THE KAIPARA AND WAITEMATA ECHO With which is incorporated "The Kaipara Advertiser & Waitemata Chronicle" HELENSVILLE, THURSDAY, April 11, 1918. THE WAR LOAN.

AGAIN we remind our readers that New Zealand requires a further nine and a-half millions for war purposes, and we feel sure the appeal of the Minister for Finance to the people of this Oountry to provide that sum by the 15th proximo will be responded to as willingly as was the case on the two previous occasions when Sir Joseph Ward asked for loans for war purposes. In 1916 ten days was the period allotted for the subscription of eight millions, and this was over-subscribed to the extent of over three millions. Last year the Government asked for twelve millions, and the response was over sixteen milions. On this occasion the amount asked for is nine and a half millions, and such is the determination and confidence of the people of the Dominion that the result is not in doubt. To raise thirty-four million pounds within such a short space oj time will rebound for ever to the credit of the Dominion, and every man, woman, and child should be able to say with pride : " I helped to win the war!" The investment is a gilt-edged one, and any information required can be obtained on application at any Bank or Money. Order Office. In view of the urgent appeal and striking message of Britain's Prime Minister, published last week, there should be no further necessity to call upon everyone to subscribe to the War Loan to the utmost shilling.
