COASTLINE
THE ITALIANS ARE BEING DRIVEN BACK TOWARDS THE SEA AND NOT TO FURTHER LINES INLAND, ACCORDING TO INDICATIONS GIVEN BY LATEST REPORTS FROM THE FRONT RECEIVED IN ATHENS LAST NIGHT.
· The Italian retreat appears to be facing a general westwards direction and this is re- garded by informed military observers in Athens as far more important than the cap- ture of individual small towns and villages.
Most of the towns occupied by the Greeks so far have been theirs before the troops actually invested them. Hench the importance of the Greek thrust up the Viosa Valley beyond Premeti along the road to Klisura.
The Italians are retiring as them to the source of the Skumbi rapidly as possible on Chimara, į River. a port on the Albanian' coast some 30 miles north of Santl Quaranta.

SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Need of oil is the most urgent problem confront- ing the Axis, and it is cer- tain that it was one of the subjects discussed at the Brenner meeting betwen Hitler and Mussolini, and that reports of German military activity in the Rumanian oilfields are a sequel to that meeting.
Since the outbreak of war Ger- many has been pressing Rumania to send her more and more.olt. Six months ago Rumanian mineral oil exports to the United King- dom amounted to 122,500 metric tons, as against 44,700 metric tons. to Great Germany. Those are the figures for March of this year.
At the beginning, of 1940 Ger- many and Rumania signed a trade protocol in which Rumania under- took to supply Germany with 1,700,000 tons of oil this year. But it was authoritatively estimated last May that, excluding the ar rears which Rumania had" "pro- mised to make up, a balance re- mained of rather more than 1,366,- 000 tons to be shipped to Get many in eight months,-
Doubtless, Rumania has failed to step-up her oil production sum- ciently to satisfy Hitler's demands and so he has stepped in....
But if Hitler "grabe the lot,"
• It will by "no means solve his Coll problem.
Germany's peace-time ofl "con=" sumption was 2,000,000 tons more than Rumanin's total oil produc tion, which has been steadily de- clining for years.
And it is most unlikely that the Nazis can move more than a quar- tor of Rumania's total öll pro- duction into Germany, even with Stalin's permission to conveyit across territory controlled by Rus- bla.
Another oil transporting route is, of course, the Danube; but that, river's oll transport capacity is "estimated at not more than 800,000,
