THE CHINA MAIL, MAY 22, 1940.

MR. MORRISON'S CALL FOR LAST OUNCE OF EFFORT

London, To-day. THE CALL OF MR. HERBERT Morrison, Minister of Sup- ply, to the nation to put its last ounce of strength into the production of arms and the nation's response to it formed the theme of many editorials in yesterday's Bri- tish Press.

In the past few days, says the "News Chronicle," there has been an upward surge of determination. Everyone feels that the new Government is getting right down to the job of fighting the war with the last ounce of strength. The will to victory is striking. The, workers believe they will get a fair deal, and there never has been such solidarity as in Britain to-day.

The Labour "Daily Herald" says that the Cabinet will hear the views of its Labour members, and Labour M.P.'s must interpret this to the na- tlon.

The "Daily Mail" calls for a 24- hour day in war industries. The one shift system in the armaments fac- tories must be abolished. No vested Interests capital or labour --must be allowed to hamper the war effort, as we are rapidly approaching a situation in which the whole life of the coun- try may have to be conscripted.

Man-Power Mobilisation

The "Manchester Guardian” says the most serious inadequacy has been in the mobilization of man-power. Here Mr. Bevin, the new ' (Labour) Minister of Labour, can do much to secure the co-operation of Unions and to hasten the co-ordination of All branches of national service.-Reuter
