SECOND DIVISION
. A PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT. __ WELLINGTON, this day. Referring to the official statement regarding the proposed future pensions and allowances for soldiers and their dependents, Mr. Armstrong, President of the National Federation of Second Division Leagues, said the figures quoted were very bald, but taken on their face value they showed an inadequacy that fully justified the anxiety of members of the league throughout the Dominion regarding the Ministerial attitude towards the Leagues proposals. It was impossible to deal with details, because adjustments would alter cases. Adjustments, however, could not alter the fact that the totals indicated that the provisions proposed must be hopelessly inadequate. It was sincerely to be hoped that a result of last night’s conference the Government would reconsider the whole matter.
