Nickle stated that the question ot post-war relief for discharged sol- diers and their dependents was oae witlehi had' given the authorities a considerable amount of thought, and it had been decided that the ratriotic Fund was only organization which could handle this work. There is a consideranle surplus of funds in the hands of iis organization, and it can very well be used to give relier, in cases of need, to the depeadents of men Who have served in the Can- adian army or any of (he allied armies, as (he'act provides, The sec tion of the bill which affects the policy of the Patriotic Fund reads as follows: "The objects of the corporation shall be to receive, collect, adminis- ter and distribute the fund for the assistance, in case of need, of the wives, children and dependents, re- sident in Canada, of officers and men who during the war which began on August 4th, 1914, may be, or may have been engaged on active servic with the naval or air forces of His Majesty or His Majesty's allies." This extends the benefits of the fund to the dependents of soldiers after they have been discharged from the service. A new scale of allowances for such cases, and re gulations under which they wiil be made, is being drawn up, and will be discussed at a meeting of the ex- ecutiv® of the fund to be held in Ot- tawa on June 18th and 19th.
