Returned Servicemen Support Victory Loan

(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 4. The Dominion executive committee of the New Zealand Returned Servicemen's Association has issued an official appeal to its members and all ex-ser-vicemen urging them to [rapport the 1944 Victory Loan, states the National War Loan Committee. The reasons given apply equally well to us all. The appeal of the New Zealand Returned Servicemen’s Association states: “The papers are full of good news. The future is bright with promise. Millions of people think it is all over bar the shouting. But you know different. Every ex-serviceman knows that the toughest job is ahead of us—the smashing of the enemy on their home ground.

“Think back to your own war experience. Remember the supplies you saw pouring through the railheads in 1918— tho shell dumps, the comforting batteries that moved up under cover of night. They were the things that helped you to win your objectives and hold them.

“To-day supplies are even of more importance to our men overseas. Even the P. 8.1. is largely mechanised and they’ve got to have planes, tanks, munitions and other supplies multiplied beyond the power of the imagination. 6 ‘ That’s why we appeal to you now to invest in the 1944 Victory Loan. Perhaps you have bought them before. Then because of all you know and are make a still bigger purchase. The bond that will do the most is the bond

that you think you cannot afford. *< Perhaps you have sous or daughters who can save in order to lend. Help them to see their duty as clearly as you have always seen yours. ‘ 1 When all is said and done, who can be the worse for haying money tucked away and earning interest ready for when its all over, and who should know it better than you!"
