NOTICE.

When Government recently issued an order imposing restrictions on road traffic, the rebels attempted, by threatening any one who applied for the necessary travel permit and identity card, to force Government to rescind that order. Need• less to say, the attempt failed.

The rebels have now withdrawn their threats against the drivers of motor vehicles engaged in transporting citrus. It is not for them to decide what classes of vehicle may or may not be permitted. Such a decision rests with Government alone.

Accordingly, I give notice that, until the rebels withdraw their threats against all forms of traffic, I shall not issue any new travel permits or renew any travel permits which have expired. In other words, the right to apply for permits must be given to all or to none.

As I do not intend at present to issue any permits to the drivers of private cars, taxis or omnibuses, this warning means in practice that no travel permits will be issued or renewed until a sufficient number of applications has been received, from all classes of commercial motor vehicles.
