OVERSEAS CANTEENS
Report On N.Z. Control
A report on investigations into complaints of returned soldiers regarding canteens overseas was presented to a recent meeting .of the Dominion executive committee of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association. It appeared from the report that the difficulties about the supply of New Zealand tobacco and reasonable prices were mainly the result of lack ot transport facilities and the excise duty payable to tlx 1 Egyptian Government.
Regarding the suggestion that canteens should be run by New Zealand for New Zealand troops, the report indicated that the difficulties surrounding the maintenance of stocks and catering for the various units, which were often widely separated, were too great to warrant further consideration. Furthermore, it had been ascertained that the leaders of the 2nd N.Z.E.F. on active service were opposed to the taking over control of canteens.
