POOR RESPONSE
TO AUSTRALIAN WAR LOAN APPEAL SOME COMPARISONS DRAWN. WITH CANADA AND NEW ZEALAND. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 1 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The response to the £100,000,000 war loan has been “most unsatisfactory and not worthy of Australia,” said the chairman of the Commonwealth Bank Board, Sir Claude Reading, broadcasting an appeal for support for the loan. He added that many people were languidly indifferent to war loans. So far only about 40,000 persons out of a population of 7,000,000 had made cash applicatons. In a recent loan in Canada there were 850,000 subscribers. Allowing for the smaller population of Australia, there should be 500,000 subscribers to the Australian loan when it closed at the end of this week. Mr W. Nash (New Zealand Finance Minister) said Australians would have to do a lot in the next few days if they wanted to equal New Zealand s loan record.
