Notes of the Week. i -i
Notes of the Week. Exit the Dole." November 21st, 1919,1 must have been proved a "black Friday" indeed, full of poignant memories, for those amiable ladies and gentlemen of voluntary leisure who, discovering that "It ain't much enjoyment To ask for employment And only get work instead," } have been well-content to draw their weekly unemployment donation and thank heaven for a generous and not too particular Government. For on that day they called for their share of the State endowment of idleness only to learn that it was payable no more, except to those ex-service- men and ex-service women who are unable to obtain a job. Our readers, we imagine, will not be inclined to shed many tears of sympathy on behalf of these disappointed folk, but what of the case of those who are genuinely unemployed, for whom the donations are equally unavail- j able any longer ? They are, no doubt, com- paratively few, for normal unemployment is nearly half. now what it was in 1913, and the scare stories of starving millions we have heard in some quarters are obviously merely politicians' rhetoric. Nevertheless, there are some genuine cases of real hard- j ship, which is none the less acute because it is shared by comparatively few. The proper method of dealing with them would, of course, have been for the Government to 'have prepared its scheme of normal un- employment insurance to come into force immediately the doles ceased. They were warned of this necessity as far back as March of last year, but the scheme is still unprepared. The Bill to establish it has not been introduced in Parliament, and it seems uncertain when it will be. Mean- i time, therefore, the genuine out-of-work has nothing to help him to bridge the span between the donation and a regular system of unemployment insurance benefit but pri- vate charity and the Poor Law! It is not a happy prospect for the winter, and we fancy he will derive small consolation from the reflection that his own uncertainty as to where to-morrow's meal isto come from is virtually the outcome of Downing-street's own habit of living (politically) from hand to mouth. 2 The Real Case against Premium Bonds.  The Government's habit of throwing directrepon- sibility for legislative de- cision on the House of Common& seems to be jgrowingi It was adopted, last week, with the .ending of-the doles, referred to above, and it is to be the o..se with Premium Bonds next Monday. In principle it is a welcome enough reaction from the mischievous tendency, so largely developed in recent yeara. of reducing l'ar- liament to a mere automaton for carrying out the will of the Executive, though we are not quite sure whether, on such a ques- tion as Premium Bonds, the unrestricted verdict of the House will prove any more convincing than that of the Cabinet, or even as satisfactory. The moral issue .will cer- l tainly play a larger part than it would if the question were left to the financial ex- perts, and the worst of moralists, as the New Statesman" ventured to say, on Saturday, is that they almost always.rush in and denounce the wrong thing, or that they almost always denounce things on "the wriiig grounds." Next week's de- bate will probably centre round such points as whether speculative investments are immoral," or whether there is really any, harm in having "-a little flutter now md then, since even eminent jurists are well known to be habitual bettors. On the one hand we shall be assured that gambling is the deadliest of all sins, and on the other that experience shows that those who regu- larly have "something on the game, whether it be bridge or golf, are, after all little the worse morally if not much richer (or poorer) financially at the end of the year. All of which, of course, is very interesting, though it does not necessarily demonstrate that Premium Bonds would more seriously degenerate our national ethics than many tilings we officially; and personally condone. What we hope the Government will at least take some trouble to keep before the House is the question whether they would prove good or bad finance There are some emin- ent economists who declare that they would be very bad finance indeed. The. specula- tive attractiveness of the Bonds would, they contend, merely divert subscriptions from other forms of Government stock and bring little "new money" into the Ex- chequer. If that be so, since revenue rais- ing is their only object, they had better be left alone. Without necessarily, or perhaps even probably, lowering our national morality, they would fail to im- prove our national credit.
