Acting Prime Minister Sir Arthur Fadden proposed a scheme to aid church schools in Canberra by subsidizing interest on loans for new or extended secondary schools. The Commonwealth would reimburse 5 percent annually for up to 20 years, with a maximum of 1080 pounds per year, contingent on churches raising capital. The plan excludes residential accommodation and aims to meet growing educational demand in Canberra.
