NO “SUPER" PETROL
AUSTRALIAN DECISION ALL SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR WAR EFFORT CANBERRA. Dec. 8. No more supplies of "super" grade petrol will be permitted to reach Australia as soon as tankers now unloading this spirit or bringing it to Australia have been discharged. The acting-Minister of Supply, Sir Frederick Stewart, said prohibition of the use of super grade would conserve the Empire supply of aviation spirit. The prohibition would not apply to petrol imported for aviation purposes and the embargo would not have the effect of reducing the lota! quantity of petrol imported.
