Soldiers' League Denounces Homes Policy At Congress
At the Returned Soldiers League Congress many speakers denounced the service homes deal and urged appointment of an independent inquiry committee. The league called for a vigorous policy to help purchasers retain their homes amid the precarious position of most buyers. H W Taylor of Bankstown criticized the scheme as hastily conceived after the war and poorly managed, calling it a "happy hunting-ground." He cited the Commission's report showing the Commonwealth profit of £120,000 and diggers' loss of £6,000,000, noting war service homes are worth only about half their cost to soldiers.
