WET CANTEENS
IN ALL AUSTRALIAN ARMY CAMPS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECISION. NO FUNCTIONS ON ANZAC DAY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) , (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) CANBERRA, This Day. Commonwealth legislation is to be introduced to exempt members of the American forces and other Allied fighting forces serving in Australia from payment of Federal income tax. Wet canteens, formerly restricted to A.I.F. camps, are to be established in all Australian Army camps. The Commonwealth Government made this decision following upon a meeting of the War Advisory Council at which recommendations from a Military Board were considered. The Federal Premier (Mr Curtin) announced that there would be no marches or other returned soldier functions this Anzac Day. Hotels would be closed throughout the Commonwealth and there would be no race meetings or organised sport. Work will go on in essential war industries.
