More Men for Industry Push Government Army Intake Cuts
The Minister for the Army Mr Forde said government decisions to release 20 000 men to industry and restrict monthly intake would cut Army strength by 90 000 in 12 months. He noted no alternative but to reduce Australian military establishment and accelerate discharges to meet essential industry labour needs. More than 12 700 men had been discharged in the last five months. The aim is to balance war effort with limited manpower, though practical achievement remains distant.
