There could be no scheme, ho declared, without the approval of the cabinet and parliament. "N'at'.onal honor," faid the premier, "demands that those willin; but unable to work must be saver: from starvation. The measure of relief like wise -depends upon the national resources." Mr. Lloyd George spoke hopefullv of the Washington conference, declaring that it "will constitute one of tho outstanding events which will affect human history for centuries."

BY SLUMP Experts at Unemployment Parley Point Out Results of Depression. WASHINGTON., Oct. 4. Losers in earnings of workers throughout the country during the past fiscal year, due to involuntary idleness, were put at more than $6.500,000.000 in an estimate prepared Tuesday by economic experts of the national conferme of unemployment. This estimate. It wa3 explained, covered the loss In wages because of unemployment of all the Jobless in the country from July, 1920, to Aug. 15, 1S21. and wa based on an approximation of normal pay leve'.t rather than on the scales at the peak of high wages. Efforts of the conference, it wa? said, would be turned toward a remedy for the economic loss to the country from such reductions of the earning power of its workers in the future by a more stabilized industrial rlan. Preparation of the conference recommendations for a permanent policy to combat unemployment and revive business and commerce would probably require at leaen two week werk, officials declared.
