NAZI LABOUR PROBLEM: Where Britain Has
Big Advantage LONDON, Nov. 13 (Reuter).The "Economist" produces figures show Ing that wherees Germany requires the labour of 140 men to produce food for every 1,000 men, Britain re- quires only 60.
This is due to the fact that a greater part of German food is home grown and to the poor organisation of Ger- man agriculture.
Britain is obtaining a great part of food by exchange of industrial pro- of n ducts, and reaps the, benellt division of labour on an international senie.
It follows that Britain has a pro- portionately larger quantity of inbour available to devote to war purposes.

It points out the high cost of Finland's mobilisation and claims that Finland is on the brink of ruin, and that it cannot stand the financial strain for many more months,
The Soviet Press also accuses the Finnish Government of not informing the Finnish Parliament of the true nature of the Soviet demands,
This is refuted, by many official statements which have been released, such as M. Erkko's observation that the Soviet demand for a Finnish island was like demanding Sandy Hook from the United States or the Isle of Wight from England.
