War Weapons Week Is Remarkable Success
(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) uONDON, May 23. Buying three fighters a minute throughout the week, the City of Lon don is deservedly proud of the success of its War Weapons Week. The subscriptions are a fitting symbol of the unimpaired strength of the Empire’s financial capital. All sections of the community have done their bit, but norie deny that the banks have played an important part in swelling the total. This has given financial commentators ground for the complaint that the appeal would more genuinely represent a public self-denial if the bank subscriptions were excluded. They suggest that the Dominions should note this if they take up the same idea of raising funds. A radio statement put the total subscribed, with one full day to go, at £100,600,000.
