RETURNED SOLDIERS' HEALTH

SHOULD BE'.THE BUSINESS OF ONE DEPARTMENT. By Teiejjraph— Prena Association. Auckland, April 23. In tile course of a reply to a dopiitafrom the Soldiers' Mothers' League this morning" : the' Acting-Minister .of- Finance remarked thfit it was only a question of time when the whole t.afk of looking after returned soldiers' health must be left in the hands of one Jiijist'er. "It appears to me," said Air. Myers, .■'■ that it is a matter that requires Iho undivided attention of one Department. It has been thought desirable up to the present time to nllow the Defence, Department to talti charge up to a certain point, but it is finite evident to my mind that in the near future there must be only one Department whose business it is to look after.the health of soldiers."
