Clashes

With Foreign Oil Companies

Helsinki, June 1.

Finland is facing a shortage of oil products as a result of a clash between her Government and the Western oil companies over Rumanian oil.

These American and British com- panies, which together distribute about 70 per cent of all the oil sold in Finland, have announced that they will not handle Rumanian oil products with which the Finnish Government plans to fill 40 per cent of the country's total needs.

They say that they are al- ready selling Soviet blis, which All 50 per cent of Finland's total needs and compete with the Western companies' own products, To ask them to
