That a list be published from timo to time, and some short period ahead of the payments to bo made, in or mora of the Wellington'papers. . This list to contain the full,names and addresses and occupations of those receiving "War Relief Funds," together with the amounts paid, the respectivo religions of the recipients, their- status with regard to New Zealand (native, foreigner, or naturalised), and whether marricd.or single. This m order to see that each individual shall get "a square deal."—l am, etc., . J.R.D. ' Newtown, 'Wellington.-
