SOLDIER AS MINISTER.
MR. MINE'S APPOINTMENT.
ASSOCIATION'S SATISFACTION
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
WELLINGTON, Tuesday.
At a meeting of the executive of the sub-committee of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association, it was resolved that the association should congratulate Major J. B. Hine on hie elevation to Cabinet rank, and the Prime Minister, Mr. W. F. Massey, on his action in appointing a returned soldier as one of his colleagues in the Government. In doing so the association—a strictly non-party organisation—wishes to make it clear that its action would have been the same if Sir Joseph Ward or any other political leader had been Hie Excellency's chief adviser, and had appointed a. returned soldier to Ministerial rank.
