HELP RETURNED SOLDIERS
“YOUR JOB AND MINE.” PRIME MINISTER’S STATEMENT (Special to “ Chronicle.”) DARGAVILLE, Oct. 19. “I want you to look out every case of a returned soldier who may have suffered as a result of his services at the war, and to do your best to see that he receives the treatment he is entitled to,” said the Prime Minister when unveiling a war memorial. “There are some cases it is difficult for the Government to help. Let know about any case that may not be met in the ordinary way. There are cases of hardship that we may not bo I aware of. It is your job and mine to 'see that these men are cared for. It is ' usual to leave the matter to the Government, but how r can we find out if someone does not let us know? Don’t be discouraged if you do not get immediate satisfaction. Keep at it, even if you do find some difficulties with Departmental officers or others, and if the worst comes to the worst sec me and I will do all I can. I have not got control of the funds for these purposes—they are all in the hands of boards—but so far as I am able I am only too willing to help in seeing that everything possible is done to give the returned men some measure of satisfaction.
