The resolution refers to the dis- trict Committee for Total War, and notes that in "looking over the list of sponsors it is noticeable that the majority are prominent in our tinaneial and industrial institutions and it is also noticeable that or- ganized labor, as usual. has not been consulted. Also, no mention is made of conscripting natural re- sources and industry. which is just as important." The Resolution The resolution to the prime min-, ister is as follows: "Whereas, it is recognized that a national emer- genev exists which calls for the mobilization of all our resources of men. materials, productive ma- chinery and wealth. and whereas, due to the restrictions on the manufacturer of non-essential goods, forcing workers to seek other employment. no shortage of labor exists. And whereas. our natural re- sources and productive machinery are mostly owned and controlled bv a very small percentage of the population. who are primarily in- terestod in further consolidating thor financial position. and are therefore responsible for shortage of assential materials so badly needed. if such is the case.
