INVALIDITY PENSIONS.
Tito letters von have published 071 this question disclose ,1 very grave state of affairs in regard to examinations and reports of pensions doctors when applicants are rejected in spite of specialists' reports. Unless the Appeal Board is composed of impartial men, I am afraid it will be of little use. as from past experience of many cases of genuine and permanent disability being turned down on the bare word of pension doctors there seems little hope for many of the unfortunates in our midst. The Labour party was loud in its assertions that pensions would be granted to all physically unfit for work, so let the Government now keep this promise and so end once for all this matter. Mr. Parry should see that his wishes are carried °»t- C. E. KXIGHT.
