To the Eaitor-of the "Nonm-Cura Daty News"
Sm=—It is very refreshing to hear that the Rumanian oil elds have been bombed by the Russians.
'Why Britain' has not done any' bombing in this direction is beyond one's comprehension. unless the. preservation of the oh fields is more Important than winning the war.
We have been told that Germany gels more. than 50 per cent of her Fequirements from Rumania.
Such being the case, it is most obvious, even to a child, that had these oil fields been destroyed, Germany would have been quite unable' to have invaded Russia and in all probability her war machine would have by now come almost to a stand-stil, a Tt is to be hoped that Russia. will continue these bombings and that should Germany succeed in getting ear enough to menace the Baku all fields. these will be put out of commission, and no doubt many others. would welcome a few words of explanation on this subject -elther by Mr. Alexander Carlisle, Mr. Alfred Morley or Mr. John Harford.
