Rails Cut Rates
On Oil in Step
To End Shortage
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

WASHIN GTON. Sept. s.
Speedy termination OF the eastern
petroleum shortage was indicated
today as thousands OF railroad
eank cars started pouring steady
stream of oil and gasoline into
the II states OF the Atlantic Sea-
board area.
An emergency freight rate re-
duction of % per cent on gasoline
and fuel oil and 50 per cent on
crude oil was agreed TO last night
by railroads and principal petro-
lium companies. thus assuring I'M
mediate utilization Of some 10000
surplus tank cars for hauling these
commodities 10 the East.
Spokesman for the railroads de-
clared that operation OF the 10000
tank cars completely solved the
eastern shortage problem. They
expressed the belief tina, within
few weeks there would be no
necessity for continuing the
nightly curfew on sales OF gasoline

d per cent on gasoline and fuel
oil. the oil companies will be able
IN ship their products for approx
mAteIy four 10 four and one-half
cents per gallon The present
shipping rate is FIVE and one-halt
cents.
At the conference the railroad
and oil company executives agreed

10 speed up the movement and un-
loading OF them in all parts OF the

the pouring on a large scale.
The foundation has been poured
for two huge quartermaster ware
houses.
The saw shop has been put into
operation during the past week and

even warships-Whereas the Soviet
Union cannot sell to Germany even
cereals without violating the policy
of peace.
These strange contentious pro-
vide a curious example of juggling
with international law and neutral
ity and can only have the meaning
of a political maneuver.
Economic relations between the
U. S. S. R. and Germany and
corresponding agreements form,
above all, a most effective means
of strengthening peace and friend
ship between the U. S. S. R. and
Germany-the two mightiest pow
ers in Europe"

gestions that German . Russian
agreements are directed against
third powers, Izvestia went on: I'm
the curse of 1910 the Soviet Union
concluded, and intends to conclude
in 1941, economic treaties n d
agreements with other states, both
belligerent and non belligerent."
The newspaper cited Joseph Stall
ms March, 1889, statement of for
eign policy and said the U. S. S. R.
stood on it.
Stain said at that time:
"We stand for peace and the
strengthening of business relations
with all countries. That is our posi-
ton; and we shall adhere to this
position as long as these countries
maintain like relations with the
Soviet Union and as long as they
make no attempt to trespass on
the interests of U country.

and friendly relations with all
neighboring countries which have

shall adhere to this position as long
as these countries maintain like
relations with the Soviet Union and
as long as they make no attempt
to trespass directly or indirectly on
the integrity and inviolability of
the frontiers of the Soviet state"
This policy, said ~Izvestia, was
''once again confirmed"
Pravda's editorial was in h e
same vein. It said the F d a y
agreements provided fresh proof
of the durability of good-neighbor-
ly relations between the two great
