WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-(ff)-The
federal trade commission an
nounced Tuesday the Columbia
River Packers Association, Inc., of
Astoria, Ore., which packs, cans
and distributes Salmon,' shad and
other sea food products, has been
charged with violating the brokerage-section
or the Robinson-Pat-man
act. - -
The commission said the associa
tion sells through intermediaries
who are paid commissions of 2
per cent of the net purchase price,
and directly to other buyers who
are paid, directly or indirectly,
commissions of 5 per cent
The commission said the associa
tion has sold its products to buyers
m various states since 1836, paying
them commissions or similar fees,
or allowing them discounts. This
is in violation of the law, it added,
since the products ultimately- are
marketed under buyers' or sellers'
labels.
The association was given 20
days in which to answer the com
plaint - - . .

"The purpose of this program
is to permit every citizen retail

derstanding and observing the
price and rationing regulations
which this war has forced upon
us.
. "This is not a program of the

is a people's program in which ev-1
ery thinking citizen can cooper
ate. ; All of us should remember
that in a democracy it is not the
government which must fight'
black ' markets ' or rising living
costs. It must be the people, for
they and they alone, have the
power to protect themselves from
the inroads of the black marketeer
and the chiseler ... .
During each local camrjaisn the
following eight-point program will
be stressed on the proper use of
ration stamps: i ;
.1. Do not attempt to make pur

Jap Threat
Said Removed
From Coast
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 24
(CP) - Maj.-Gen. G. R. Fearkes,
general officer commanding-in-chief.
Pacific 'command, following
his return from Kiska, said Tues
day that results accruing from the
taking of the last Aleutian Japa
nese strongholds removed in very
large part the threat . which had
existed against the Pacific coast
At a press conference, Gen.
Pearkes said that the operation
was completed with , virtually no
loss of personnel and consider
ably ahead of scheduled time.
The enemy had been forced to
vacate - the island. This was
achieved by cutting his communi
cation lines with the - seizure of
Attu; by sustained bombardment
from: air and sea; and the assem
bling of a force powerful enough
to ensure his destruction had he
remained.'
- "The Kiska operation,", said
Gen. Pearkes,; "proved that " Ca
nadian and American troops can
operate fside ;by side in the Pa
cific and have the greatest con
fidence, one in the other, and"
hold each other in the ' highest
regard. - "
. The Americans had been highly
impressed by the Canadian sol
diers, particularly their willing
ness to tackle any -job and their
fearlessness in carrying out their
duties. Handling barges in icy
water, they had displayed a ' high
standard of efficiency and. speed.
"And it must be remembered that
they were expecting to go into
action, to meet the enemy at any
time." t
Unopposed seizure of Kiska had
debunked the legend ; that every
Japanese . was a superman and
would fight to the last They had
simply quit s ; . -"
Some may have got back to Ja
pan from Kiska and some - may
have been caught'. Those return
ing took with them a story of de
feat and, abandonment of a great
deal of materiel; of ships in Kiska
harbor; of an enormous pile of
ruined Japanese aircraft and sub-'
marines destroyed at their base. '
"The story of such a defeat may
be of greater value' to the allied
cause than several thousand dead
Japanese on Kiska had the enemy
elected to stand and fight"
Opening of the northern route
to Japan would , be most useful
when the right time came. It was
the shortest route and led to the
very heart of the Japanese em
pire.
' The Regiment de Hull from
Quebec had caught the fancy of
Canadians . and Americans alike
with their boyish cheerfulness and
singing. The Americans quickly
adopted the song "Allouette.
