OIL SUPPLIES
DANISH IMPORTS CUT OFF. EFFECT ON NAZI POSITIO N (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. April 11. Regarding the effect on the enemy oil position of tlie German occupation of Denmark, the Petroleum Information Bureau spies that Denmark imported in 1939 about 790,000 tons of oil. The German invasion brings Denmark within the scope of the Allied blockade, with a consequent stoppage of oil imports. When existing Danish, oil stocks are consumed the German oil position, already difficult, will become worse, since appreciable quantities of oil will still be required for normal domestic purposes in Denmark.
