Canadian Reports Of
Burning Of Supplies

EDMONTON, Alberta, July Z Ca
madam Press. - The Vancouver
British Columbia) Province pub
lished story yesterday in which a
staff reporter said there was whole
sale" destruction by fire of United
States equipment at Dawson Greek,
British Columbia, and prompt de-
mails came from two high American
Army officers here.
Col. Frederick K. Strong, jr., who
heads the Northwest Service Com
mand, United States Army. said the
reports of large scale destruction of
supplies and equipment at the
southern railhead of the Alaska
highway project "are not true. -
Maj. Gen. w. w. Foster, special
commissioner for Northwest defense
projects, also denied the report.
Only Inferior Materiel Destroyed.
The Province story said fires

Greek and added: THE excuse is
that this material, brought into the
country by the United States on
agreement with Canada, cannot be
sold or disposed of for use in the
Dominion. 1t must be returned to
the United States or destroyed"
Col. Strong asserted in his state
ment:
The Canadian government
is being given every opportunity to
absorb such materiel as the United
States Government does not have
an essential need for in the United
States. A board Of officers has
been appointed at Dawson Greek to
examine all materiel being salvaged
and that materiel which, when re-
conditioned, will not meet the United
States Army minimum standards for
salvage materiel, is being destroyed.

If the United States no longer
has any use for immovable equip

year after the war, all United States
immovable equipment goes to the

of movable equipment, the material
is sold to the Dominion government
which, in turn, is making it available
to Canadian contractors for use in

us coming and allowed us to walk

There wasn't anything to do but

There was no spectacular action.

Opening Fire Prevention
Week, Gov. Tells Of
Lives Lost In '43

Broadcasting an address over Sta
ton WFBR to open Fire Prevention
Week, Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
cited the loss of 10000 lives and
100000 in property during
1943, adding:
Here in Maryland we can take
satisfaction in the fact that, despite
the increase nationally in fire losses,
our loss from this cause was less in
1943 than in 1912, and all indication
point to further substantial reduc-:
ton this year. This we have been able
to do in spite of greatly increased
war production, the loss of one-third
of our fire fighting forces to the Arm
ed Services, and curtailed equipment.
This fine record must not, however,
cause us to relax in any way in our
efforts, but should rather inspire us
to redouble our precautionary mea-
sures."
