EMBARGO law TO
BE OIL CONTROL?
Export Commission Refuses to
Let Shipments Start for
Iceland and Spain.
CONSERVATION PLAN SIGHTED
Would Mean Ample Supply
for Home Needs and Those
of Uncle Sans Allies.
BY OMER K. BENEDICT

BY OMER X. BENEDICT
(World's Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Rumors
OF oil control continue to permeate
the national capital and A. c. Bed
ford and Barney Baruch have held
several conferences here today with
different governmental officials. and
it is said visited President Wilson.
1t developed today that the embargo
has been stretched to include pc
troleum and its by-products. and that
the export commission OF the shipping
board has refused so far to license
several cargoes of crude now lying
in the Brooklyn yards upon which de-
murrage is accumulating. Part OF
this oil is consigned to Iceland. with
no danger of 1t falling into the hands
of the enemy, and part of 1t Is billed
for Barcelonia, Spain.
Would Keep oil at Home.
The exports board. 1t is said, is not
inclined to license the shipment of
any oil or products at this time. and
no time is set for its release. 1t Is
thot by a certain high official in
Washington. who | am not at liberty
to quote, that the president intends
to control oil and by-products thru the
agency of the embargo law. BY en-
forcing this law against gasoline. kero-
sene and fuel oil and other products.
he can confine the supply. thru Ii
cense. to the allied countries alone.
thus assuring them an adequate sup
ply and it is believed insure adequate
supply at home for both the army and
navy, as we'll as for the public in gen.
eral, and at the same time keep the
price reasonable.
Prices to BE Consistent.
This official also stated that the
president would fix the price of gas
oline at a reasonable profit consistent
with price of crude. and 1t is also
stated the president. after availing
himself OF all the figures compiled by
the federal trades commission, be-
lieves that $3.50 a barrel would be an
equitable basis for mid-continent
crude.
No one can anticipate at this time
just how far-reaching the embargo
will go toward conservation OF gaso-
line. but IL is said by men who are
familiar with the oil situation that
this together with prices fixed by the
president would have only one result.
that of working a hardship on the
smaller refineries who are now paying
premium on Oklahoma crude. and
who depend upon common carriers to
supply their crude oil.
