CONSCRIPTION FOR WOMEN PREDICTED
(By Reuter's Political Correspondent) FURTHER SUPPORT to the pleas Members of Parliament that Government should adopt a more vigorous production policy, to which I referred on Monday, was given by editorials which appeared yesterday in "The Times” and “Manchester Guardian.”
There is no question that public opinion is deeply stirred on the issue of production but Government are seriously handicapped by conditions of security from being able to reveal to the public anything but a small part of what they are doing and what further plans they have in mind.
The position of Russia, her heroic fight and her growing need of the weapons of war has made the issue of production in this country one of the greatest moment,
There is no question that the public would whole-heartedly_en- dorse any
ic Pction that Gov- ernment might feel themselves compelled to take to secure the maximum output, and any sucri fices and hardships that such a course entailed would be borne both willingly and gladly.
