GRANTS TO SOLDIERS.
STRAIGHT-OUT GIFTS, NOT
LOANS
(Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, May 10. As an impression has gained ground that the financial assistance now being afforded soldiers by the Government is in the form of a loan the board appointed to administer the funds desires to make it plain that the assistance is not a loan, but a straight-out gift to the soldiers. . . The regulations do not discriminate between officers and men, each case being treated on its merits, Hut an application is only considered after the applicant has been passed as medically About 350 cases have been dealt with to date, and as many more have been referred back for further information. ..-' The board is holding dajly sittings to cope with the- increasing applications.
