Australia At End Of Manpower Resources
(Special) CANBERRA, This Day Australia has now reached the end of her manpower resources and the future requirements of the services and essential industry must be met by rearrangement of existing programmes. With this object the War Cabinet, after five hours’ discussion at which General Blarney was present, decided upon the withdrawal of 20,000 men from the services in the next 10 months for transfer to essential industry. In addition the munitions programme is to be reduced to release another 20,000 for food production and other urgent projects. Thirty thousand women are to be diverted to industries of the highest priority.
