War Loan drive fuels Australian appeals in Melbourne hall
Subscriptions surged on opening day as Prime Minister Curtin urged unity to back the war effort. Major lenders including Victoria’s Bare Savings Bank, Mutual Life and Citizens Insurance, and Australian Mutual Provident Society pledged significant sums, with totals reaching into the millions. Authorities warned of shortages and urged farmers and workers to support munitions and industrial output to sustain allied nations in the war. The rally at Melbourne Town Hall stressed national sacrifice and highlighted government plans to mobilize resources and manpower for ongoing war needs.
