WOMEN WORK UNDISMAYED. In a broadcast, to the Dominions asking for the increased output of munitions. the British Minister of Labour, Mr Ernest Bevin, said: —"May I illustrate this by an incident 1 saw in a Yorkshire'town? A factory, employing a lot of women, had been badly ■blitzed.' The roof has been destroyed; there was no heating. Luckily, most of the machines and raw materials were undamaged. They were engaged in producing an article that the Air Force urgently needed. These girls and women went straight, back as soon as their machines could be cleared. They sat in the open, and finished that order, so that delivery might take place and the work of the Air Force not be impeded. So. you see, we are not asking anybody in the world to do something that wc are not ready to do ourselves.’
