RETURNED SOLDIERS’ ASSOCIATION.

UNFOUNDED COMPLAINT AGAINST PRESS. PER mrsa ASSOCIATION. WELLINGTON, Dec. 4. A meeting or the executive of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association decided to protest emphatically against the practice of the press identifying offenders ns returned soldiers wherever possible. The association was of opinion that the references to returned soldiers in connection with offenders was disproportionate to the. instance where returned soldiers figured more connnendably. As an instance it was stated that at a recent law examination in Auckland, at which a hundred candidates presented themselves, Dio returned soldiers headed the list in seven subjects, but this so far as is known, passed without comment by the press.
