A review of trade, unemployment, etc., in the form of a discussion between John Hilton and Cecil Lewis.
Nearly five years ago John Hilton, Professor of Industrial Relations at Cambridge University, helped to form a club for the unemployed, Fellowship House. The members are the keenest critics of his weekly broadcast talks. Few men can better understand the outlook of the unemployed; and few men have done more than he to cheer them up. As a listener once wrote in a letter to him, he has "happy knack of making life seem extra good".
In this interview with Cecil Lewis, Professor Hilton will show, with charts and figures, the probable trend of unemployment during the coming year. He will answer such questions as "What will the reduction amount to?"; "In what industries and places is improvement experienced?"; "Will the Depressed Areas remain so as the boom develops?"; and "How much has the armaments boom contributed to improvement?".
