BRITISH INDUSTRY
REMOVAL OF WOMEN. SIR HERBERT AUSTIN’S SUPPORT. SOLUTION TO UNEMPLOYMENT. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received September 25, 10.25 a.m. ' LONDON, Sept. 24. Addressing an Oxford conference of ■works directors, managers and foremen Sir Herbert Austin, the motor car manufacturer, urged the adoption by Britain of Hen - Hitler’s idea of removing women from industry. The women of Britain had built round themselves a position which they had not occupied before the war. Industry was not women’s place and he was confident that if all were removed therefrom, except perhaps in the cotton industry’, it would solve the unemployment problem. Bi-itish industry was now unable to support higher wages or a shorter week. Unless the world was better organised a definite move in the opposite direction might be expected, as increasing hours and reducing wages was the more economical basis.
