interpreted, of course, as covering
any increases in delivered costs
which might result from increases
in freight rates.

We are, therefore, making this
statement in order to clear the way
for continued development of pro-

sulphur and in order to place our
selves in accord with the Govern

Our decision in this matter has
been reached as a result of an in

which the axis newspapers have
said would soon be launched on all

pire.
The Berlin and Rome press paid

The Rumanian legation in Ber-
