CHARGE REFUTED
The fact that an article in The New Zealand Financial Times, alleging that patriotic funds were being used by the Government for the rehabilitation of returned soldiers, had been refuted in a letter to the editor of that publication was mentioned by Mr G. A. Hayden, secretary of the National Patriotic Fund Board, in a letter received at a meeting of the executive of the Southland Provincial Patriotic Council yesterday. The article was referred to at a recent meeting of executive, which decided to bring it to the notice of Mr Hayden. Mr Hayden added that The Financial Times was a monthly paper so that, if the editor did publish the correction, it would be a month before it appeared. He suggested that much of the harm done by the article could be averted if district patriotic committees took steps to inform the public through their local newspapers that no grants would be made from the patriotic fund to relieve the Government of its responsibilities to returned soldiers.
