 Mayor Desmond spoke strongly up. on the in1pe-tive necessity of sup 1 porting our government by lending i our money as we have ;eid them tc carry this war to a successful con i elAsien. We have told them to Rt l ahead and We must back them up witl l our money If we don't lend it to then now and there should be 8 deficit o1 this war, this opportunity for gilt edged investment would not be Of tered again for our govers sment wotilt have to come back and fake it out o
 our pockets. No one should say he can
 not lend more beca use he hasn't tn
 actual cash in hand just at this mo
 nent. Thanks to the resburces of ou
