SOUND SPECULATION
MILLIONS FOR AUSTRALIA LONDON, March 30. “Surely there is less chance of losing on £30,000,000 credit to Australia than £3,000,000 to Russia. Why should Britain assist confirmed enemies and refuse life-long friends?” This pertinent query was embodied in a letter to the Times by Sir Henry Deterding, director-general of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., and director of the Shell Transport and Trading Co., Ltd. He asked if it was not time that Britain “ceased chasing bankrupts with credit offers whom they cannot force to pay in cash, and started offering large credits to their own folks, and friends in Australia.”
