INTEREST ON SAVINGS
Contributions To War Expenses Fund THANKS OF GOVERNMENT Appreciation of the action of the large number of persons who had given authority to the postmasters throughout the Dominion to pay the interest earned on their Post Office Savings Bank accounts into the War Expenses Account was expressed by the Minister of Finance, Mr- Nash, in an address last evening. The sum so received, he said, was considerable, and on behalf of the Government he desired to thank sincerely all who had so generously helped. » Mr. Nash said that in addition to these donations the free-of-interest loans which came in every day had nearly reached the £2,000,000 mark. “This is an ‘all-in’ effort,” said the Minister, "and we should all do our part. Today an effort is required for the Red Cross Sick and Wounded Fund. If you have any money at your disposal you cannot use it better than by helping the organizers to reach their objective of a quarter of a million. Send it in today.”
