The Government are by no means deal to the entreaties that have been made to them but their desire is to attain with a minimum of distoca- tion the target of production at which they have almed.

Further Steps

There is every reason to believe that further steps are contemplated by the Government in the use of the extraordinary powers conferred on them by Parliament in the early days of their existence, more especially in regard to women

Large numbers of women are re; quired by the Auxiliary Territorial Service so that fit men can be re- leased for fighting and I would cause little surprise in political circles if a measure of compulsion is enforced, especially among the younger women who are not doing work of national Importance.
