for from Mr. Hoover's proposal (and that is a great deal) will not avail if we will not help ourselves by doing something towards remedying the financial drain due to the so- called " dole." The Royal Commission was bidden to haste to produce an interim Report in order that action by the Government should follow its recommendations. Now the Minister of Labour says, in effect, that the Government must put off action until the final Report appears, because it cannot act upon an interim Report. Though yet another body, a consultative committee, is to be set up to advise the Ministry on those anomalous cases which by general consent need attention and pruning, the far-reaching recommendations are to be entirely neglected.
