governments have entered into an
a agreement whereby Great Britain
will bear a part Of the financing Of

confronted with overpopulation and
is anxious to transport portion Of

For the first five years Great
Britain has agreed to pay half the
interest on the bonds to be floated,
but not to exceed per cent on the
loan, and one-third of the interest
during the second five-year period.
Details of just how the loan will
be expended have not been an

ton Of the campaign will be placed
in the hands Of a federal ministry
