TO BE SPEEDED UP
DEMOBILISATION IN BRITAIN LONDON, August 17, ' The Minister of Labour, making a statement after Mr Attlee's pledge in the House of Commons that demobilisation would be speeded up, announced that steps had already been taken to increase the rate of release. _ From the first provisional estimate, it appears that the numbers of men and women released by. December 31 would not be far short of 1,000,000, of whom 100,000 will be women. The announcement means that an additional 250.000 members of the services will be released before January. The average of the releases will be stepped up from 55,000 to 170,000 a month.
