THE R.A.F. : AND SKILLED 'LABOUR [To the Editor of
the SPEcr.vron.] Sin,—On page 519 Mr. Buchan in dealing with liberties of the air points out that the young man on retiring from the R.A.F. does so more or less equipped for civil life. This is highly desirable, not only from the individual but from -a ' national point of view. Theie young men will 'fill' some of the gaps in the ranks of the skilled Mechanics, gaps which • are being -purposely created by the trade unions:' One of the worst, if not the most isinister features in labour control to-day is the limitation of apprentices. -- What will the' trades
be like ten or -even five yeara time ? There" are not
• enough. competent skilled 'men noW.
Yet, so far as I can see, the employers ignore the subject and the Government are as bad.--I am, Sir; &c., 'Martindale; 15•Mosiyn Road, Brixton, S.W. E. RICE.
