Drops 5 1 Paris special tons the Normal flow of Oil from the Middle East to Western Europe dropped Between five and six per cent in the firs week of the Arab israeli War and will probably be Down by 10 per cent by the end of this week if this is prolonged Foi an other two or three weeks the Oil companies will begin ration no their customers and cutting Lack on non essential consume Ion. But a month of reduce Uphues with no end in sight would confront european governments with the necessity of introducing full scale consumer rationing for which most o hem Are already prepare with standby machinery and in ome cases ration books or coupons already printed meanwhile Oil ministers of eight of the Arab states Are meeting in Kuwait today Al most certainly the meeting will produce a unified Arab warn no of a Cut off of Oil shipments o any country which supplies rms to Israel Buch a warn ing already conveyed by mid Idi Alarab leaders would of course be aimed primarily Al be United states but the in or Lockma ownerships of the Oil Ompa Mes and the complexity f shipping Charters makes in almost impossible to single nut by one nation for embargo treatment a Cut aimed at the United states would certainly effect Western Europe As Well so far the reduction m sup lies to Western Europe is the result of israeli military action against the syrian Oil ports and Syria s declaration of the Eastern Mediterranean As a War zone the syrian port of manias normally handles be Ween 600000 and 700000 bar Els of Oil a Day from Northern raq while the smaller port of Tartus can Load about .100.000 a Day farther South m Lebanon Sidon pumps out half million barrels of saudi Ara Nan crude through the tap i n e and Tripoli another barrels of iraqi Oil the Oil loaded at these four Mediterranean ports amounts o about 10 per cent of Western Europe s daily consumption. According to reports reach no pans the storage facilities and pumping terminals at lamas have been heavily hit with the tank facilities about half destroyed Taitus was also lit and both ports closed in the first few Days of the War. Ankers had been continuing to Oad at the lebanese ports of Idon and Tripoli until late last week but the risks and insure nce costs arc now too great particularly with Syria s formal action in declaring the Eastern Mediterranean a War one. Thus without any political c t i o n or decision by the arabs Western Europe s Oil supplies Are already Cut by 10 per cent. In the midst of this Libya As tightened up its regulations governing Oil exports by re hiring since last Friday that special government permission s obtained for every individual ship loading libyan crude rom now on. The libyans Lave not so far stopped any loadings but they Are clearly taking Steps to turn off the tap at any moment. The country to be hit hardest so far in Europe is Austria which buys substantial quantities of iraqi crude normally delivered from the syrian pipe Ine terminals via Tanker to Trieste. Already the austrian a rags Are rationing gasoline o their customers and the government has appealed to motorists to Cut Down on their flow 3er cent driving a similar Appeal has been issued by the Swiss authorities. The West German govern ment has legislation drafted to push rationing authorization through the Bonn parliament if things tighten. Italy More vulnerable than either France or Britain May decide this week to ration gasoline to motorists trance has instructed its 01 companies to hold Down on re Export of Oil products Britain is ready with an intermediate system of delivery priorities r the Supply situation tightens much total show the underlying trend of the Job picture the actual decline in total employment was but most of it was expected in sep tember according to Norma seasonal trends. The actual total of unemployed dropped 12 000 to 421000, but statistics Canada figured it As a Rise of on a seasonally adjusted basis be cause it usually drops much More m september j 0 n a seasonally adjusted basis the employment level decreased in the Atlantic re Gion Quebec Ontario and Brit ish Columbia while it increased m the Prairie Region the in crease in the Frame Region follows several months of de Chomg or stable he report said the most pronounced decline was in 43 000 it added most of the drop in jobs was among younger and older workers. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased substantially for persons 14 to from 9 7 per cent in August to 10.7. Per cent in september statistics Canada said. There was no change in the rate for persons 25 to 54 while the rate for persons .55 and Over increased from 3.4 to 4.3 per it said. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased in he Atlantic Region Quebec Ontario and British Columbia while it decreased in the Prairie the report added. It also said there was a arge drop of in the number of workers with full time jobs and a big increase of in the number with Art time. Employment. Such a trend usually indicates some persons were working Only Lart time because they could t find full time jobs. In actual figures the report showed the total number of employed was made up of men and women. The total unemployed included men and women. Employment for women 25 and Over decreased Foi owing a Large increase in August of statistics Cana la said. The jobless Rale of married men aged 25 to considered a key breadwinner declined to 3.2 per cent from .4 per cent he report said. This figure has remained stable at its relatively Low level inc last March it in the past by there is Tittle doubt that this time the scope of the egyptian and Synan preparation was misinterpreted in any event israelis accept prime minister Golda Meir s admission Over the weekend that the decision not o strike As in 1967 was a political one to avoid work condemnation. But if this much is understood by the average israeli there is less patience with the next phase. 1 1 became apparent Only hours the actual attack hat this arabs were getting into position in Earnest it was insufficient time to Call up More than first priority reservists but ample time to warn regulars who were holding positions along the Suez Cana and1 in the Golan Heights. At 2 . On yom kippur on two separate fronts the egyptians and syrians made their coordinated assault. Why were some israeli sol Diers on the Suez line having afternoon naps Why were some on the Golan Heights Tak no showers these Are. Nag sing questions asked with increasing dismay As the stories get about. Either a proper Alert was not a failure of israeli the troops were too ure of themselves. They could Deal easily with arabs. This cockiness May be understandable in an says a Veteran of the last free wars but it is inexcusable in older supposedly Maure men who direct the but then he added sadly men like Dayan the defence minister and Elazar the chief f staff belong to the cocky school. The simple fact is that Srael s generals who had a reputation for unorthodox Lave turned out to be much be generals anywhere and at almost any stage in history. They allowed this War to Start where the last one left off. They thought that any Arab attack would conform to he old pattern that it would be preceded by a Long artillery barrage perhaps of 24 hours duration giving Israel time to bring up reserves in numbers. The bar lev line a series of israeli dugouts arid bunkers was Good against artillery bursts something like a modest Middle East version of the Vlag Inot line.
