Company across the Forth from Leith. It is to be hoped, however, that there will be no undue haste in reviving shipwrecked oil concerns. The industry has suffered too much in the past from both under and over capitalisation, and it can easily be squeezed out of existence altogether by a combination of American and Russian producers.-The Economist.
