RUMANIAN OIL
GERMANY NOT GETTING MUCH COUNTRY FAR FROM BEING PRO-AXIS. ACCORDING TO RETURNED BRITON. ■ Dy Telegrapb.—Press Association—Copyright I 'Received This Dav. 12.25 p.rn.) LONDON. January 8. Mr. 11. G. Austin, who has arrived from Rumania, where for six years he had been installing petroleum equipment. said the position in Rumania was much more favourable than people were led to believe. The impression tint Rumania was pro-Nazi was quite wrong.
Mr. Austin said he was not surprised at the conflicts that had broken out and was sure that acts of sabotage would increase, compelling the Germans to send more troops if they wished to obtain benefit from the resources of Rumania.
Mr. Austin said he had received figures showing that Germany was not getting more than one-fifth of the available oil from Rumania and he doubled whether, with the Danube frozen, she was getting one-tenth. The Rumanian output of refined oil was about five million tons yearly.
