WAGES HAVE RISEN

A WEEK SINCE WAR

Most Of The Increase HAILE SELASSIE WORKERS SAY: 'CANCEL

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 staffs 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 cxtra a week,

Part of this "extra" wages is going into the National Ex- chequer in the form of Savings Certificates and Post Office Savings! Bank Deposita.

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.

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 suvings 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

Bource.

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 moro than this amount for himself, but a man with 'a family can buy 500 certifientes 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.
