TIME TO HEAVE
DRASTIC CALL ON BRITISH LABOUR FORESHADOWED BY MR BEVAN. VICTORY MAY BE BROUGHT MUCH NEARER. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, November 16. Drastic new measures to bring Britain's labour resources to the highest pitch of capacity have been hinted at by Mr Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labour. Mr Bevin said a first step would be to get rid of the age limit. “I think,” he added, “that we have reached the turning of the tide. We have done the holding on and the captain is now saying: ‘Heave, 1 I want everybody to heave.’ I believe we can bring victory many a day nearer if we make the most of the opportunity of this winter and the coming spring.” Mr Bevin said he must get thousands of women into the titanic job of filling shells and making munitions. It would be better to suffer temporarily now than to be in perpetual slavery under the Nazi heel.
