Britons Must In
crease Production
(By Williams L. Phillips)
LONDON, </P)—The Labor party
government issued today a grim
white paper called “a working
pattern for the nation.” It told the
austerity-weary Britons they must
increase production or risk the
“foun lations of our national life.”
The white paper—uesignation of
important official documents is
sued by the government—said:
The nation needs coal, produc
tion, foreign currency.
The private individual must
continue rationing, forego hopes of
shorter hours, increase his indi
vidual output in mine mill, fac
tory.
Organized labor must abandon
“industrial arrangements which
restrict production, prices or em
ployment.”
Industry must export one-fourth
its products and accept a stern
system of priority allotments of
manpower and supplies.
Sir Stafford Cripps, board of
trade president, told a news con
ference the plan is not “Totalitar

ian.”
"We do not say that whether
yon like it or not you have got to
go into the coal mine, or a steel
factory, or whatever it may be,”
he said.
"Instead, we try to induce em
ployers and employees to conform
to a pattern of industrial produc
tion in order to get the greatest
benefits for the nation as a whole.”
