TO ALL R.S. ASSOCIATIONS.

Reciproeity with overseas branches of the Returned Soldiers' Association. Quite recently the Returned Soldiers of W7estern Samoa formed themselves into the "Returned Soldiers' Association of Western Samoa." As this Association is not numerically strong enough to become affili. ated to the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association, it has asked for reciproeity between the New- Zealand Seturned Soldiers' Association and itself. At the last meeting of the Standing Sub-Commit. tee of the Dominion Executive, held oa September 7th, it was decided : — (a). That reciproeity be established between the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association and the Western Samoan Association and that each pledge itself to help the other if such help is not counter to the general policy of either Association. (b). That financial members of bEe one Association can transfer to the other without payment of a further subscription for the year for which they are paid up, such memher however, to produce evidence of payment. Arrangements like the ahove tTave been made with the Fijian and Australiaa Association®.
