BY £2,000,000 WAR STARTED
Most Of The Increase HAILE SELASSIE
Goes Into
Into Savings
By EDWARD C. GAYLER, Sunday Dispatch Finance News Editor
BRITAIN'S wage bill has gone up by well over £2,000,000
a week since the war started. This sum represents the increases which employers are paying to their staffa to meet the increased cost of living.
"
It does not include overtime payments. Were this sum to be included, the total increase would be somewhere in the neighbourhood of £7,000,000 extra a week.
Part of this "extra" wages in going into the National Ex- chequer in the form of Savings Certificates and Post Office Savings Bank Deposits.
Since the National Savings Committee started its campaign, well over £190,000,000 has been raised to finance our war effort. Last week's total "small" savings was nearly £11,000,000, or the best week since the beginning of last December.
Then the new War Loan brought in an additional
£300,000,000,
Now that strict control is being, exercised over war profits, with the application of a 100. per cent. Excess Profits Tax and the limitation of dividends, people all over the country want to invest in Government securities.
Waiting For A New Loan
The public is anxiously awaiting another War Loan in order to find an outlet for savings accumulated in the last few months. As soon as Sir Kingsley Wood cares to announce the details
of his next loan, he can be assured of success,
In the meantime, people with money saved up need not wait for a new loan. They can put their money into Savings Certi- ficates. It is not too much to expect £1,000,000 a day from this
source.
At present, Individual subscription to National Savings Cer- tificates is limited to £375 worth, i.e., 500 Savings Cer- tificates. No one is allowed to hold more than this amount for himself, but a man with a family can buy 500 certificates each for wife and children.
The Government needs every penny that the public can spare,
and it is the small investors who are the backbone of the country's finance..
People who have reached the maximum of Savings Certificates can start again with National Defence Bonds, which are ob- tainable in multiples of £5. They can be bought through the many existing Savings Groups. "Guess Where" Note In Burning Building

PARACHUTISTS: POLICE ARMED
BRITAIN is now thoroughly prepared to deal with invasion by parachute troops. Holiday makers saw some of the precautions in operation recently.
Soldiers carrying revolvers mixed with the crowds on the sea-front of one town, and also patrolled the pier.
Bridges, main cross-roads, and other strategic points in the area were under armed guard.
At a civil airport in one town, troops in steel helmets, with fixed bayonets, guarded all approach roads and kept watch from the tower of the Administration building..
In some-towns every N.C.O., although normally off duty, is carrying a rifle and ball ammunition. Certain police officers have been issued with automatic revolvers,
