An assurance that there would be no unfaii’ competition between army trucks used for harvesting and the country’s regular carriers was given yesterday by the Minister of Transport; Mr O’Brien. He said that arrangements had been made with the army authorities that army vehicles would not be made available for use on farms or for carting produce to a railway station, store or ship except where the approval of the appropriate transport licensing authority had been obtained and where ordinary carriers were not available. “It was never intended,” added the Minister, “that army trucks should do work which could be done by the regular carriers.”
