Fiji Issues War Bonds

THE Government of Fiji has issued war bonds in £lOO and £5 denominations, redeemable in 1951-53.

The principal and interest of the bonds will be a charge on the assets and re venues of the Fiji Government. The proceeds of the loan will be utilised for the prosecution of the war and may be re-lent to the British Government, which has undertaken to meet interest charges in respect of any money so lent. If not previously redeemed, the bonds will be repaid at par on September 1, 1953, but the Government of Fiji reserves to itself the right to redeem the bonds, in whole or in part, by drawings or otherwise, at par on, or at any time after September 1, 1951, on giving three calendar months’ notice in the “Fiji Royal Gazette.”

Money has become plentiful in Fiji since the Pacific war commenced, and response to the appeal should be great.

The Rev. J. D. Bodger, well-known Anglican missionary of Dogura, Papua, is at present in Sydney.
