Government Monopoly
On Oil Suggested

STOCKHOLM, February 20 =
(By wireless) A Government
monopoly on the import and sale
of gasoline and oils is suggested
by a committee of experts APP
pointed in 1945. For this purpose,
states the report, company
should be formed in which the
Government should hold at least
81 per cent of the stock and the
rest be sold TO private persons,
primarily the consumers them
selves.
According to the plan now Of
fered, the distribution should also
be handled by the Government
company, but the retail outlets
should remain in private hands.
The estimated net surplus would
make possible reduction of the
price of gasoline by up to five ore
per liter, or about a quarter of a
cent per gallon. Further reduc-
tons may also be achieved if the
monopoly acquires it's own ocean,
going tank fleet. The Committee
has made study of the price of
gasoline in a number of countries,
and has come to the conclusion
that the price level in Sweden has
not been the result of free compe-
tition. Furthermore. a Govern
ment monopoly is expected to re-
duce considerably the number of
personnel in the business.
Two of the five members of the
Committee voted against a state
monopoly. They pointed out that
the new Swedish oil refining enter
prises, and especially the expan-
sion plans of the Cooperative IN
ion in this field. would ensure
sufficiently keen competition to
keep prices down.
