URGES DEPENDENT PARENTS' SUPPORT Canadian Legion Seeks Aid for Helpless Parents Who Lost Sons (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, March 6.--While there has been considerable discussion in par- liament as to the question of pensions for war veterans and widows, one of the other classes for which the Ca- nadian Legion is seeking redress in its legislative programme to be pre- sented to parliament, is that of de- pendent parents, This class consists of parents of members of the Can- adian forces who were killed on ac- tive service, or who died as a result of service disabilities, leaving tem in a dependent condition, The first suggestion the Legion makes in reference to this class has reference to the production of evi- dence to show that he had lived, the deceased member of the forces would have contributed to the maintenance of his parents. This clause has prov- en a stumbling-block to some deser- ving and needy cases, because of the difficulty of proving that a deceased soldier would have maintained his parents had he lived. In order to re- medy this, the Legion is asking for the amendment of the pension act, to provide that a pension may be granted to parents ip this class un- less the commission obtains or has produced to its 'substantial evidence or estrangement, or of definite intent to withhold support. In this request for remedical legis- | lation, the Legion is placing some re- liance on the. statues of both On- tario and Quebec, which make it compulsory for sons of parents ir needy circumstances to contribute to their support. Since there is, in these provinces, at least, a legal obli- gation compelling support, the Le- gion claims this should be recognized, in principle, in the legislation govern- ing pensions for the vindicent parents or deceased members of the Cana- dian forces.
