Sir Paul Chater has said he will give $50,000 to the ex-servicemen of the Colony. He's giving his own money and he has named the object of his gift. Then, Sir, what possible right have the new papers to comment as they have done and use it as a base for a war of words. Don't you think it shows not only bad taste but both impertinence and impudence! If Sir Pani wants to give his money to ex servicemen he has a right to do it without being told that it should go to a Nursing Home or some other institution.
