wake Up, GsnlIemsnl

Press dispatches say, According
to latest compilation Of figures the
Allies will need during the coming
year, total Of 43O,00O,0OO barrels
of oil, which must be furnished en-
irely by U. S, 3l5,OOO,OOO barrels
is the limit that can be produced
Also ON the same date the dis
patches say, "conferees Of house and
senate resumed their labOrs on AN
gust p with view of reporting an oil
leasing bill which may be passed be-
fore the coming fall election"
With an unprecedented demand for
oil staring our nation and the world
in the face, our law makers have de-
layed for months, and in fact years,
the passage of Legislation which
would encourage oil production by
opening vast areas of new land for
development purposes.
Under the so-called cloak OF
conservation" there has been a
constant and continued attempt
made to limit production by private
individuals.
Men who block measures permit
ting oil production are endangering
the life Of the nation and our mil
itary operations.
Wake up, gentlemen, and give the
oil industry a chance to expand.
