TO SETTLE DISPUTE.
(Per Press Association—Copyright),
CHRISTCHURCH, May 3
A suggestion that the Returned Soldiers’ Organisation in New Zealand and Australia should take a hand in trying to bring about a settlement of the dispute between the Dominion and Commonwealth regarding-potatoes and oranges, was made by Mr W. E. Leadley, president of the Christchurch Returned Soldiers’ Association, at the annual reunion of the Australian Imperial Forces’ Association on Saturday evening. Year by years this dispute drags on and the people of both countries are suffering in consequence,' he said.
“To my mind the time has arrived when An zees in New . Zealand and Australia should make a determined effort to end this dispute, and I suggest the New Zealand Rreturned Soldiers’ Conference and conference of returned soldiers and sailors’ imperial league of Australia should both pass resolutions strongly urging their respective governments to settle this dispute at.tno earliest possible moment, as it is notshared by people, and is contrary to the spirit of Anzac,” he said.
