CANTEEN FUNDS.
DISTRIBUTION OF INTEREST. AN AUCKLAND REMIT. (Peb United Peess Association.) AUCKLAND, April 29. The annual meeting of the Auckland Returned Soldiers’ Association decided to send a remit to the annual conference in Wellington that the War Council Fund* Board and the Canteen Board should distribute in the form of relief among exsoldiers portions of the interest, the money to come preferably out of the War Council funds. Mr S. A. Carr said each board had about £200,000 to its credit. If the funds were nursed for the next 20 years half of the men would be dead. Mr Jorgensen said the wishes of the donors were being defeated. The funds were given with the primary view of helping returned men. Mr Carr: “I agree, but you have to tell that to the Minister, two or three judges, and several lawyers in Wellington.”
