GOLD WON DURING THE WAR.
QUESTION ASKED IN OTAGO. DUNEDIN, Sept. 13. “It could not vanish into thin air, so where did it go?” asked Mr J. Anderson, of Arrowtown, when speaking at a Cromwell conference in support of a remit that the Government be asked to consider the question of purchasing gold. Mr Anderson said during the war years somebody made a profit of £l,000,000 off gold won by New Zealand miners. He knew that tho minors certainly did not get the benefit of the increased price paid by the Imperial Government. The Government denied getting it, ad the banks likewise pleaded not guilty.”
