AUSTRALIAN PLAN
Diversion To War Work
SYDNEY, August 24.
The Federal authorities plan to divert another 200,000 men and women from non-essential work to war activities between next January and the end of June, says the “Daily Telegraph.” This will mean a total transfer of about 500,000 workers to war activities in this financial year. About half of the 200,000 workers will probably be women. Of 318.000 workers who are being diverted between now and the end of December, only 40,000 will be women.
It is reported that the Government considers that by the end o.f next June it will have gone as far as it can in diverting men and women to war work. Australia will then have slightly more than a million men and women working full time in the services and the war industries.
