WET CANTEENS
THE MILITARY CAMPS PROVISION PREDICTED CONTROL BY GOVERNMENT "We have every reason to anticipate that wet canteens will be established.in the camps," said Mr. J. W. Kendall, president of the Auckland Returned Soldiers' Association, when the subject was raised at the quarterly meeting last night.. "They will be staffed by returned soldiers, but will be controlled by the Government," he added. A member asked if the association had been given any intimation as to where the profits from the canteens would go. Mr. Kendall said it was definite that the profits from both the wet and dry canteens would be put into a pool forthe benefit of the men. It was suggested that instead of the money being put into a pool for future benefits the men should be given goods from the canteens at cost price to compensate them for their lower wages. The president assured members that the men would be able to buy goods cheaper in the canteens than outside.
