RUMANIAN OIL
EXPORT FIGURES FOR WARi PERIOD Figures showing that Rumanian oil exports are by no means so favourable to Germany as supei (icial observers have supposed are given by a semi-official journal of the Rumanian petroleum industry. The total exports of mineral oil, including bunker sales, amounted in 1939 to 4,178,000 metric tons, against 4495,000 tons in IS3B, a decline of 7 per cent. As in previous years, Germany, including Czechoslovakia Avas the principal buyer, taking 1,255,00(; tons, compared with 990,000 tons in 1938, bringing the German share to 30 per cent of the total Rumanian oil exports, compared Avith 22 per cent in 1938. But the expansion of supplies to Germany took place in the first 8 months of the year, and the Avar months have actually witnessed a decline, of 30,000 tons, compared with the corresponding period in 1938. This decline is. of course, largely attributable' to the Allied blockade.
