RETURNED SOLDIERS’ ASSOCIATION
* A REPORT REPUDIATED. The attention of the Executive Standing Sub-Committee has been drawn to the remarks of Mr. A’. H. Potter, M.P.,1 in Parliament, regarding Returned Soldiers’ Association secretaries, as published, in the Press on October 7. The subcommittee decided: “If the reports are accurate, this sub-committee emphatically repudiates the insulting inferences made by Mr. V. H. Potter, M.P., io the Returned Soldiers’ Association secretaries, and states that they are entirely unjustified and contrary to fact. Mr. Potter’s remarks defame tho character of the secretaries, and are unworthy of a man who was one'e a- soldier. On 1/'-lial-f of the secretaries, the sub-commit-tee asks Mr. Potter for an ample apology, and if he declines to give tins, tho su'b-cominittce requests Mr. Potter to come, into the open and to state how many paid officials are employed in Returned Soldiers’ Associations compared with the number Who gave their time voluntarily to the work, end name which of‘these officials aro 'paid agitators’."
