A statement had been made in Auckland to the effect that the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Act was unworkable. He held that it was a very good and workable Act, and so far as he could see at present was ali that could be desired. The Board should in every case give soldiers assistance. Mr. Georgetti concurred. He held that all discharged soldiers were entitled to the utmost consideration when applying for land. The Board should not put these men off from time to time, but arrive at a definite understanding in the matter, because as time went on there would bo numerous applications from soldiers returning In increasing numbers from the front unfit for further service. The other members of the Board wore in complete accord with Mr. Oeorgetti, and promised their assistance to all discharged soldiers, seeking land. The Hcv. J.
