The Dominion executive oi tne New Zealand Returned Services Association decided at a recent meeting to ask the War Pensions Department to explain how the 5 per cent. < ost oi living bonus is to be made available to economic pensioners, war veterans, and dependents of members in the fighting forces. The executive is seeking a clarification of whether the increase will be payable on all pension income or only on economic pensions. s The association has been advised by the Minister of Housing, Hen. H. ’i. Armstrong, that the 25 per cent, preference for State houses in favour of servicemen includes men returned from overseas for home defem e or ■ military duties, widows of servicemen. and wives of prisoners of war. The association has decided to ask for increasing preference for servicemen 3 until it, reaches 100 per cent, after the war and also that those serving in ■ New Zealand should be included as s preferential treatment, grows. ) =—-= RESERVE BANK REPORT.
