EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Questions to Employers: What can you do? (WWI Parliamentary Recruiting Committee Poster, 1915) This powerful and evocative poster, produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee during World War I, poses a direct challenge to employers with the question, "Three Questions to Employers: What can you do?" The image features a determined and resolute figure of a woman, her arms outstretched, looking intently at the viewer. She wears a simple white blouse and a red sash, symbolizing her role as a patriotic citizen and her call to action. The background of the poster is dominated by the image of a crowded factory floor, with workers toiling away at their machines. The caption below the image reads, "More men are wanted today." The implication is clear: the war effort requires the manpower of these workers, and their employers have a responsibility to do their part by releasing them to join the army. The three questions posed to employers are: "Can you spare them? Can you afford to lose them? Don't you want them back?" The first question emphasizes the temporary nature of the request, while the second question highlights the economic benefits of having a well-trained and experienced workforce. The third question, however, is the most poignant: "Don't you want them back?" This question tugs at the heartstrings of employers, reminding them that their employees are not just workers, but also fathers, sons, and husbands who will one day return from the battlefield. This poster is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the role that employers played in supporting the war effort. It also highlights the importance of balancing the needs of the economy with the needs of the nation during times of crisis. The image of a determined and resolute woman, urging employers to do their part, is a powerful symbol of the spirit of wartime patriotism and the collective effort required to win the war.
