New anti-profiteering defense regulations were issued here yesterday by the Palestine Government with a view of checking speculation in a large group of commodities.
The regulations provide that no commodity needed by the public or for the efficient prosecution of the war can be sold at a price exceeding “reasonable profit” as compared with pre-war prices. The population is invited to cooperate by notifying the authorities of any case of profiteering.
Reports reaching here today from Cairo state that an arrangement has been reached between the military leaders of the United States, England, Poland and Soviet Russia whereby Polish troops now trained in Russia will be sent to Palestine and Syria to replace the Australian troops. One report states that 50,000 Polish soldiers and officers equipped with American arms are already on their way from Soviet Russia to Iran, Syria and Palestine.
