MERCHANT SEAMEN
BETTER POST-WAR CONDITIONS
British Official Wireless Rec. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, July 26
"The support given by the Government to merchant seamen would continue after the war and make the calling of the sea rank among all technical and skilled trades, with proper apprenticeship and proper accommodation in ships," said the Minister of National Service, Mr. Bevin, when opening a Merchant Navy hostel at Cardiff. "The war has made the whole world shipconscious and everyone now realises how the world's happiness, wealth and prosperity depends on sea communications." He would never rest until the day arrived when workers had good wages, conditions, environment and standard of living. These were the most economical things employers could bring into industry and the world was awakening to that fact.^
