SIR JOSEPH WARD.
I ON BORROWING AND TAXATION. By Telegraph.—Press . Association. Dunedin, Yesterday. Sir Joseph Ward, in an interview today, discussing the question of borrowing, said that he was of opinion that it would be unnecessary for some time to go on the market, and it was very improbable that tho Government would again need to enter the local market. The loan money in hand would enable them to carry on till 1017, when the war would probably be over. Regarding further taxation, it was impossible to say what would be required for the future. If the war ended within a year from now probably nothing further in the form of increased taxation would be required Sir Joseph qualified that by emphasising the. impossibility of forecasting the actual position of the future. He was hopeful that the war would be over, but he felt satisfied that if it should prove otherwise all sections of the community, recognising the enormous value of the issue, would gladly meet requirements.
