DESERVED PRIDE
CITY OF LONDON
WAR WEAPONS DRIVE
THREE FIGHTERS PER MINUTE

The subscriptions are a fitting symbol of the unimpaired strength of the financial capital of the Empire. All sections of the community have done their bit, but no one denies that the banks have played a part of outstanding importance in swelling the total. This has given financial commentators ground for the complaint that the appeal would more genuinely represent public self-denial if the bank subscriptions were excluded. They suggest that the Dominions should note this if they take up the same idea for raising funds.—U.P.A.
