WHAT WILL BE LEFT US

Sir, —Your correspondent, Mr Carr, writes that I object to.manpower control. He'“approves of it and he approves of it because he knows that ultimate socialism necessitates manpower control or industrial conscription. Mr Carr is honest but the point is that Mr Hallett has denied that full socialism means industrial conscription. Now the point is whether the people have been told by the Socialist 'leaders that manpower control of labour will become necessarj'- under their planned economy.. Why have they concealed this fact? Mr Carr to support the case: for industrial conscription alleges that, in order. to carry out a policy of full employment, another political party ' will also adopt the same evil thing,'Mr Carr is trying to confuse the issue. The question is whether ultimate socialism necessitates manpower control of labour and he agrees that it does. A non-socialist party which stands for the free competitive systepi and which holds that, the needs

of the community can only be provided by individual free to chose his owh calling and use his initiative and enterprise to serve the community, not only would not but could not tolerate'Anything in the nature of manpower control for. it could not possibly fit into the system for which such party stands. / Yours etc.,ONLOOKER.
