Parry) the Sydney branch of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association congratulated the Dominion Parliament on the benefits provided by its new pensions enactments. , , A deputation discussed several phases of pensions reciprocity between New Zealand and Australia, expressing the hope that success would result from Mr Parry’s forthcoming conference with the Commonwealth Government.
