NO INFORMATION
MANPOWER POSITION FARMERS CONCERNED PRODUCTION COUNCIL OPINION The fact that there was no information yet. about the manpower policy for New Zealand in the Pacific war was causing concern, it was stated at the meeting of the Thames District Council of Primary Production. The District Manpower Officer, Mr R. W. Chappell, said he had no inforcil. Men who had been called up were still on farms, and they did not know what to do. said the chairman, Mr S. E. Hall. Others were still in the same box, said Mr Chappell.
“That may be so, but their position is not so serious as that of farmers,” said Mr Hall. “They do not have to look ahead so much, and want to know what they , should do about their herds.”' They had been waiting since Easter and he had been receiving many inquiries, he continued. He had been telling them to hang on as long as they could. Nothing could be done till the decision of the Government was known, said Mr Chappell. “I am not just in agreement with the excuse of waiting till the Prime Minister is back,” said Mr Hall. “If they are, the Prime Minister has a lot to answer for.” ,
