MANPOWER PROBLEM
WORKER ARMIES COMPARED. The manpower problem had become acute, said Mi’ Ernest Bevin, British Minister of Labour, in a speech to transport workers. The enemy had at his disposal, by force or otherwise, a working population of 110 million adults, while Britain had an adult population which could be turned into industry of just over seventeen millions. In an urgent appeal Io dockers, he declared, “Every day you save in the turn round of a ship you are helping to feed your own wives and kiddies, you are reducing the weight on the Navy, and helping the mercantile marine.”
