A BASELESS CHARGE
advances to workers.
Statements have been made by opponents of the Government that the Advances Department are not now lending money freely to workers. In reply to these charges, which he said were utterly baseless, the Prime Minister stated yesterday that during the December quarter of last year the Advances Department lent to 224 workers for the purpose of building homes a total sum of £64,250, and that during the September quarter the amount lent was £64,840 to 231 workers. He added that the war broke out in August, but it did not effect the advances in the September quarter. The fact that the advances during the December quarter ivere almost as great showed that the Government was not restricting the operations of this branch of State lending" .
