War Savings Certificates and War Loans Drive Intensifies
The campaign for War Savings Certificates and advance subscriptions to future War Loans gains pace as the community is urged to support the war effort. Savings Certificates suit those with small sums, while bank or brokered deposits for the next War Loan earn interest from lodgement. The Federal Treasurer expects defence expenditure of about £250 million in 1911/12.
War bonds urged to back financing of war effort
The article argues that public payments via War Loans and War Savings Certificates, plus bank credit, are necessary to fund wartime needs. It warns that overreliance on bank loans could cause lasting economic harm, inflation, and rationing, urging individuals with surplus funds to lend to the government to win the war and stabilize postwar finances.
