The Government would appeal to single women and married women without children, and if the voluntary response by women was not sufficient compulsion would he likely Mr Dedman said 20,000 men would come from the retail trade, 10.000 from Government and municipal departments, 10,000 from reorganised essential industries, 5.000 from the gold in- I dustry, and 5,000 from buildingtrades.
