NEGIECT OF DUTY
WAR LOANS SHOULD U
SUBSQffIgED TO
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. A disturbing feature regarding' subscriptions to the war loans was mentioned by Mr. John Frater, chairman of the Auckland §toek Exchange, at the annual meeting of the, exchange tqday,, •'■"."• Brokers found their lists of sup? scribers to the last issue almost identical with those for the May igsue, he said, and with the Victory Loan list in August last year. Obviously a large seotian of the public were not doing their share. The number of subscribers to the last issue, about 25,000, was far too small, We had about 150,000 men updgr ftfms, Jf we could not serve surely we eq\u4 provide funds tq equip oip? splendid fighting men. Mr, Frater added that there was not a section who invested in Stock ?&* change securities who had failed td respond, but apparently there was a large body of Citizens who did not realise how much wiser they would be to invest in the war loans than leave their funds lying idle. He hoped the next loan subscribers would number upwards of 100,000.
A supplemept to the Qazette issued today cancels the calling-up of 61 reservists with the Armed Forces.
