2 As early as August, 1914, the UIban centers were already threatened with a shortage of food. Ernest Solvay, the Belgian millionaire and philanthropist, Brand Whitlock, the American, and the Marquis Villalobar, the Spanish minister, met in September, I916, to discuss the ways and means of ensuring a food supply. Their efforts led to the Commission for Relief in Belgium. The Governor General promised to exempt from requisition all foodstuffs handled by the Commission, and ultimately a small but welcome ration was distributed to local committees throughout the country.
6 When the Governor General of Belgium swung over to the side of the Supreme Command, the Ministry of War changed its position. 7 The Ministry still advocated that voluntary recruitment remain in Poland, that Polish Jews be incorporated into this program, and that the Industrial Bureau continue to operate in Belgium. The latter might be able to increase its success if it would stipulate, besides the wages, the quality and quantity of food to be received. But the main point was that the Ministry of War followed the lead of von Bissing and consented to a program of compulsory labor for the Belgians.
For everyone hundred available openings in war industries, there were some one hundred and sixty women seeking employment. 3 Bethmann Hollweg correctly pointed out that this surplus of woman labor available for the war industries could be rectified, not by a compulsory labor law that would include women, but by encouraging management to hire them. Management would have to change its outdated ideas about woman labor in the nontraditional factory occupations, and establish suitable facilities and working conditions for them.
