CABLES TO SOLDIERS
ATTITUDE OF INDIFFERENCE. ALLEGED AGAINST POST OFFICE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, March 14. Many parents of soldiers serving overseas will be surprised to learn of the attitude of indifference regarding the fate of cablegrams to soldiers which has 1 been taken up by the Director-General of the Post and Telegraph Department, Mr. J. G. Young. An Auckland parent who has had occasion to make inquiries has received the following reply signed by Mr. Young: With reference to your communication of 7th inst. and previous correspondence in connection with the nondelivery of a cablegram to your son who is serving with the armed forces in the Middle East, I have to inform you that all cablegrams are accepted at the senders’ risk and on the understanding that no inquiries will be made regarding their non-delivery. I might add that specific instructions were received recently from competent authorities that investigation regarding delay or non-delivery of cablegrams was not to be undertaken beyond the Dominion. In the circumstances it is regretted no further action can be taken in the matter.”
