London,
Sept.
28th.—Various
propos
als for relieving the
unemployment
situ-
ation in Great
Britain
were discussed
bv
a
committee
of the
Cabinet
yesterday,
three
sessions
being held for the
consid-
eration
of this quesiion
which
is gaining
in urgency
every
day.
A plan
to
revive
home
and
export
trade
by
the
ex-
tension
“of
credits
was
one
oi the
mat-
ters
taksn
up
by
the
committee
during
the
day.
Unofficial revorts
assert
th .t
antagonism
has
developed
between
cer-
tain departments
of
the
Govt.
and
the
representatives
of the
treasury
who
are
striving
to
cut
down
expenses
Mr.
. Lloyd George,
who
has
been
devoting
his time to
the
problem,
farours
relief
undertakings
of considerable
magnitude,
but
he recently
told labourite
mayors
who
interviewed
him,
that
he
could
not
agree
to
a
plan
which
would place
the
whole burden
on
the state
And he add-
ed, that
he did
not know
where
to
look
for taxes.
Mr. Lloyd George
contended
the
Govt.
already had
gone
to
unprece-
dented
lengths
in
subsidizing
the
un-
employed,
for
the
relief of
whom
the
Govt.
had
sirce
the
war
provided
more
thap
one
hundred
million
pounds.
He
said
that
while
1,500,000
workmen
arve
idling in Great
Britain,
there
were
six
million unemployed
in
the Uuited States.
The labour poirt of
view,
as
expressed
by the
mayois,
was
that
the unemploy-
ed situation
had
reached.a
point
‘‘when
passion
and
despair
may
get
the
upper
hand’’, although
official figures
showed
.
the actual amount
of idleness
less
than
some
time
time
ago.
The
acuteness
of
the
position of the
country,
it
was said,
was due
to
the
fact
that
many
unem-

Mr. Lloyd
George
plans
to
con-
sult
a
number
of leaders
in
commerce
and
industry
at
Gairloch
on
Friday
and
upon
that
oceassion
he
will pro-
nably
hear
the
views
of
union
leaders
who have asted
for an interview.
He
is
expected
to return
to London
next
Tues-
day
and it is probable
the
cabinet
will be
cal'ed
to meet
immediately
to discuss
the
report
of
the
cabinet
committee
which,
it
is
expecied,
will be ready
for submis-
sion.
Among
the
anxious
comments
on
the
situation
which
daily
feature
and
newspapers
there
are frequent
references
to
the
influence
upon
thHe
situation
of
International
exchange
and
the
Inter-
national
war
debt.
It
was
reported
today that export epinion in the
Cabinet
was
steering
toward
the
recently
ex-
pressed
views of Mr.
Ninston
Churchill
that
the
whole
problem
was
not
local,
but
was
a world issue
for
International
settlement.
He
declared
inter-Allied
war
obligations
should
be
reconsidered
and
reduced
2nd
that
they
should
be
placed
in a
separate
category.
Sir Alfred
Mond,
Minister of
Health,
declared
last
night that this
was
a
matter
upon
whicn
the
people
of the
United
States
should
pass
an opinion.
