NO DEMOB. MUDDLE
1 BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT]
Plans for demobilising the Army at the end of the war are already being considered by the War Office.
Key men urgently needed in the reconstruction of Britain wil be released first.
Men wondering what is to happen to them when the war ends will have some of their an- xieties relieved by the scheme, which is based on a census of peace time jobs.
The census," which has begun throughout Britain and Northern Ireland, asks about the soldier's normal civil occupation type of work, home address and the de- partment in which he was engag- ed.
name, address His employer's and business are also required.
Sir Frank Sanderson, M.P., who Arst suggested in Parliament that no man shou'd be discharged from the Army unless he had work to go to told me:
"Obviously if every soldier were demobbed at a certain hour at the end of the war every industry would be flooded with applications for employ- ment. This must be avoided. "There was chaos over
this
matter at the end of the last war. It must not happen again."
