RETURNED SOLDIERS' REPLY TO Y.M.C.A. , The Dominion executive of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association issued the following statement last night: "Our reply to the National Executive of tho Y.M.C.A. has been delayed pending the publication of their accounts and auditors' report. The accounts, together with tho report of tho London auditors, duly appeared in to-day's "Wellington, papers; but, although there is on one of the New Zealand accounts a qualified' certificate which refers to a separate report, we must of necessity wait for the publication of that particular report before further dealing with the matter. We invite the National Executive of the Y.M.C.A. to publish the missing document without delay. "In continuing our pressure for a commission we wish to emphasise again the two broad issues which we have already made clear, in our public statement ot last week, and previously to the- Minister of Internal Affairs, viz: (1) That we require a Royal Commission tor the purpose of framing recommendations for the ultimate disposal of war . funds S eI J e J" ally; and (2) that we require it finther in order that a proper investigation ot certain matters to which we have diaiwi the Minister's attention without 6atisfacorv results may bo made. "The Y.M.C.A. has represented itself as a body singled out for ail camouflaged under the. broad purposes of a commission. To this we give a most unqualified denial. In pressing for the first object we had hoped that the commission suggested would bo able to dispose of what we, regarded as a minor matter in connection with the second. \ copy of the above statement was delivered by the N.Z.R.S.A. to the National Council of the Y.M.C.A. yesterday afternoon.
