Army Is investigating Sale
OF Gift Smokes for yanks
BY tn. Associated Press

BY tn. Associated Press.
Army officials, disturbed by news
that American soldiers at an Army
camp in Egypt were required to pay
% cents a pack for cigarettes sent
by Smokes for Yanks" for free
distribution, said today an investiga-
ton was being made.
Lacking an official report, they
suggested, meanwhile, that the ex-
PLANTATION perhaps was that through
a shipping mixup the free cigarettes
somehow were delivered to the wrong
destination, while others intended
for sale were now being distributed
free at another point.
The packing cases in which the
packages or cartons were placed for
overseas shipment may not have had
distinguishing marks, it was said, or
If such markings were placed on
them at the time of shipment, they
could have been obliterated by the
time they reached Egypt.
Similar occurrences in the first
World War, it was said, led to
stories that some organizations were
@chiseling" by charging for cigarettes
intended for free distribution, and
the charges persisted despite in
vestigations which disclosed the
trouble arose from misdirected ship
ments.

Ontario Fights Monopoly
In War Goods Truckinq
B, ttt Associated Press.


TORONTO, Aug. 26. = Ontario
Highways Minister T. B. McQuesten
said yesterday that applications
from individual United States
truckers who proposed to carry wal
goods in bond across Southern
Ontario would be welcomed by his
department, which would oppose any
"monopolistic operation"
Mr. McQuesten's statement was
given after he had been informed
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington the commits
sion had granted an order for
international Highway Forwarders
Limited. Toronto, to operate the
trans-Ontario trucking service. Be-
fore the company can operate, it
must oatain additional approval
from the Ontario and Dominion
governments.
The highways minister said the
Ontario government will oppose
strenuously any form of "monopolis-
tic operation" as suggested in the
formation OF an operating company
under the name of international
Highway Forwarders.
I'VE intend making strong rep
resentations to Ottawa that this
application Of Highway Forwarders
be rejected" he declared.
