MAN-POWER PROBLEM
Sir—ln The Southland Times of October 20 a paragraph appeared concerning our man-power problem, which it would seem is seriously exercising the minds of both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Surely the warning contained therein is sufficient to exercise the minds of all responsible people. One wonders why it is that some avenues for applying for release of man-power from the Army, necessitous as many instances may be, are exploited by those who profess in other respects patriotism ana loyalty to the cause of protecting this fair country. Releases for some jobs of minor importance are a mystery, and some of them could well do with ventilation and further investigation, as they appear more a convenience than 3 If these cases are permitted to continue one can well sympathise with the military leaders in their difficulty of assembling and training an army; with the Prime Minister in his task of trying to arrange enough industrial manpower to keep essential cogs turning; and even with those who wonder why they are called on to do their bit when it includes the protection of apparent slackers. DALE EDEN.
