Bv the Associated Press.
LONDON. Dec. 4.-The House OF
Commons today gave general ap-
proval to Minister Churchill's plan
for maximum mobilization of men
and women by a vote of 326 TO 10
after putting down an insureent
Laborite amendment which also
would nave conscripted wealth.
This vote was preliminary to &C
ton on the bill itself and was asked
by the Independent Labor Party on
Mr.. Churchill's suggestion that:
For the purpose Of securing
maximum national effort in con-
duct OF the war and in produc-
ton. the obligation for national
service should be extended to in
clude the resources Of woman power
and man power still available
Following the vote on that gen.

unmarried women between 20 and
30 years of age and TO raise the
limits OF the draft to include men
up to 81 and reduce the number
Of exemptions. was introduced i'm
mediately.
Amendment Beaten. 1886 to 40.
The Laborite amendment which
also would have nationalized many
industries was beaten, 1886 to 40
1t previously had been diSapproved
at caucus which had smoothed
over a threatened Laborite split on
the issue
To meet Laborite assertions that
the conscription was not going to be
broad enough. Labor Minister En-
nest Bevin told Parliament before
the vote that the government was
determined that neither interest.
property, persons nor prejudices"
would be allowed to interfere with
the supreme objective of winning
the war.
The vote Of 40 for the amendment
expressed the most dangerous in
surgency weathered by Mr..
Churchill since he took over the
government in MAY. 1870
In the few debates which have
been forced to a vote since Mr..
Churchill became Prime Minister
the votes against the government
have usually fiuctuated between two
and five.
Frequent Criticism.
The fact that 40 voted for the
amendment indicated. according to
most observers. a crystallization Of
dlscontent over the government
mobilization of production. Failure
OF the government to take stronger
line with Industry has been fire.

The proposed conscription would
bring more than 100000 more men
and women into the armed services,
