MUST NOT SUFFER.
EX-SOLDIERS WHO "CRACK UP"
GOVERNMENT'S INTENTIONS.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
MASTERTON, Saturday.
The country must see to it that none of the returned soldiers who "crack up" are allowed to suffer, declared the Prime Minister when speaking at a dinner given ill his honour by the returned soldiers to-night. Mr. Coates referred to the men who were suffering from a disability of which it was impossible for medical men and others to say whether it was due to war service or not. The Government would see that these men and their wives and families, in deserving cases, did not suffer. The same thing ought to apply to South African war veterans. Mr. Coates said some home for these men would have to be found, and so long as no raid were made on the Treasury ho was perfectly certain that the country would stand behind them.
