Italians

By Max Havrelson Associated Press Staff Writer ATHENS. Greece. Dec. 6 —-F'.i'i'~ day) —(AP) — Large fire: in Por- to Edda and Argtmcastro were re- ported today as the Greek army pressed into the outskirts of those two key Italian military bases in southern Albania.

It was ed lien that the Italians, who have been reported abandoning the towns, had fired all stores and materials they were unable to cart away.

Firing of the two cities. Greeks said, was designed to avert their troops from adding to an estimat- ed $8,900,000 worth of war mater- ials already seized from retreating Italians.

More than 500 machine guns were said to be among the prizes.

A general headquarters communi- que reported general progress over the entire Albanian front, "especial- ly in the central and southern sec- tors despite strong reaction from enemy aviation."

what the people wanted was action and not speeches. particularly speeches which had no relation t0 the war effort.

During the discussi on proced- urc Mr. King said that 1f the house were to continue to sit from Mon- day through Friday as it always had, some re-arrangement of duties would be necessary to free cabinet ministers for their pressing war du- Lies.

Percy Black (Con. Cumberland) said he feared that the removal of tariff on British bituminous coal would take away a market in east- ern Canada which for years has been enjoyed by Nova Scotia mines.

Reviewing the cool subventions policy of the Dominion Government. he said siibventicns had been paid entirely by the proceeds from ad- ditional duties on imported coal. In a 10-year period subventions on both eastern and western eoal a- mounted to slightly more than $21,- 000,000 while proceeds from addit- ional duties amounted to more than $24000,00i0 in the some period.

Because Nova Scotla was nearer the scene of actual war, there was more uneasiness about Conrad's war effort there, he said.

Only recently he had met. on a Nova Swtia highway a soldier of the active amiv without a great coat, although there was six inches of snow on the ground and the tem- perature was near zero. This sold- ier told him. he said, that 200 men in his unit had not been issued greatcotits.
