Help for Whom,
| Britain or Axis?
iEditorial)

Following our protest
against Harold Ickes' fore
cast of gasoline rationing to
come and "gasless Sundays
in the offing We received
the following written state
ments from the public re-
lations committee of the
Pacific coast petroleum m
dustry':
"There is plenty of oil
for all military and civilian
demands.
THE only shortage Is IN
Transportation go tankers
have been requisitioned by
tho government for trans
fer to Great Britain.
The difficulty is only
temporary. New pipelines
and new tankers are already
being constructed.

The point of the state
ment seems to be that the
shortage which threatens IS
due to aid we are giving
Britain. We are pledged to
give such aid and the Amer
lean people wish to do so.
Isn't it strange, tnen'
that in response to inquiry
the u. S. department OF
commerce informs that we
also are supplying petro-
leum to Japan, a member
of the Observation-Disclosures
axis, which, the president
saws. we must defeat IN
order to save ourselves!
The department reveals
that in March --latest monin
for which figures are avail
able) the United States
shipped s25.O3l barrels OF
crude oil, 103,372 barrels OF
high grade (aviation) gaso,
line. and 296,156 barrels OF
other fuel and ordinary gas
oline to Japan!
This was so per cent
more than was shipped to
Japan in the previous month
february, the department
says.
Such helpful shipments to
the Axis power have con-
tinued throughout April and
May and are going forward
now.
What's the answer?
We don't know. But we
think it should come from
Mr.. Ickes or Secretary OF
State Hull or somebody at
Washington. And soon!

London TO have entered Sur, the

A second column from Palestine
