CARE OF EX-SOLDIERS.
WORK INSTEAD OF PENSIONS. COMMISSION TO INQUIRE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The appointment is announced by the Minister in Charge of the War Pensions Department (the Hon. T. M. Wilford) of Mr. J. S. Barton, S.M., Wellington, to be chairman of the Commission set up by the Government to devise means of providing such training and work for partially-disabled ex-soldiers as will enable them to do without the economic pension.
The Minister has made requests of the bodies concerned to appoint their representatives—one to act on behalf of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association and the Canteen Funds Trust Board, and the other on behalf of the National War Funds Council and the Red Cross Societies.
Mr. J. Harrison, general secretary of the R.S.A., will represent the association and the Canteen Funds Board on the Commission.
