Crude Oil Is Consumed in
Excess of the Production

It is interesting to read that the
country is consuming crude oil at the
rate of 26,000,000 barrels a year in ex-
cess of production. A demand to rush
production is raised. There is refining
capacity for 1,250,000 barrels a day,
while the production is about 100000.
Many of us who are not yet superan-
nuated can remember when oil was
put to use. Since that time how much
has gushed or been drawn from under
ground? Nobody can calculate, says
the Hartford Courant.
We know where the perpetual
brooks and rivers come from. The wa
ter flowing to the sea returns in rain
and the supply is continually self
renewing. But how about oil? How
can that return to the inner earth after
being separated and burned? Every
body takes it for granted that there is
an unlimited supply of oil to be had,
and nobody discusses the possibility Of
it's giving out. What would the world
do today if it suddenly found itself
without oil?
