PROGRESS OF LIBERTY LOAN
FIGURES from the Whakatane Postal area, relative to the Third Liberty Loan indicate that the average wage-earner is not supporting the appeal as well as he might. To the loan itself some fifty subscribers have found £12,470 to date. This sum is increased by £603 from fifteen subscribers for War Bonds and a further £460 from National Savings Deposits. The s most glaring , feature of all is the fact that £7000 has been found by only live subscribers out of the whole district there have been only 50 subscribers to the loan altogether and of this number it is estimated that barely fifteen come under the category of wage earners. This loan is regarded as the 'peoples loan' and unless it is cupported by the people everywhere, irrespective of the size of their subscription, it can only be met by more compulsory means, viz., taxation.
