INDUSTRIAL MAN-POWER
TO THE EDITOR Sir,—Wc are in hearty agreement with your leading article in to-day’s Daily Times, and with the letters signed by “ Carpenter,” “ Sleeves Up ” and Mr Arthur Sainsbury. The lastmentioned letter js certainly most illuminating. The 40-hour week spells 128 hours per week in which strong, able-bodied men may eat, drink, sleep and be merry while the enemy is at our gates and our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen are fighting for us in the front line overseas or suffering untold privations in prison camps, or are among the many who are missing. Is this what our Government calls an “ all-in ” war effort? Can nothing be done about it?—l am. etc., Maran-atha.
