"TOTAL WAR”
'MOBILISING OUR MAN-POWER. The British Government has not yet risen to the conception of "total war." That and nothing else is t'ne root of the matter, assorts Mr J. L. Garvin. Before the outbreak of war \vc advocated a national register so that every man and woman among us should have a place and a task as soon as possible after the outbreak. Nothing else on earth could cliable democracy to cope with the total organis.ition of the enemy. The imperative of universal enrolment was not faced. It is not faced yet. In the seventh month we are lagging still. Take typical instances. The degree to which real unemployment is still allowed to exist is a scandal in ihc circumstances. The expansion of air-
output has not attained the swing it should have reached. Only now are we beginning the proper assignment of labour to the organisation of export and the agricultural drive. As yet the Minister of Supply has not set up half his projected number of regional committees, representing both employers and trade unions, to speed up every kind of war-output.
