There is also the question of labour. Critics claim that little has been done with the compulsory powers that the Minister of Labour, Mr. Ernest Bevin, anna some time ago. Some members urge more drastic action regarding the mobilization of industry and labour for the war effort. Some responsible people are urging a radical change in governmental machinery, which they feel is not best fitted to get the maximum war effort. They suggest reorganization to ensure effective compliance with executive decisions.—Memo*'s of Parliament want the war effort extended in the greatest possible way, and will spare no effort to achieve this, knowing they have the whole-hearted support of the country.
Closer ce-operation with leading Empire statesmen will certainly be urged. though it is realized that such direct ce-operation in London is not as easy as it was during the last war, owing to the more exacting call on their own ministers by the Dominions.
