THE CANADIAN RIOT.
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT. FURTHER DISTURBANCES UNLIKELY. London, Max -'i 8. The Ministry of Overseas Military Forces has issued an official statement regretting the Kinmel Park incident, particularly in view of the splendid discipline record of the Canadians in the war period. The department explains that the park had been a concentration area since the armistice, where troops were sorted into drafts according to their destination in Canada. The failure of the Ministry of Shipping to furnish sufficient ships to carry out the February programme caused great disappointment, and this was chiefly responsible for the disturbances. The Chief of the General Staff addressed the men at fifteen different places, and there are unlikely., to be further disturbances. There were 15,000 of all ranks in camp. Many offenders were arrested, including 12 civilians. Three rioters and also two men on picket duty were killed and 21, including two cfjcers, wounded.—Aua.-N.Z. Cable Assn. «f
