Loan Drive, and the Twin Cities were unanimously chosen as the Iogical meeting point. The purpose of the Meeting was to lay plans for the Sixth Campaign which opens April 24th, and to con- sider ways and means of improving the Victory Loan organization, in order to raise the largest possible amount of money. Mr. T. D'Arcy. Leonard, Chairman of the National Finance Committee for the Province of Ontario attended the Meeting, arid addressed a mass meeting of the delegates in the morn- ing session.
