Mr. Young said the matter was occupying the attention of the board at present. Suggestions had been made concerning a Christmas box, and the board was endeavouring to treat the men as generously as it could. Messrs. W. E. Parry (Labour. Auckland Central) and F. Jones (Labour, Dunedin South) inquired as to what transport . arrangements would be made for men in camps at Christmas. The Minister replied that this question was the subject of inquiry by the board.
