Rcnua's visit Apnlandcd.

The OIL ana Gas News, speaHlng
edltorially OF the promised visit or
NJ l.. Requa, has the following to
say:
IAN event long prayed for in the
mid-cQntlnent is about to happen.
M. J.. Requa, petroleum director OF
the United States, has announced ms
intention OF visiting the mid-cont.,
nent field TO obtain a closer view OF
several angles OF various Issues
which are in Immediate need OF spe-
cial consideration on the part OF the
administration
at Is felt generally that this Is a
long step forward for the more efti-
cacious conduct OF govrnment con
troll of the industry of this section OF
the country There are many direc-
tions in which the situation In the
mid continent field differs so widely
from conditions in the other oil fields
OF the country as to require a more
intimate knowledge Of actual condl-
tions in existence which can only be
gained from personal contact there
with.
Like the practical farsighted
man that he Is, Mr.. Requa seems 10
have realized this, and the visit IN
prospect s the result. 1t is felt thal
he can quickly post himself on the
matters in question, and several leau- :
ers of the industry have expressed
themselves as confident that he Will
ondeavor to promptly eliminate sew
eral Of the handicaps with which the
mid-continent operators are now
forced to contend.
''The manhood of the petroleum
Industry in mid-contlnent fields has
repeatedly been demonstrated since
the entry of the United States into
the world conflict, and it has no in
clination whatever to take adVant-
age OF the situation in any partlc-
ular. neither does it ask for special
favors.
ANY particular relief prayed for IN
alleviation Of the present conditions
is from no selfish motive, but IN
order 10 facilitate the spirit which
actuates the industry heart and soul

requirement upon 1t that the govern
ment has made. and may in the fu-
ture make, for the furtherance oi
