MINISTER'S BUDGET HINT
P.O. SAVINGS BANK TOTAL (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. A Budget hint was given by the Minister of Finance, the Hon. W. Nash, when speaking at the founda-tion-stone ceremony at the new Lower Hutt Post Office yesterday. He said there was £63,000,000 in the Post Office Savings Bank—more than had ever been known previously in New Zealand. No other country per capita of population saved so much, except under the war savings scheme in Britain. He hoped New Zealanders would note that and save even more. He was going to tell the country on Wednesday night, the Minister continued, that it would cost as many million pounds for the war next year as one could think of quietly— as many as he had mentioned were in the Post Office Savings Bank.
