Says Veterans Protest Return To _ Bettiefronts

‘TORONTO. Jan. 20 —— (GP) —- (Saturday) -— The Globe and Mall in a newspage story today

saiu a number ul general service personnel now in ‘Toronto with iivc- our; service overseas to their credit e “vigorously protesting their expected imminent return to the battiefronts."

The paper said many of the men insisted that if they go overseas again it will be "manaclod ond un- dcr armed guard." They said what they believed to be their re-em- bar tlon medical ex nations were "a joke."

The soldiers were some of the five-year service men pennitted to leave the battlefields before Christmas and returned to Canada for a 80-day leave. They claimed they were "receiving unfair treat- merit."

Twnty-nirle men in one group told the Globe and Mail they thought five years service was c- nough for one man. “especially when there are thousands of fit sol- diers. both drafteee and 0.3 , who have never left Canada."

Major complaint oi the men in- terviewed bv the poorer was they have received no medical examin- ation since 1909 and that "what aliases for a medical today is a o e."

A spokesman at military quarters said: "Proof that our doc- tors do more than sit at a desk a look at a man. comes that the oases of 25 D01‘ 0811f’ 0f Th6
