TRANSPORT PROBLEM

A COMPREHENSIVE PROPOSAL. LONDON, December 9. Mr Amery has appointed a committee responsible to Hon. Ormsby Gore, consisting of Sirs James McCurrie, Henry Fowler, General F. D. Hammond, and Herbert Diblctt, to study all aspects of transport, benefiting the overseas Empire. The Committee hopes to evolve a large mechanical transport unit, not confined solely to good roads, but capable of increasing the customary load and reducing the ton per mile transport costs.' The Marketing Board and participating Governments will share the expenses. The Board is advancing the entire amount required for the first year. It is proposed ultimately to create an oversea mechanical transport committee, representing Imperial, Dominion, Colonial, Indian and Sudanese Governments.
