Some people, he said, have wondered why the conference was held so soon after the conference of the Returned Services’ Association. “After all.” he said, “this war was fouglx’ by the Kiwis, and it is unfortunate that at. the conference lust held it was not the voice of the Kiwi whi<’. was heard. We are gathered to discuss matters which vitally concern us.
