WAR EXPENDITURE COMMISSION
, THE DELAYED BEPORT. ***** (Special to Times.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. The delay in publishing the report of the War Expenditure Commission is giving rise to a great deal of comment and speculation. The comment is not particularly complimentary to the Defence Department and the speculation varies from the obvious to the highly improbable. The fact that the sittings of the Commission were open to the public and fairly fully reported bv the newspapers, makes it all the more* difficult to understand why the conclusions Sir Bobert Anderson and his colleagues have drawn from the evidence are being withheld. The Commission's judgment on some features of the administration scarcely can be more severe than is that of the public, and on others it is known to be bettor informed and more appreciative. But the stories in circulation, some to the effect that the chairman, who returned to Australia five or six weeks" ago, is being urged to reconsider certain passages in the report, are only what might have been expected in the circumstances.
