Whale Oil Glut

Norwegians Alarmed Unilever to Operate in Antarctic

A CABLE from Oslo, published in The Sydney Sun on May 9, stated that consternation had been caused in whaling circles in Norway by the report that the Unilever Soap Syndi cate would send out its own whaling factories to the Antarctic to procure the 50,000 tons of oil needed in 1932.

Thepresident of the Norwegian Whaling Association has stated that the announcement that Unilever needs only 50,000 tons meant that the whole Norwegian fleet will be idle next season, as the present unsold surplus is 70,000 tons.
