RELUCTANCE TO LEND
ATTITUDE CRITICISED Those in a position to invest substantial sums of money in war bonds, but who refrained from doing so because they declared they were not entirely satisfied that the money was being spent correctly, came in for criticism from the chairman of the Hastings National' Savings Committee, Mr D. G. Begley, at the inauguration of “Bonds for Bombers” Week. “I say very definitely that these people are frustrating our war effort,” he said. The men who took up that line of argument set themselves up as final arbitrators to say whether or not they should lend their money and whether or not it was being spent wisely. The Japanese, the Nazis and their hordes, if they invaded New Zealand and over-ran the country, would not ask us how we wanted our freedom or how we wanted our money spent. , ~
