“The French Government intended at first to solve this problem by recruitment, especially of the affectés spéciaux. This method has been abandoned and that of voluntary enrollment has been attempted with a view to the liberation of prisoners. The past months have shown that the end in view cannot be achieved by means of voluntary recruitment.


“In France, German armament orders have increased in volume and urgency. Moreover, special tasks have been set, the accomplishment of which depends upon the supply of a very considerable number of workers.


“In order to assure the realization of the tasks for which France is responsible in the sphere of the Arbeitseinsatz, the French Government must now be asked to put into execution the following measures:


“1) The publication of a decree, concerning change of place of work. By virtue of this decree, leaving the place of employment and engaging labor depends on the approval of certain specified authorities.


“2) The institution of compulsory registration of all persons out of work, as well as of those who do not work full-time or are not permanently employed. This compulsory registration is to ensure the fullest recruitment possible of all the reserves still available.
