Champion, C.P. Staff Correspondent) London, May 11.--The Biitish election campaign got into full swing today when the government replied in a white paper to the pam- phlet of Right Hon. David Lloyd George, Liberal leader, that the Liberals can. "conquer unempivy- ment." The Liberal scheme was characterized as 'impracticable' and based on a misunderstanding of the unemployment problem. Referring to the two-year pro- gram of road and other work that the Liberal plan contemplates, Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland, minister of labor, in a foreword, declared that even if a program of such magni- tude could be put into operation, "the proper conditions of work could not be maintained during its performance and the program would simply create a problem of demobilization at the end of tne period." The labor force of unemployed capable and available for the work proposed in the Liberal pamphlet, is "quite inadequate," Sir Arthur said. The white paper consists of a general memorandum by the Min- ister of Labor, and memorandum by Right Hon. W. W. Ashley, Min- ister of Transport, Right Hon. Nev- lle Chamberlain, Minister of Health, Sir William MitchellThom- son, Post Master general, and Rt, Hon. Winston Churchill, ©Mancel- lor of the Exchequer. MRS.
