CANTEEN FUNDS.

The Utilisation of the Canteen Funds of the N.Z.E.F. was the subject of a question to the Minister of Defence by Mr T. E, Y. Seddon, M.P., reeently in Parliament. The Hon. Sir R. H. Rhodes replied that the total amount to the credit of vhe N.Z. E.F. Canteen Funds was approximately £70.000. The whole of tbis sum had been paid into the Consolidated Regimental Canteen Fund Aocount, and a portion of it had been invested by the Treasury on behalf of the fund. It was proposed to introduce legislation during the present session authorising the Government to set up a special committee to administer the fund on behalf of ex-members of the N.Z.E.F. Consideration could then be given to the honourablq member's suggestion that the Trentham Scholarship Fund should be supplemented from the Canteen Fund Account.
