DOMINION'S PART.
— ( SECOND WAR LOAN FORECASTED. Wellington, Last Night. Questioned to-day as to the possibility of a second .war loan being floated in New Zealand, the Hon. A. if. Myers, Jihiister of Finance, remarked that authority would certainly bo asked for that purpose on the meeting of 'Parliament. "It is, o£~coursc, the obvious responsibility of the (government, *' said Mr. Myers, ''to raise, sufficient fmuls for the financing of our share of the war costs, which, as is well known, now approximate. one million pounds per month. The country, despite the withdrawal for military purposes of so many of'our men, is in aii unexampled state of prosperity, and I venture to say that the people of the Dominion are only awaiting the opportune}' of further proving their readiness to meet all the. demands made upon them in support of the /Empire's war against militarism and fiiglitfulness. Such opportunity will be afforded when thp time comes for the Government to ask.for subscriptions to a second Xew Zealand war loan."
