SURPLUS FUNDS
WAR TIME COLLECTIONS PART DISTRIBUTION SUGGESTED. [Per tress Association.] AUCKLAND, April '29. At the annual meeting of the Auckland Returned Soldiers’ Association it was decided to send a remit to the annual conference that the War Council Funds Board and the Canteen Board should distribute in the form of relief among ex-soldiers 'portions of the interest, the money to come preferably out of the War Council funds. Mr S. A. Carr said that each board had about £200,000 to its credit. If the funds nursed for the next 20 years half of the men would be dead. Mr Jorgensen said that the wishes of the doners were being defeated. The funds were given with the primary view of helping returned men. Mr Carr: “I agree, but you have to tell that to the Minister, two or three Judges, and several lawyers in Wellington.”
