Canada’s selective service system is not, like the American, the military draft. It is the equivalent of Paul Mc¢Nutt’s manpower coms-|\ie mission. It was set up and its powers were defined by an order in council ¢orresponding to an executive order from the White House, and had no statutory basis or mandate. Theoretically, the selective service system up here is all-inclusive, It was designed to co-ordinate the manpower requirements of the army, the navy, the air force, munitions and supply, agriculture, and civilian industry.

No Employment Control

Selective service was supposed to be given control over the 115 employment offices, which were to serve as its local agencies. If never got that control. Selective service was supposed to have jurisdiction over the military draft, now vested in the war service department.

Without those, and without the power to compel transfer of workers from - dispensable to essential plants, selective service had to depend upon the voluntary co-opera-tion of agencies which, whenever opinions differed, could stymie the manpower program completely.

Rush to Enlist

Whenever the war services department announced a new call up of conscripts, men threatened with the draft would rush wholesale to recruiting offices in order to select their own branches of service. Director Little then would receive frantic : calls from critical war industries, reporting that their key men had volunteered for armed service. He could and did freeze workers into an industry, ‘though not into specific plants. But he could not eontrol-the drafting of key industrial employees, or prevent their enlistment. To fill their places and keep vital war plants running, he had to pull wires liké a diplomat trying to avert war by inducing one sovereign nation to cede territory to another.

‘War Cabinet Has Power

Nor did he have a statutory mandate defining his powers. Burdened with heavy responsibility, armed with paper authority, when he fieeded real sanctions he had to run to the war cabinet and say “pretty please.” Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell charges Mr. Little with wanting to be a czar. Without a single ex-: ception, everybody with whom this correspondent has talked in Ottawa laughs at that, Nor was this the issue of a laborbaiter seeking arbitrary powers which were denied to him in the interest of democracy. True, Mr. Little is a major industrialist up here, and Mr. Mitchell a former labor leader. But in this fight both branches of organized labor backed Mr, Little to the limit and condemned Mr. Mitchell bitterly,
