BRITAIN MUST PRODUCE
LONDON, Feh. 26. Every adult man and woman would have to send ahout £46 each out of the country in 1947 to maintain existing standards, declared Sir Hartley Shaweross when speakihg at Lewisham. Britain was living 'on credits which could not last long and unless Britain found means to produce wealth with which to pay for £1,600,000,000 worth of necessary purchases abroad, the country would fac-e complete collapse with unemployment and lower living standards never before experienced. The people must be ready to cooperate in a ruthless curtailment of less essential things aijd manning more essential indHstries at the expense of the less essential, to secure an allround increase in output per man.
