MINISTER AND LEAGUE
G!R J. ALLEN'S HAPPY RETORT. (Special to Times.) \\ ELLIN(iTON, Wednesday. Sir .hunt's Allen has not always been • •ntiivly happy in his retorts to the pinpricks of [lie Second Division League, nor entirely generous iii his estimate of the excellent work done by this persistent organisation, but in his comment upon the League's claim to have wrung from him all the concessions that have been made to the soldier and his dependents he leaves little to be desired. "This assumption," he says, "altogether eliminates members of Parliament, Ministers of the Crown, the Press, War Relief Associations, Returned Soldiers' Association, the National Efficiency Hoard, the heads of the Defence Department, and the large army of patriotic citizens throughout til© Dominion who are continually suggesting improvements for the lvenefit of our soldiers and their dependents." For onee, at any rate, the laugh remains on the side of the Minister, and, what is of more consequence, the solid of truth.
