Speaking of a national service law, as most of the coun- ^ seems to be after the President’s message to Congress, it is interesting to see how similar legislation has worked out in Great Britain. The chief points of interest in a> quick survey would seem to be these: «... National service was imposed quickly. Eight months after war begi^n, the second emergency powers act required citizens to “plM« themaelvesi their services, and their prop erty at the disposal of his majesty.” Opposition was shortlived. It came principally from the extreme left, and largely dissolved upon Lair’s early in clusion in the government. National service has not stopped strikes, although all strikes are ’’illegal.” There have ^en frequent work stop pages. the largest involving two hundred fifty-two thousand coal miners.' But none has been nationwide, none has been authorized and almost all have been oif short duration. Britain lost one million five hundred twenty-seven thousand man days from strikes in 1942, as again.st five million nine hundred thousand in 1918. Manpower control, in both the armed forces and indus try, is centered in the ministry of labor, which administers the war cabinet’s manpower policy. The principal tools of this control are the restriction on engagement order of May, 1940, and the essential work orders of April, 1941. The .first ruled that most employment could be secured only through the labor ministry’s employment exchanges. The second prevented workers’ being fired or leaving their jobs, with a lew exceptions, without labor ministry permission. Men from eighteen to forty-one are being called for military service, and those of forty-one to fifty are registered for industry. All w’omen from eighteen to forty-five h?ive been registered for employment, although those who have children living with them are not called for work interviews. Womra of nineteen to twenty-four already are drafted for The auxilTai^ services; civlt defense OT spectit industHil jobs. Most Britons are at work—far more than are registered under the national service law. 'Last spring the minister of labor reported that less than three million persons, including children* the sick, crippled and aged, were not in some form of national service. Britain’s national sennee regulations have ample ma chinery for appeals by workers or employers. Penalties, which run up to two years in prison and five hundred pounds for workers, and the prison, term and unlimited fines for employers, are not often imposed, and then only as a last resort The universal draft system seems to be working smoothly .in the United Kingdom, but it would be foolish, on the basis of that to attempt a prognosis of a similar system’s success over here. Britain’s size, population, economic setup and economic problems are too different from ours. Also, ^tain has been through a blitz, and the front is still only 21 miles - across the Channel- f A DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE.

Major Brailsford paid a glowing tribote to the actlrities ^of the R-id Croak ladies and deciar^ that the success that Bas been made at the Camden chapter can be attributed to the steadfastness of the members.

It Happen*—fauore.** iTHE Blouse for your Spring Suit Robert D. Murphy, UniUd States ambassador, who was roundly criticised for 4iis handling of the North African political situation at the time of the American invasion, defended himself in a radio round table broadcast. When he was -asked why he dealt tilth “Vichyites” he replied: “When you are working inside a cage with a tiger, your technique has to be quite different from that of the indepen dent and carefree critic standing safely outaide.” Ambassa dor Murphy puts it the best way we have seen. It is a per fect answer to all the armchair commentators who, safely at home in America, think they know just how to run the war in the “Mediterranean, irivade TYestern^Europe Thd" open road to Tokio. They believe they know just how to solve all the political questions involved in dealing with other —nationa -while-These military objectlvef" are being reached.
