VICTORY LOAN LAGGING.
I ' ONLY ONE MORE DAY_ _ . INVESTORS, HURRY UP! T The Victory Loan is hanging fire. There is no doubt of it Bankers, sharebrokers, and financial men all agree that the public is not responding freely to the Government’s appeal. Cases of liberal subscriptions are on record, but they are the exception, not the rule. Thursday is closing day, and if something different does not happen in -the next 48 hours there is a. prospect that the result will be no credit to the Dominion. * How much money awaits investment is shown by the record banking returns, but not much of this liquid wealth has been offered to the State since the last loan was floated. The Government has compulsory poWcrs_, and it announces that it will use them. The £lO,-000,000 must be raised, and if voluntary investments fails, compulsion will follow. Under complsion only 3 per cent. interest is payable
