(Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, August 3 0
At a meeting of the National Executive of the Second Division League, an emphatic protest was entered against the erroneous statement made in Parliament to the effect that tbe 'League had asked for the British scale of pensions for disabled soldiers. The League's demands are based on the principle that portion of the British warrant dealing with disabled soldiers with the additional 50 per cent on rates embodied therein to meet the different economic conditions as between Great Britain and New Zealand in normal times. The League further emphasises the point that all pensions shall be by right, as in the British pensions warrant.
