Jones, at i a post and telegraph social function. I "Our aim.” said the Minister, ‘‘is to j improve the general living conditions 1 of the people, and I think we can | modestly claim to have done a great j deal toward reaching that goal. , Our i task is not yet finished, but the pro- ! posed legislation will carry us even | further toward our objective.” Mr Jones said that the Post Office ; Savings Bank returns now constituted ; a record. There was more money in (circulation, but at the tame time | people were realising the value of thrift. i "Perhaps it is the though; that the air, navy, and ground defence forces
are behind the Post Office Savings Bank, and that with such backing the bank would hardly be robbed that :s inducing the people to bank more, concluded the Minister.
