AUSTRALIAN SOLDIERS' GRATUITY BONDS.
TO THE KDI7OK CT "TIIE PRESS." ; Sir, —A nnmber of Australian exsoldiers, resident in the Dominion, will shortly be in possession of their p;ra.taity bonds for active service. Tho Commonwealth and State public services, and a laigo number of business men in Australia, have decided to cash th 6 bonds, which maturo in three years at tho Fedo ,rt ' Tro.." '.ry, Me.h uwc. Australian soldiers with whom I have discussed the matter, would like to know whether any similar consideration m'ght be given them m New Zealand. Thero are probably a similar number of ox-soldiers from the Dominion now residing in Australia, and vice-versa. I notice in "The Press" to-day that a "Wellington business is willing to accept bonds in payment for goods purchased in his store. This is a generous offer, and we are looking forward to some reciprocal arrangement between the Commonwealth and the Dominion, that will be of mutual benefit to Aussie and New Zenland "strangers within tho ; gates."—Yours, etc., r Fy-A.I.F. ! Wellington, May 24th, 1920.
