It has also been the aim of the Feeds Administrator to see that the farmers received full benefits from the policies by close checking to make sure that manufacturers and dealers carried out their obligations in passing the benefits to the farmers in the pric- es Which were charged. Feeds on which the Dominion Gov- ernment is now paying freight to East- ern Canada distribution points include the following grains, whole or ground; Western wheat, oats, barley, rye, No, 1 feed screenings, and No. 2 feed screen- ings, and also bran shorts, and mid- dlings derived from the milling of Western wheat.

American cities, As highly organized • as the old-titne rurn-ranning racket- eers, the modern rubber robbers use what is termed "the repair truck rou- tine". The repair truck crew, attend- ing its authentic business as far as the casual passers-by can tell, boldly driv- es up to .a parked car, jacks it up as though about to make repairs, removes the valuable tires and then drives off. Tim car is left on its tireless rims for the owner to find and weep over. The fact that the tires may be insured pro- vides no comfort, for their cash value, no matter hove great, cannot be used to purchase a set of new tires, "No tire thefts have occurred in Wiugham the Advance-Times was told by a Police official." "tat we are going to crack down severely in all . Instances where thefts Occur to dis- courage any such practices.

It was Col. Drew's crit- icsin of this report following the com- mission investigation of sending the Canadian expedition to Hong Kong last year that precipitated the charge. Col. Drew later said, "There can be no doubt that the members of Parlia- ment will now insist upon the full dis- closure of all the facts. I am prepared to assist them by furnishing informa- tion which will support in every de- 'tail the admittedly strong criticsm I made of the Hong Kong report: Yugoslav King Visited Ottawa Ottawa, — King Peter of Yugoslav- ia said here that the Yugoslav army, waging guerrilla warfare in the hills of his homeland, 'will go on fighting "as long as it can—as long as it has something to fight for."

Gardiner, Dominion Min- ister of Agriculture, says that the de- cision of the Government to continue indefinitely its policy of paying freight on feed grains shipped east from Port Arthur and Fort Williams, and west froin Edmonton and Calgary to Brit- ish Columbia, is evidently being well received by farmers, Under the 1941 arrangement, the policies would have normally expired on July 1, 1942, but now it indefinite continuance will further enable farm- ers profitably to maintain and increase the food products urgently required 'and also to plan in advance their live stock and poultry breeding and feed- ing operations in a contsructive man- ner. During last winter and spring, through the reduced frieght rates with virtually no freight charges east of Fort William and Port Arthur farmers received benefits equivalent to several millions of dollars spent on freight assistance.
