MANPOWER PROBLEMS
Sir We read that all reservists in grade II and grade 111 are to _te reexamined by medical boards. What a colossal task will have to be faced by our few remaining doctors! What is the use of this re-examination, when so many of these reservists will, be protected by appeals? The majority of men in the lower grades will never be really fit for active service overseas, and hence their suitability for military training is decidedly limited. Moreover, a great many of these reservists are doing work deemed more or less essential. Obviously the proper course is to release for military duty all the youngest and fittest men in essential industry and then draft into their places those reservists in grade II and grade 111 who are doing unessential work. This would promote military efficiency and save the time of overworked doctors—Yours, etc., COMMON SENSE. November 18, 1942.
