ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
EVERY MAN TO DO A JOB OF WORK
I joiiusn uuifiai vvnetess. j Received Feb. 14. 5.5 p.m. RUGBY, Feb. 13. "The Government is planning the utmost economy and efficiency in the use of manpower,” stated the newlyappffinted Leader of the House of Lords, Lord Moyne, in the debate in the House. The purpose behind the Government’s plans, he added, was to ensure that every man of military age would be either in the forces doing work of national value which could not be done by older men and women. The 19-year-olds would be called up almos 1 immediately. Those not reserved, or
whose call-up was not postponed, would presently join the colours. From about mid-April onwards the present plan was for men to register in the group from 37 to 40 and leave the 18-year-old group to the last. Regarding the wider mobilisation, and distribution of t he existing labour force, Lord Moyne pointed out that changes could not be made all at once. It was necessary that industry should have the time to give voluntary cooperation in the matter of readjustment.
