There have been plenty of r e.
ported studies made in regard to
manpower needs of the armed
services n d war industries.
which are commonly designated
as armament, airplane and ship
building. We have been told
that all ablebcdied men and wo-
men will ultimately be forced in
to industries essential to our
war program. Thus, millions of
men have been faced with the
choice of gun or . welder's
torch. apparently in the belief
that we could live, eat and fight
with these instruments alone.
The time has long passed when
attention should have been given
to t h e manpower n e e d 8 of
the industries that keep the "es-
sentiol" industries going.
