U.S. MAN-POWER PROBLEM
NEW YORK, October 21. Declaring that the man-power problem was becoming too complex for effective voluntary action, the manpower commissioner, Mr. Paul V. McNutt, said that within a fortnight he would submit a national service Bill to President Roosevelt. He added that the Bills now before Congress failed to meet the basic requirements of the war programme.
Mr. McNutt told a committee of- the Senate that there were acute shortages of all types of male labour in 40 war production centres. "Public opinion and sound policy," he said, "both dictate that we must not stop short of compulsion when those who won't co-operate are blocking war production."
