PAGE FOUR THE WORKMAN, SATURDAY OCTOBER 11, 1930 HOMELY PHILOSOPHY By GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON 90 sion resorting, during the next year or so, to their power Peace is not a passive force, but a strong aid in the performance of every task. Anger and discord confuse the mind and upset its delicate machinery. The disposition to swift combat and to refute the opinions of others should be curbed. Allow others to have free right of way, allow them to have and express a different view.
Quarrels and bickerings are subtle thieves that steal your peace and curtail your power.

apo The unemployment figures which we so frankly publish are not understood outside of these isles. People land here with the impression that any one who does not want to work can draw the dole, that the dole is a free gift from the State, and that it goes intothe pockets of slackers who could not hold a job even if they were willing to take one. This is a fantastic travesty of the facts. What is called the dole is really a great national insurance scheme against working men, and the State contribute. That is its basic principle. In some cases undoubtedly it has been departed from. Abuses have crept into the administration of the scheme that need correc tion. But in essence it is a sound and beneficent plan for mitigating the evils of unemployment. That the Brit ish working man, as proud and skilled and independent a labourer as exists anywhere on earth, has be Com e a charity mongering dole hunting tont, content with idleness, and quite satisfied to be receiving money he has done nothing to earn this is a libel that is as untrue as it is malicious.
