RUMANIA PLAYING GERMAN GAME AGAINST BRITAIN
THE RUMANIAN Government has taken action against British oil interests in Rumania which is likely to lead to sharp representa- tions.
Reuter's Bucharest correspondent says that the Rumanian Oil Commission has ap- pointed a "Controller" to "supervise the affairs" of Astra Romana, the biggest oil un- dertaking in Rumania.
Astra Romana is owned by British and Dutch interests.
The step has been taken follow- ing allegations that the Company
failed to supply the Commission PAYMENT
with the required details of their operations.
