PATRIOTIC FUNDS.
COMMITTEEMEN NOT PAID. AN" UNFOUNDED STATEMENT. An emphatic denial that memWrs of the committee of th- Auckland Patriotic Association are paid wa; made this morning by the chairman. Mr. V. ,T. Lamer. '"Tho statement that the chairman gets a year, and that the com-
mitteemen £2 every time thev sit. is in itself too ridiculous to deserve contradiction, he -aid. '"The statement is reported to have been made at a rpee , 'n rr of the e\-Serv"!'~em«n' i Eea:rue in the Chamber of Commerce on WedneMav even;ii2. and. if correctly reported, there no e\fi;se for curb nn unwa-rantalde libel on men who have laboured for the past twelve years in the interests of the returned soldiers, without fee or reward of any kind. "To ray mind it does not aiii-ur well for the future of the ex-Servicemen's League when a man at the head can be guilty of such an unpardonable misstatement of facts."
