Particular stress was laid on the work of the Service Bureau of the Legion at Ottawa which by conquering seemingly insurmounts able difficulties had induced the Pensions Board to reconsider ana rovise many of its decisions, with the result that,thousands of dol. lars had been paid to war disabled men and their dependents which, but for the Bureau's efforts, would never have left. the Dominion viwne sury, Mr, Hood cited some indi. vidual cases coming under his ove servations as a Loglon official fn the city of Oshawa which were convincing proof: of the effective work accomplish¢d for those who were entitled to and worthy of pensions but were barred by reas son of Pension Board regulations, Convincing too. was the story which told of the, work of tus Legion in goneral, and ity worthy and ambitious plans for the fy- ure, The work of ro-casting and te moulding of the Pensions Act was not finished yet, Mr, Hood remind. ed his comrades. It had heen his privilege to attend many of th sossions of the Parliamentary Committee at Ottawa at which the Leglon's representatives had wsuor cessfully made clear that nations: promises 'made to- the men who fought and died must be fulfilled and he was able to give first band and énlightentng information, He omphasized that the officers of the Lagioh could not carry on Along they must have the active support of avery returned man in Canada.

The committee did pot ar- rogate to Itself the duties of ap appeal court, for t would 'be 8 cruel frace, he ssid, to intimate to returned 'soldiers: that the com mittee could consider cases when, as o moetter of fact, it enjoys no such suthority, This observation |* was inspired by the request from D, B., Plunkett, (Cons, Victoria), who stated that & constituent of his had reached Ottaws and desired to present his grievances 4 the com« mittee, Political Rejection? H.

Roper, M.C,, of Halifax, N.5., sald that the Legien In principal supported the provisions of the power mem- orendum which contemplates a re. vision of the pensions administra tion machinery, It was agreed that the federal appeal board be abolish. od, and that a new pensions court be created, Some minor changes vere suggested in connection with the appointment of soldiers' eoun- se) in each of the territories over which the court bad jurisdiction, Major Roper felt that the principal Judges of the pensions court should select the soldiers' counsel rather than have the soldier make the choles. His objection te the soldiers advisers was that these were only part time men, They wore inadequately staffed and they had not the facilities necessary to prepare their cases, The'concensus of opinion among the service bureau was that the system of soldiers' I advisers was not satisfactory, Respecting the summoning by the court, at its discretion, of medical consultants as assessors in pensions cases, the Legion felt that it should be the duty of the court in all eases, to oall such assessors. Some discussion regarding 'reas. onable doubt" and the intention of giving soldier claimants the benefit of such doubt, centered on whether the court "may" or shall" award a pensions in such cases, It was felt that the value of these words would have to he threshed Qut by the framers of the Lill when It was being prepared, The detalls of the power mem. orandum were not discussed in full committee, and in anticipation that thee may be considered by a sub committee, Lt.
