Temporary Decrease Said Due to Lack of Transport Bucharest, Sept. 22.
Despite recent reports of heavy ex-verts to Germany, it is still impossible for Rumania to send the axis powers anything like a full amount of oil available for export.
This is due mainly to transport difficulties caused by the recent heavy burden of refugee and military traffic on railways, coupled with diminished importance of the port of Constanza an export centre.
This in turn is causing temporary flagging of Rumanie's oil production. The drop, already considerable, is expected to amount soon to nearly 100,000 tons monthly, which represents a fall in normal daily production from 16,500 to 13.500 tons—Reuter.
