Mr| Thomas, who is officially Lord Privy Seal in the new Labor ad- ministration but is devoting his ener- gies to reducing unemployment, will also make personal enquiries con- cerning the possibility of some com- mon agreement between the Mother Country and other parts of the Em- pire under which the development of works of inter-Imperial necessity would be undertaken by the Dom- inions with financial aid from, Bri- tain, with the object also of provid- ing an oulet for the surplus of Bri- tish labor. 1 It is 'understood that at a recent mecting of 'the cabinet produced proposals for an enquiry in- to the possibility of large works of general utility and -developmerit which might desirably be undertaken in any, part of the empire, including the dominions as well as crown colonies. - According to the scheme the dominions will be asked to what extent they are prepared to guaran- tec employment of British labor and manufacturers in such: works if the British Government = offers: certain financial inducements and enquiries on the matter were to reach the dominions immediately, it was be- lieved.
