"The problem deals primarily with the necessity of directing the nareosary

to depend an spontaneous treaefar, oP manpuuer to industry because large maapover

"Ia addition to the transfer of the agricultural population to industry,
urban manpower reserves mustf be utilized better, mainly through more recrult-
