AID OF INDUSTRY
ALLIED WAR EFFORT KEY POSITIONS RETAINING EXPERTS METHOD IN BRITAIN (Klee. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, Oct. 31. During his broadcast address to-day concerning the contribution of industry to the war effort, the Minister of National Service, Mr. Ernest Brown, gave a survey of the way the various industries had met and were meeting the particular difficulties occasioned by the war. “A list of key occupations has been compiled in order that the men in such occupations shall not be taken from industry unless required in the forces for work in which they are skilled," lie said. “This will, assure, as far as possible, that industry is kept fully manned to produce munitions and maintain peace in the nation and also that, when the war is over, industry generally will have a basis for reconstruction and expansion."
Mr. Brown concluded with a special word of praise for the British merchant seamen and fishermen in their most vital and hazardous work.
