1:08:01
l take it we all agree
that if we're to avoid disaster...
1:08:05
...we build a new bridge, at the site
picked by Reeves, 400 yards downstream.
1:08:13
Let's proceed to the next point.
1:08:15
Let's proceed to the next point.
1:08:16
l decided to alter
the work quota of our men.
1:08:19
-Alter?
-I've increased it.
1:08:21
From 1 .5 yards of earth moved
to two.
1:08:24
I'm sure it will
meet with your approval.
1:08:27
Hughes has all the facts.
Would you take over?
1:08:30
I've done a time study
of the entire project.
1:08:33
You see, the available forces
have been badly distributed.
1:08:37
I'd urge we revise the
organization of the working parties.
1:08:41
Just a moment. Colonel, it would save
time if we could work during dinner.
1:08:46
Would it be possible
to have dinner?
1:08:49
Of course.
1:08:53
-Carry on.
-Yes, sir.
1:08:55
If we increase the squads
and specialize their functions...
1:09:03
Now, Colonel Saito,
l have one more point....
1:09:07
Now, there's another important
decision that can't be postponed.
1:09:12
As the British
will work on the bridge...
1:09:14
...only a few will be available
for railway work.
1:09:18
l must ask you to lend us some of your
men to reinforce the railway gang...
1:09:22
...so the final stretch of track can
be completed as quickly as possible.
1:09:28
l have already given the order.
1:09:30
We must fix the daily work quota
for your men.
1:09:34
l thought to set it at 1 .5 yards
so as not to overtire them...
1:09:38
...but isn't it best
to be the same as ours?
1:09:41
That would also create a healthy
competitive spirit.
1:09:45
l have already given the order.
1:09:49
We'll try to surpass that,
won't we, Hughes?
1:09:52
l think that completes
the agenda for tonight.
1:09:55
Thank you, Colonel Saito,
for your kind attention.
1:09:58
Are there any other questions?
