A meeting of the employees of Messrs Thos Borthwick & Sons (A’sia) Ltd. was.held at the Waingawa Works yesterday morning in support of the Third Liberty Loan, there being a full attendance. The meeting was addressed by Mr P. J. Borthwick, who stressed the importance of everyone lending their money now on an all-out war effort, and by so doing savings would be accumulated for the post war period. He pointed out that’ by spending all our earnings now we would be buying in most cases goods that were in short supply and also paying higher prices for goods that could be purchased at lower prices after the war. Our obligation was to see that our fighting forces were provided with the best possible equipment and we should also make sure that when our boys returned they would find the country in a sound financial position. The postponement of expenditure on work that was not absolutely necessary meant that employment would be facilitated when it was most needed after the war. It would be a great contribution towards the rehabilitation of our returned men and would also assist in the war loan effort.
Several questions were asked and satisfactorily answered. Mr A. Cretney, on behalf of the employees, moved a vote of thanks to Mr Borthwick for his address, and in doing so stated that the employees of the firm were one hundred per cent behind the loan. .
The motion was carried by acclamation.
