WAR RELIEF FUNDS
PLEA TO GOVERNOR-GENERAL. . By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, May 1. The administration of war funds by the Auckland Patriotic and War Relief Association and a joint committee of the British Red Cross and Order of St. John was the subject of considerable criticism at the annual meeting of the Auckland R.S.A. meeting. / It was decided to send a memorial to the Governor-General asking that the committee and secretary of the Patriotic ■Association be removed and the committee be reconstructed with adequate representation of returned soldiers; failing this, that a public inquiry be held into the administration of the funds. The discussion arose out of a motion strongly disapproving of the refusal of the Auckland centre of the joint committee to grant money for the provision of comforts for returned soldiers in mental hospitals. -r. r 1
