"CRACKING UP."
SOME RETURNED SOLDIERS,
DOMINION'S RESPONSIBILITIES
CARE AND ATTENTION NEEDED.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day.
"There are indications that some returned soldiers are getting into a state that few people are able to realise," said the Prime Minister in the course of his election address to-night.
The War Pension Board, Mr. Coates added, was one of the finest bodies that had been established for years, but a number of men were suddenly and unexpectedly "cracking up." Those men were the responsibility of the country, and it was the country's duty to see that they did not suffer. The Government had arranged an association of the R.S.A. and the Government to keep in touch with the distressed men, and see that they did not suffer in silence, and that they received the care and attention they werei entitled to.
