COUNTRY’S FINANCES
PRIME MINISTER OPTIMISTIC
CREDIT BALANCE EXPECTED
A brief though optimistic reference to the country’s finances was made by the Prime Minister (Right Hon. Sir Joseph Ward) in the course of a New Year’s message broadcast from his Heretaunga residence last night by station 2YA, Wellington.
“I am pleased to say,” Sir Joseph stated, “that the finances of the country have kept up well, and it fills one with hope that at the end of the year we will have a credit balance irrespective of the unusual and heavy expenditure that has occurred on account of the earthquake and unemployment, both of 'which have been assisted largely from loan moneys.”
