petroleum council has been visiting
Scotland during the last few days,
attending the formal inauguration of
a pipe line laid across Scotland along

hour and is the longest in Europe, is
to avert the necessity OF tank steam
ers going around Scotland to the
east coast and thus to diminish the
loss of tank steamers by submarine
attacks.
Construction was begun in March
and completed November II. Rear
