The statement goes on to say that
the labor situation in Belgium has
grown worse and that conditions. are
now such as to necessitate improve
ment; hence the ordinances must be
enforced more vigorously in order to
relieve the situation. Before compul-
sorry transport, however, every idle
person is offered the opportunity vol
unfairly to accept profitable work on

fuses.
