Conserving the Gasoline Supply

OFFICIALS of the Federal fuel admins
~ tration authorize the reassuring informa-
ton that the nations supply of gasoline will
be sufficient for all normal needs provided
the public exercises reasonable care against
waste. II the public insists upon extrava-
gunce, however and a shortage seems mmi-
nent. it is the purpose of the government
to enforce restrictions against the use of this
product for pleasure cars and motor boats
before vehicles used in business are affected.
The gasoline using public scarcely fail
to heed this warning. Failure to do so may
result in serious hardships and inconvenience
on the part Of the tens of thousands of auto
mobile owners. Should the supply of gaso-
line for pleasure purposes be cut off entirely
the loss would mount into the tens of mil
lions of dollars and would fall heaviest upon
the very people whose improvdence has
brought about that loss.
Gasoline is by-product. 1t is made from
fuel oil. and the more fuel oil refined the
greater the volume OF gasoline. War has
created an enormous demand for fuel oil
Hundreds OF new vessels are being equipped
with oil burners. This is true of the mer-
chant fleets we'll of the naval ships now
going into commission. The government will
take such steps as are necessary to maintain
an adequate supply Of this fuel, and in the
process will maintain n corresponding flow
OF gasoline
AS soon as the gasoline is produced it goes
upon the market. There are no means of
storing any great quantities of this product
and 1t is piped from the refneries iulme-
diateiy. But great as is the demand for fuel
oil and great is the volume of gasoline
which will be produced the amount of the
latter is limited. 1t must not be burned with
prodigaity. The temperate use Of it is adj
Missile and even encouraged by the govern
ment. but unnecessary touring, the unneces-
sary leakage OF carburetors, the unnecessary
running OF motors while cars are standing
sun are practices which will threaten
shortage and may bring about restrictions
which the Federal authorities hope to avoid
An important element in the gasoline Sit
uation just now is the fact that the produc-
ton OF pleasure cars has been cut down 70
per cent By order Of the war industries board
MS Will tend TO relieve the demand in that
direction but at the same time it must be
remembered that airplanes are being built
IN great numbers and tens of thousands OF
motor trucks are being turned out by the
plants which in the past have manufactured
automobiles.

The action of the American Federation of
Labor in resolving to have no relations with
representatives OF the workers OF the CEN
trail powers until the German military ma
chine has been smashed has already found
response in France. Fifteen or the forty
Socialist members Of the French Chamber
of Deputies announce their approval of the
American federationists, and have repudi-
ated proposed negotiations with Socialists
OF enemy countries. This is the only safe
course that labor in any OF the countries
at war with Germany and her vassal allies
can afford to take, and it is gratifying to note
that the attitude Of American labor has had
much to do with influencing this state of
mind in all of the allied countries.

Liberty Bond Interest Rates
