NATIONAL WASTE
ORGANISING OUR RESOURCES] “I am no killjoy. I want to see the people getting a fair measure of recreation. But when I hear of 900 cars at a race meeting and 60,000 at a football match I wonder whether we are crazy,” said Mr E. Shinwell, M.P., in addressing Durham miners. “Merchant seamen are being shot to pieces bringing petrol and other supplies here. Think of the petrol consumed, the transport used, and the services required for all this so-called recreation and ask yourselves whether we are really organising our resources for war. This sort of thing must Stop.”
