David Lloyd George, taking part In a.
debate in the new House of Commons
to-day for the first time. appealed for
more permanent measures on unemploy-
ment and general economic readjustment.
He declared the question was whether
the war had simply dislocated the ma
chinery of commerce or had seriously
diminished and impaired the purchasing
power OF the world. He thought the
devastation OF markets and finance
might not be merely a passing phase
and urged Great Britain TO grapple
boldly with rural depopulation.' He
said the crisis must be met along broad
lines il the prosperity OF the nation
were to be restored.

had occupied many years ago. When
he was heckled from the Labor bench he
showed his old parliamentary skill. He
supported the proposed amendment to
the Governments agricultural policy
providing for an inquiry along the
broadest lines TO secure stability.
II wiz admit that the proposals made
by tho late Government were inadequate
to deal with the problem and they
haven't arrested the decay OF agricul-
ture," Mr.. Lloyd George declared.
What is the effect OF the huge ma
tional debts which accumulated during
the war?" he asked WAS IL merely
paper arrangement OF our wealth or was
1t q real burden on the community?
Here is a grave problem. When the
prosperity of the world is restored, '9nen
its exchanges are righted. when busi-
ness begins again. are we going to be
handicapped and our markets worried
by the fact that we alone have got
debt which is unimpalrcd If not IN
creased?"
The answer to these questions, he
said, depended on whether unempioy-
ment was going to be a problem with
which Britain would be confronted for
years to come. Coupling the agricul-
tural decline with unemployment. he
said: THE outlook is serious. 1t de-
mands remedies of drastic and far
reaching character"
Turning to another phase OF the stu
alton, Mr.. Lloyd George said: IL am
not sure that there isn't a military prob
lem here. / sincerely hope that there
will be no more war Mankind has had
il for so long, but we had lesson be-
fore. and, II we are going to base the
life and security OF our country on the

all times the passions of mankind won't
rest. we won't have security any more.
Even now there is one Power which
insists on building submarines, in spite
OF protests from every other Power
But 1 am not urging the case on that
ground so much as on the provision for
healthy productive employment for the
surplus population of the country and
