CRITICIzES OUR
SHIPPING POLICY
Capt. Robert Dollar Reviews
Country's Naviga-
tiOn Laws

Capt. Robert Dollar. president OF
the Robert Dollar Co. OF San Fran
cisco. a resident OF Detroit at one
time and well known among the
city's business and commercial men.
told the national foreign trade con-
vention In New Orleans. now in ses-
sion. that the reason why American
business men were not going into
shipping under the Stars and
Stripes in the foreign trade as they
did during the Napoleonic wars was
the lack OF any definite national
shipping policy.
Capt. Dollars line has traded and
operated ships across the Pacific
for many years.
He reviewed the. navigation laws
OF the present day. and discussed
the government ownership bill. as
follows:
"The government ship bill has
not been introduced. and il would
be unwise to attempt TO discuss Of
fetal reports that instead OF being
confined to government operations
the vessels constructed by the gov
ernment may be leased 10 private
companies for operation in certain
trades not yet designated. This
much, however. II is fair 10 say:
The government proposed to EN-
bark In business which normally
II costs % per cent TO 35 per cent
more to conduct under the American
than under foreign flags. Unless
the government can perform the
service more cheapIy than private
enterprises il must incur deficits 10
be met out Of the public treasury
The vessels cannot be leased to pri-
vate companies unless private com
panies can operate them profit
ably"

For First Time, Re-
finers Have No Sur
plus Stocks
WINTER DEMAND
is VERY HEAVY
Prospect of Higher
Price in Spring Be-
yOnd Question

With growing concern the auto
mobile industry watches the upward
trend OF gasoline prices. For the
first tine In the history Of the oil
industry. refiners are unable 10
store up surplus stocks Of gasoline
at this time of the year. The situa-
tion has developed through the con-
tinuance Of an unusually heavy DO
mAnd throughout the fall and win
ter months because OF an increased
war demand and more widespread
use OF automobiles.
Without any surplus gasoline on
hand. refiners are entering upon the
spring and summer. a period Of &C
tive oemand. The prospect for
much higher prices with the open
ing OF the spring season seems al
most beyond question. A famine In
light grade oil Is imminent. and may
develop within q fe months, ac-
cording to oil men.
Little new production OF light
grade oil has been brought In dur
ing the last few months, most OF the
new output being heavy Texas or
Mexican oil. which are extremely
low in gasoline. The severest loss
to gasoline refiners was the sudden
decline OF the Cushing pool In Okla
homa. which has gone from q pro
duction OF 100000 barrels a day TO
less than 100. 900 at the present time.
The new oil field In Wyoming may
help the situation IL a sizeable pro
duction can be obtained there. Wy
ON ing oil is rich in gasoline. claimed
to be better than Cushing. The Elk
Basin. Wyo.. output at the present
time is thought TO be not more than
several thousand barrels day.
Another feature TO be considered
in the probable continuance OF high
gasoline prices Is the fact that up 10
the present most refineries have
been running on oil bought at much
.ower prices--some OF them. notably
the big Standard companies. buying
vast quantities OF Oklahoma oil a
year ago when IL was selling from 25
TO 40 cents a barrel. That oil Is
offlcially quoted at si.3o a barrel
end is commanding premiums OF rs
TO 30 cents.
Those supplies OF cheap oil now
are running out and the rehners will
consequently have to pay much high.
or prices for crude.
The average advance OF several
cents a gallon In the price OF saso-
line throughout the country as yet
has had little effect In checking de-
mand. Plans Of the automobile man
ufacturers call for the manufacture
OF about 100000 cars In the 1915
1916 season. which means q new
consumption OF 100000. 900 gallons
a year. Total automobile consump-
tion is expected to be close to 1.5oo.-
0o0. 900 gallons by next summer. In
addition. consumption by farm ma
chinery and motor boats IL a con-
stantly growing factor.

ofRense TO Questioa the wisdom Of

There have been bankers so
short-sighted as to object to our
making any loans abroad I'm order

safeguards OF our gold stocks."
o. eourse. this 10 elementary In

much greater banking skill and un.

Hill. his speech Ia simple and
weighted with economic wisdom.
He appeared at the Republican

described himself as Q hyphenate, Q

In Mr. Schin's view. while we may
