organization of the Rumanial oil
industry means that more oil Is to go
to Germany, officials said today.
This development conceded with
reports here that the Germans are
considering a pipeline through Rus
sian Poland to the Rumanian oil
fields.
Rumania recently created a Ma
tional Oil Control Board with wide
powers. and Britain and France
yesterday warned her that any at
tempt to compel British and French
companies in Rumania to FURNISH
oil to Germany might lead to grave
complications"
The official Rumanian news agen-
Cy in London asserted today that
the creation of the oil control board
was aimed at co-ordinating produce
ton. consumption and export of
oil and should not give reason for
apprehension abroad"
A British spokesman said that
cases have recently been noted in
which the Rumanian government
failed to approve contracts covering
oil bought from Rumanian COM
panies by agencies of the allies,
and had failed to grant export
licenses for such oil.
Britain, said the spokesman. is
concerned and wants to see that
Rumania does not interfere with
normal commercial contracts with
the allies.

companies are foreign owned, with
