PRIVATE MOTORING
VIRTUALLY AT STANDSTILL IN PORTUGAL GENERAL FUEL SHORTAGE. DOMESTIC HEATING NO LONGER
POSSIBLE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) LISBON, February 17. New petrol restrictions have virtually brought to a standstill private motoring in Portugal. Portuguese economy was based on the assumption that supplies will be maintained from abroad and no serious attempt at storage was ever made. Now that the seas are being emptied of merchant traffic, Portugal is finding increasing difficulty in maintaining her economic life, apart from colonial food supplies. Fuel is the most immediate problem and already a number of industrial enterprises have closed for lack of fuel. The railways are running skeleton services and domestic heating is no longer possible.
