Manpower from U.S. \ G.208/ 3.^ /41
2nd October, 1941
Doa: *-MrvOrdway,
I am sorry that I have not written
to you before about the proposals which we dis-
- jn    cus3ed here on September 17th, and I an afraid
that I still have very little to tell you. Your
proposals are bsln^ actively discussed, both
v/ith the British authorities concerned and also
v/ith the United States officials who have been
kind enough tc help ua in the natter.   V/e hope
to be able to put your ideas into effect as part
of a general scheme for utilizing the services of
United States citizer.a who have volunteered for
work in England.   The scheme as a whole is
principally declined bo meet the case of persons
with technical qualifications; but as a result of
your suggestions we are hoping to create a section
for non-skilled or semi-skilled men.   As soon as
this has been decided in principle v/e shall be
writing to you again, and wo shall then very much
hope to have your assistance in setting up the
machinery and getting it to work.
Yours sincerely,
¦    0. Hayter.
