A meeting under the auspices of the War At a meeting of the above on Friday last Savings Committee was held at the Literary . In- there were present : Mr. R. W. Griffiths ( Chair- stitute , Kington , on Monday evening with a man . Messrs . G. H. Jackson , E. W. Jones , view to forming War Savings Associations in T. W. Sankey , James Williams , E. Bird , E. Kington and District . Among those present R. Crump , W. C. Chambers , General Hore were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Banks , Rev. H. ( Military representative ) , W. Jenkins ( Agricul- E. H. Probyn , Captain E. A. Mahir , Mr. A. tural representative ) , and B. Philpin ( Clerk ) . J. Dillow , Mr. J. S. Allen , Miss Newbury , Miss Conditional exemption was granted in the Butterworth , Mrs. Stratton , Mr. A. M. Baker . following cases.- and Mr. H. A. Jenkin ( one of HM . Inspectors of Schools , who is Organising Secretary of the counties of Hereford , Worcester and Salop ) . Mr. W. H. Banks presided , and said that Mr. Jenkin had ' kindly come to explain the working of the War Savings Associations , and that he ( Mr. Banks ) had summoned to the meeting the representatives that Mr. Jenkin asked for . Kington was not in a very favour able condition for carrying out a great deal of War Savings on account of trade in the town not being as brisk as it had been in the past . He had no doubt that War Savings would , however , be carried on there , but he thought a word of warning should be given that people ought not to be patriotic at the ! expense of any obligations they may have in the way of rents , rates and other things . Mr. Jenkin in his remarks stated that the national financial position was in a far more serious state than many people realised . The National Debt now stood at about 3,700 mil- lions , which would mean very heavy taxation after the war . If the war stopped at the pres- ent time they would be faced with an annual charge for interest on that debt of 150 mil- lions a year , and they might very well be pre- pared for the first Budget after the war to be 500 millions , which would be more than twice the amount of the last Peace Budget . They would have to be prepared for a largely in - 1 creased taxation , with taxes at a much higher rate than they were before the war , so that there was every need for economy at the pres- ent time . In 1908 when the Old Age Pensions Bill was being debated a prominent City finan- cier expressed the opinion that the country was incapable of standing the weight of that measure . The cost of that bill was 13 millions . a year , whilst at the present time they were spending more than that every 52 hours . In the Somme Battle last autumn the average ex- penditure of shells was two millions a week and the average cost of these shells was more than 3 guinéas . The only way to face this immense bill was by organisation of money in the same way that men and industry had been organised . They must be organised in the matter of money whether they liked it or not . Oak Inn without any lights . Square .

He re- for this purpose , and after the War Loan sub - plied that he could not as it was scriptions closed that organisation continued Witness said defendant had lamps on the trap and War Savings Associations had been formed which he could have taken off and lighted in at the rate of about 2,000 a week . If , as he the stable before starting . hoped , they would decide to start a local Com- mittee for that purpose that night and go forth as missionaries to urge as many as pos- sible to join the Association , they should urge the great need for economy .

The more wealthier classes were appealed to at the be- ginning of the war by the issue of a 3 per cent . War Loan and to give the same oppor- tunity to the small investor War Savings Cer- tificates were issued . They were instituted about 18 months ago and bear interest if they are held for 5 years at the rate of slightly more than 5 per cent . They are issued from every THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH . issue .
