WAR FUNDS
QUESTION OF ECONOMY IN ADMINISTRATION EXTENDED INVESTIGATION. STATEMENT BY MINISTER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A, suggestion made last year that the cost of administering the New Zealand relief funds of the Great War be investigated with a view to economies being effected was mentioned at the annual meeting of the War Funds Council today. The Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) who attended the meeting, said much headway had been made in investigation as a result of the plans laid down by a special committee appointed for the purpose. The theme of the investigation had been embodied in a questionnaire submitted to the various patriotic societies and kindred organisations dispensing war relief funds. The information was now being collated for the consideration of |he committee, which had been set up as a result of frequent‘suggestions that there should be an alteration in the system governing the distribution in relation to administration. No reflection in any way was meant to be conveyed on the work performed by the War Funds Council, which had rendered splendid service.
