MUNITIONS AND EQUIPMENT.

AN APPEAL TO WORKERS TO SPEED UP. SUPPLIES STILL AT HIGHEST | LEVEL. BUT EXTRA EFFORT NECESSARY TO COMPLETE WORK IN HAND. NO CESSATION FOR EASTER HOLI. DAYS. (Australian-N.Z. C.A. and Reuter.) , (Received March 28, 8.45 a.m.) LONDON, March 27. -I he Press Bureau states that Mr Churchill will appeal to munition workers to make their best efforts to replace promptly the serious losses in guns, machinery, and ammunition with a view to maintaining the armament and equipment of the fighting troops at the hignest level. Our resources, fortunately, have been sufficient to accomplish this up to the present in-every class of munitions, but it will be necessary to speed up completion of important parts of work in hand. There is a certain class of guns ana shells specially useful now, which can be released in largely increased numbers m the next few weeks.

Mr Churchill has greatly acknowledged the spontaneous assurances received from many districts that there will be no cessation of output during the Easter holidays.'
