PENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS.
PROTESTS BY R.S.A. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Wellington, Nov. 13. The executive of the Returned Soldiers' Association of New Zealand passed resolutions expressing strong condemnation of the way the pensions legislation was dealt with this session. It contends that the legislation was kept back till the dying hours of the session and forced through without adequate consideration. It contrasts the time devoted to racing permits with a few hours given to pensions. The executive protests 'against the inadequacy of the sum granted, and expresses keen disappointment that no attempt was made to meet the circumstances of partially disabled men, and calls on the Government to prepare a comprehensive scheme of pensions legislation and circulate it before the next session.
