Committees to Meet—Need for Early Action
A LIST of War Damage Compensation Committees to deal with Territories claims, and the dates of meetings, will be found on page 37. There are about 2,000 separate claims to be con sidered.
It should be noted that only a small proportion of these claims can hope to succeed while the Australian Govern ment’s present definition of war damage stands.
Territorians should lose no time in urging upon the Commonwealth Gov ernment the need for widening the inter pretation of “war damage,” before these committees settle down seriously to the job of investigating and passing sentence upon the individual claims for compen sation.
