SECOND DIVISION LEAGUE
At a meeting o£ 'ho National Executive of the Second Division League, held last night, an emphatic protest was entered against the erroneous statement mads in Parliament, to tho effect that the league had asked for the British scale of pensions for disabled soldiers. A resolution embodying the following was carried unanimously—"The league demands are based on the principle of that portion of the British warrant dealing with disabled soldiers with an additional fifty per cent, on the rates em. bodied therein to meet the different economic conditions as between Great Britain and New Zealand in normal times, 'fhe leaguo further emphasises the point that all pensions shall be by right, as in the British pensions warrant."
