Defence Expenditure.
COMMISSION or INQUIRY TO BE SET UP SOON. The commission which is to be set up to investigate the expenditure of the Defence Department in connection with the war will shortly be appointed. Probably the appointment of the members
of tlie commission would liavc been made ore this, but for the past ten days tlio Minister of Defence has been absent from Wellington. As soon as it is possible to arrange for a full meeting of Cabinet the matter will probably be dealt with. It is understood that three commissioners are to be appointed —a chairman and two others. Two names that have been mentioned as those of likely appointees have been those of Mr Peter Barr, of Dunedin, and Mr A. S. Biss, of Wellington, both accountants and auditors of standing in their profession.
