PENSION MATTERS
RETURNED SOLDIERS’ ASSOCIATION. DEPUTATION TO PRIME MINISTER. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, September 12. A deputation from the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association waited on the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes) to-day in connection with pension matters and proceedings were private. The deputation urged the Prime Minister to make provision for “burnt-out” ex-soldiers and also asked that anomalies in pensions for soldiers’ widows should be removed. It also asked that consideration be given to exImperial soldiers who had not made application for a pension within the reouired time and who were now ineligible for a New Zealand pension. The Prime Minister gave the deputation’s requests a sympathetic hearing.
