ATTITUDE OF A BANK
SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION Melbourne, November 27. Regarding the report that a, bank had refused to allow its employees to volunteer, tho Prime Minister (Mr. Andrew Fisher) states that the superintendent of the Bank of Australasia saw him and pointed out that the bank had already allowed a very large number of its officers to go to tlio war from all the States and New Zealand, and the work could not be. carried on efficiently if more went. A circular had been sent out to this effect some time ago; also, stating that, officers mu6t apply for leave before volunteering. In the case referred to in tho Press the officer applied and was refused. He took the law into his own hands and resigned. In othor matters the bank had shown, its patriotism by subscribing liberally to the patriotic funds in Australia and New Zealand.
