Save by Slower Driving
Meanwhile, the Census Bureau
estimated that slower driving would

Nations most acute defense prob
lems," by saving 20 per cent of the
% 1000 ,000, 900 gallons of gasoline con-

In another field Of fuel consump-

of the grave possibility" of a coal

hearing here on June %.
Additional tankers being built and

time Commission, cannot be COM

The 10000 idle railroad tank cars,
1t was said, result from the fact that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-06-15

In recent years the movement Of
fuel oil and gasoline for the con-
sumner trade has gravitated from
railroads to ships, the water haul
being cheaper. According to the
Association of American Railroad
officials, the only oil and its prod
ucts now transported by rail is for
the railroads own use.
The idle tank cars, if put into use
in the current emergency, it was
claimed, could take up the impend-
ing shortage.
Faster by Rail.
The largest of the tank ships, 1t
was pointed out, carries 145,000 AZ
gallon barrels of oil, and many carry
much less. The average trip from
the Gu4 Coast to New York, it was
said, is six days; to Philadelphia,
Boston and aBltimore, seven days,
the extra day being due to the fact
that the vessels have to cover some
distance in pilot waters.
But the average train time from
the oil-producing sectors to the con-
Stunning areas, it was said, is about
three days, and 150-car train could
move Is, 400 barrels of Gil each trip.
On the basis of the 10000 idle tank
GERS, there could be provided nearly
127 trains.
At the railroad association offices,
it was said, that no inquiries had
been made by Government officials
concerning the placing of these cars
in use to help relieve the Eastern
oil situation. They pointed out that
the cars are on sidings' for i'm
mediate use and that the motive
| equipment is at hand.
OF course, it was explained, the
| transportation cost is higher by rail-
road than by ship, but administra-
| tive officials have indicated that
higher prices would be expected
even with the shortage. 1t also was
added that construction of pipe
lines, now proposed as one medium
O Transportation, would increase
the cost Of oil products.

ing of an American vessel In the
World Wharf.-The sailing ship Will
liam P. Frye, which was sunk by
the German cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich on January 81, 1915. The
cruiser took the William P. Frye's
crew aboard before sinking her, and
no lives were lost.
Another 1915 incident presenting
sharp contrast involved the tanker
Gulf1ight, torpedoed by subma-
rine off Scilly on May /, 1915, while
following British patrol boats. Ger
many claimed it was a mistake,
offering as an excuse that the sub
marine commander thought the
presence of the British patrol boats
indicated the merchant ship was
part of British convoy.
No Military Equipment.
Gravity of the Robin Moor sink
ing is heightened by the fact that
the ship was far away from any
combat zone recognized by this
country, in accordance with a policy
adopted in the Neutrality Act be-
fore the war to keep American YES
sells out of danger zones in order
to avoid just such incidents.
While the Robin Moor was head
ed for South Africa, belligerent
part of the British Commonwealth
she was not carrying military equip
ment. This Government never has
recognized the broad definitions Of
contraband issued by Britain ano
Germany, which class as contraband
virtually any type of goods.

Mr.. Roosevelt, Secretary of State
Hull, Undersecretary Welles and
other policy-making officials will
study the detailed evidence as soon
as it is available and confer on pos
sible courses of action. The decision
probably will be announced within
"a hours of the arrival of the deposit
tons, it was said last night.
Reviews Facts Received.
From the summary of the evidence
already cabled to the State Depart
ment, certain facts already are very
clear, Mr.. Welles said yesterday at
a press conference. Describing these
facts as the real issues every one
should be considering, he recited
them substantially as follows:
The Robin Moor, an American
merchant vessel, in accordance with
the historic policy of this country,
was on the high seas engaged in
peaceful commerce. This ship was

from any combat area to which the
United States has voluntarily for
hidden its shipping, and was not
going to any port in such a combat
zone. The ship did not carry any
cargo in violation of American laws
or anything considered as contra
band by this country.
That ship was sunk. Aboard II
we're American citizens, including
women and children. In the space
of half an hour these American
citizens were forced into lifeboats
Counter to the terms of an inter-
national agreement to which the
German government and the United
States are parties and counter to
every law of humanity, they were
left in a position where they coulc
not be assured of any safety.
Concerns 1880 Agreement.
Tragically enough, it now seems
probable that three-fourths OF those
American citizens were lost.
From Mr.. Welles' recital Of thest
facts, it was clear that the ma
jor complaints against Germany
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-06-15

involve violation of the traditional
American doctrine of freedom of
the seas and of 1890 international
agreement which stipulated that a
belligerent should not sink mer-
chant vessel without assuring the
safety of her crew and passengers.
That agreement provided that
ships lifeboats should not be con-
sidered a place of safety unless
made so by the proximity Of land or
another vessel capable Of picking
them up.
The As passengers and crew men,
bers of the Robin Moor were left
adrift in four open lifeboats. hun
dreds of miles from land. Only one
of the boats, containing the II sur
vivors taken to Brazil, has been
found. The German submarine
which sank the Robin Moor pre-
vented it from sending out an sos
and failed to keep promise to
summon help by its own radio.
Initial Case More Grave.
These circumstances made the
incident appear much more grave
than any similar episodes that oc-
Cured during the World War I'M
! til Germany's unrestricted subma =
rine warfare in the spring OF 1917
