MUNITIONS
NEW BILL INTRODUCED. STATEMENT PY MB LLOYD GEORGE. Received June 24, 10.35 a.m. LONDON, June 23. Mr Lloyd George, answering questions in the House of Commons, referred to his agreemnt with trade unions to transfer workers where required. He said the only acute shortage was in skilled workmen in the engineering and shipbuilding trades. He added that Canada was the only Dominion from which workmen had been invited to join the State workshops, but should the necessity arise he would not hesitate to take a similar step with other Dominions. Mr Lloyd George, in introducing the Munitions Bill in the House of Commons, said the condition of our ammunition was perfectly known to the enemy. The cardinal fact was that our ultimate victo'-y depends on the supply of munitions. We have . n rndoubted superiority in men—both in number and quality. If in earnest we could surpass the Austrian-German output. The surplus engineering resources available for the war were greater than those of Fiance.
