World second largest refinery amid Dutch island Curacao dispute
Curacao and Aruba reputedly house the world’s second largest refinery with major American investment. Officials say the islands supply about a third of Allies high octane gasoline. Both have martial law, and US officials expect possible joint action with Latin American states if German threat rises. A dispatch from Aruba notes 150 French marines landed, viewed as aid to Dutch authorities rather than a challenge to sovereignty. A huge underwater California river was discovered near the coast.
