German Eagerness To Obtain Oil

LONDON, Jan. 25 (Router), | The position of German troops in Eastern Galicia (Soviet-oc- cupied Poland) was discussed to-day in a broadcast by Mr. F.

Maoris Start Training

To Join N. Zealand

WELLINGTON, Jan. 23 (Reuter). The first battalion of Maori volun- teers went into camp for field train- ing to-day.

Expeditionary Force. alist and author,

He doubted if there were more than half a division of German troops in the area, but it was interesting that they should be there et 'all. They must have arrived with the consent of the Sovlel Government and would certainly work with the co-operation of the focal Soviet authorities.

Near Rumanian Border

They were metually near the Ru- manlan border ulthough it was aug- frosted that they were there to guard the railway which rase through Galicia from Rumanin to Germany.

The Germans needed the railway

PLEASE Turn To Page 5. for the transport of certain supplies, oll, food, timber, etc. Normally these supplies came by two routes, the Hungarian railways and the Danube.

The latter is important, for oil can be shipped in bulk by means of tankers direct to Germany. How - ever, part of the Danube lanker fleet has been bought by the Allies, and The Danube itself is frozen over.

Although the Hungarion railways are exposed to Nuzi pressure, the Nuzis could not run them as their own, and therefore, it is possible that Germany wants to run the Polish rallway as an additional line for her

own use.

Would Be Poor Yield

It had

had been suggested that the Germans were in Eastern Gallela to guard the oll helds so that Germany could get the whole output.

Mr. Volt fell that this was possible, but pointed out that the yield was a poor

one

He had also heard it suggested that the Russians were giving the Ger- mans, railway and all in return for help in the war against Finland. This, he felt, was doubtful, although it was true that the Germans wanted to see Russia wiu, and had sent en- gineers some time ago to stiffen the Soviet defences.

The battalion is 1,000 strong, and in the ranks are men who fought in the lost war.

They Fought In Last War Two Maori battalions went to Europe with the Anznes in the last war. They saw service nt Gallipoli and France, and won the highest praise from the Allied Command.

The battaliona were maintained at a full strength of 2,000 men through- out the wor-no mean feat when it is remembered that the whole. Maori race at the Ume numbered a little over 80,000 men, women and children.

Hitler Silence

Possibly He Has Nothing To Say

LONDON. Jan. 25 (Reuter), Speculation has been aroused in London over Hiller's long silence, which was only broken by the specch he made on Wednesday night to 7,000 air force and army endets atj the Sports Palast in Berlin,

The contents of his speech have not been revealed.

Interest is aroused in the possible plans for a celebration on January 31, which is the anniversary of the Nazis coming into power.

Generally

this celebration calls for a meeting of the Reichstag and a speech by the Fuehrer.

Semi-official circles in London comment that this year there has been no indicatlon whether he will and anything to say when the on- niversary arrives.

The increase is said to be specially signincant most of China's foreign trade in 1939 was carried on over- fand routes as the result of Japan's blockade and occupation of the coastal ports.

The figures for 1039, it is stressed, do not include "Free China's" exports to Hongkong and Haiphong, a large portion of which was later sent to the United States..
