BEING PUSHED ON
RAILWAY FROM EGYPT INTO LIBYA COMMUNICATIONS GENERALLY IMPROVED. INCREASED FLOW OF.SUPPLIES TO RUSSIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, March 6. Mr Oliver Lyttelton, Minister of Production, who has returned from the Middle East, said at a Press conference that a railway supplying the British forces in Libya was being pushed onwards. Communications generally were being improved. Economic measures would bear fruit after the next harvest, which should make the Middle East as a whole substantially self-sup-porting, thus relieving the burden on shipping. The American naval base in Eritrea was not yet large but it was going to be a “whacker.” The carrying capacity of the trans-Pcrsian lailway for supplying Russia had already been trebled, but had not reached its maximum.
