Belund them, we still have our heavy industries, working full blast to overtake the arrears caused by the war. and we still have our agriculture. In other words, for the Arst time in 200 years, there is a sporting chance of establishing balanced economy in our country.
It happened ilke this. When we found ourselves alone against Ger- many in 1940, our industry was drastically reorganised. Every fac tory that could do something to help the war was made to help it and new factories were built as well. And, for the Brst time, repetition work

DEMAND FOR LABOUR
We have now, as a result of the war, that little bit of experience we needed to make a start. We have the factories, too, turning over now from war to peace production. And

Perhaps 1 have given the im- pression that this is a disorganised thing, a sort of gold rush. It is not. It is being planned. In Britain, lo-. day, we are so short of building materials that everything is priorities, with the Goverment In control. If you want a factory, you have to get a licence to build it. So it follows that the Government has a good deal of say in what is hap- pening.
