Definite improvement in regard to unemployment was anticipated this summer when it was i'elt that the effects oi the $20,000,000 unempioy merit relief measure passed at the special session of Parliament would be seen and appreciated. Senator Robertson pointed out that ever since .the war a large number of Canadian citizens had been attract- ed below the line to take fine posit- ions which were made possible through the prosperity which the United States was enjoying. When depression and its resulting hard- ships had begun to be felt in that country, it was only natural that work should be given first to native citizens, and as a. result many Can- adian were left without jobs. Many of these have made their way back to the Dominion, partly because it was‘ their home, and partly, too Sen- ator Robertson felt, because they had heard that the Federal Government of Canada was planning measures which would take care of all who ere in need of assistance. Senator Robertson was of the op- inion that these measures were bringing results which would be ap- parent iii thg spring or early sum- mer. Ho said that all the provinces and 1,648 municipaliites in all parts of the ‘Dominion were cooperating with his department in the admin- istration of unemployment relief, and that reports showed that progress was being made all along the line. The Minister of Labor felt that con- ditions would adjust themselves quickly and that there would be plenty of work for all Canadians. MEREDITH, N. 1-1., Fob. 10-80!) Kennedy of a loading OLeary P.
