Bennett Under Fire Over Unemployment Policy
The Ottawa debate centers on non-contributory unemployment insurance with Premier Bennett resisting any premium on idleness. The Workers Unity League of Canada pressed for non-contributory benefits while Liberal leader King argued for contributory unemployment insurance and may push non-contributory talk at the next caucus. The Financial Times notes Tory worries that Bennett’s strong executive approach may hurt popular support compared to Mr. King’s political acumen.

It urges Ottawa and Victoria to protect the coal industry, support the 7000-strong Cumberland petition, and address duties on American fuel oil to save livelihoods.
