OIL FOR U-BOATS
DENIAL IN DUBLIN
LONDON, October 13,
It is authoritatively stated in Dublin that the statement by Mr. James Little yesterday was entirely without foundation. It is stated that petrol can be obtained in Eire only by coupons, and that a transport system would be necessary if petrol were conveyed in large quantities to any part of Ireland.
Mr. James Little, member of Parliament for County Down, at a meeting in Belfast, said that when the Eire Government was asked about supplying petrol to U-boats its reply was "that it had no knowledge of the matiter." "That was putting the glass to the blind eye with a vengeance," said Mr. Little. "Here we had a British Dominion selling its petrol and oil to -enable German submarines to sink British. shii?s."
