Germany Feverishly Active
REARMAMENT PROGRAMME’S DEMANDS ON LABOUR United Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Saturday, 1.30 a.m. BERLIN, Aug. 5. In contrast with Germany's claim for room for expansion, as her territory is insufficient to support her population, is the influx of 120,000 farm-hands from | abroad. I The Manchester Guardian's Berlin [correspondent points out that the pace of rearmament has been so frantically speeded up that industry generally is suffering from an acute shortage of labour. Several hundred thousand have been withdrawn from civil employment by conscription on labour service measures. Industry is obliged more than ever to fall back on women's labour.
Farmers have been ordered to get in their harvest by August 15 at the latest, presumably because Germany wants to exercise the utmost influence in tho negotiations at Prague by the greatest possible display of her military power.
