Speaking at Horowlionua mi Friday, the Hon 11. F. Bollard relorred to the way in which returned soldiers had met their obligations to the Government. Many people, be said, bad been under the impression that much of the repatriation money would never he repaid. Those who had held that opinion were very wide of the mark, for out of £2.000,000 more than 71 per cent, had lieen repaid. That was a splendid record. (Applause). There were, said Mr Bollard, some who had either not l**on in a position to repay their loans, or who had neglected to do so, but I am glad to say that they, especially the latter, are in the minority. This is a fine testimony to the honesty of New Zealanders.
