WAR ECONOMY
APPEAL TO EMPLOYERS The Lord Privy Seal. Sir Samuel Hoare, in a broadcast, said that the war Budget would make Britain economise, but economy did not mean a refusal to buy. The war had brought a certain amount of dislocation in industry and some temporary unemployment, 'out there was scarcely an able-bodied man or woman whose services would not be needed in the very near future.
There had been some increase in prices because of the increased cost of freight and other transport, but the Government, was taking drastic power to prevent profiteering.
“We must have no misers, no hoarders, no profiteers,” he said. He 'said that they could not pass from production in peaceful industry to war without some dislocation, but the Government was doing its best to mitigate that dislocation. He appealed to employers not to dismiss workers.
“Too many workers have already been 'dismissed. Get them back,” he said. —By Radio.
