Frida3r,'•October- ,17, when. an .independent. gasoline.. company, in a full "page • 'advertisement; .ad-• dresses"to' the. Prime 'Minister, open= ly declared :there. was no -real .scar' - city of gasoline, no scarc'ity'of• tank ships to haul: it ''in, and that the whole . business was ' a . manipulation of the • ,big 'interests , to' `squeeze out -th-e-smll.:independent,;dealers, Nat; wally these statements were 'denied by a Minister of the Crown the fol-• lowing day.' But the fact remains :if these •published'statements'•were `entirely false why could 'snot author- ities . institute libel proceedings?. The whole situation ; .should ' be cleared up.
