CONFIDENCE IN VICTORY

Savings Cast Into Nations War Chest

LONDON, Dec. 10 (BWS)-The debrand for new savings certificates and defence bonds, which from the moment of their issue was prompt, continúes substantial, and satisfaction with the progress of the national savings movement was expressed yesterday in a speech,;, in the City by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John Simon.

The Dally Telegraph says that no better evidence could be given of the people's wholehearted ap- proval of the war, and of their un- qualified confidence in a victorious issue, than their readiness to cast their savings into the national war chest.

Referring to Sir John Simon's' statement that we have now reach- ed a stage of war when saving. In order to lend to the Government. must take precedence over private spending. The Times says that while we cannot allow normal in- dustry to perish owing to the need to manufacture for export, the im- portance of keeping home trade going cannot be overlooked.

Broadly speaking. "the nation is content to give its surplus spend- ing power into the hands of "the Government subject only to the provision that the Government will turn that spending-power in the right directions and that they will use it without waste." says The Times.

That is why the demand for re- vision of our economic organization has arisen and cannot be satisfied by he increase in our export trade That increase dunag November.

is a cause for satisfaction but not for complacency."
