FIGHT CYLINDER AUTOMOBILES

This year's Touring Car offers many refine- ments which should make even more popular this widely favored family automobile.

Simplicity and ease of operation make it the ideal car to drive, and its extreme economy of fuel, oil and tires, is only another proof of high engine efficiency.

The Secretary of State's action was de fended on the ground that, having ili view the doubts which Americs might have with regard to the termination of war (the armisties being imminent) they would be all the more ready to part with their angines. On the whole the transaction was | highly irregular, but the committee do not recommend that further action should be taken with regard to ite *Among other items mentioned are an ex-- penditure of £23.564 on the production of film showing scenes that might have occurred if the country) Fad been invaded.

In one case the Foreign Office approved a refund of £80,000 to the Egyptian Goy- erament. There was a derieal error, and the true figures should have been £6,000.

The committee refer to instances in which departmental officials allot contracts to themselves and the firms in which they are interested and suggest that the Treasury should issue an instruction on the subject to prevent scandals.

It is expected that the loss on the motor tractor ploughing scheme of the Food Production Department will be.£3,000,000, and on the horse-ploughing schema £1,000:000.
