Drummond, a member of the new executive of the Christchurch Returned Soldiers’ Association, began his comment on the bal-ance-sheet of the association at the annual meeting of members. “I do not believe that the association was ever meant to act as a charliable aid board. I say it is a scandal that our subscriptions do not equal olir salaries. They should at least be equal, or we are a bankrupt organisation." Mr. Drummond, in spite of Interjections, finished his statement: “I say that there are hundreds of men receiving assistance who would have been on charitable aid if there bad never been a war,”
