APPEAL FOR BEST. EFFORT RECORD PRODUCTION IN SIGHT (Per United Press Association! AUCKLAND, Dec. 26. An appeal to the workers of the Dominion lose one unnecessary day during the holiday season if such loss would mean a disorganisation of industry was made in an interview today by the Minister of Labour. Mr P C'Webb. "We are engaged in an ' all-in policy," the Minister said. "The very existence of enlightened democratic civilisation is at stake. The soldiers, of industry must be prepared lo give of their best, and it is pleasing to know that the workers, in spite of criticism, have made a magnificent response. With 50.000 fewer active workers, our national production will probably constitute a record this year." Mr Webb added that the Government would protect all the workers against exploitation.
