OUR NEED OF OIL

It Is an impressive coincidence that the fuel administration should, upon the same
 day, cause public announcement to be
 made that arrangements have been per-
 fected with President Sinclair for the
 construction of new pipe line whereby
 the rich oil fields of Oklahoma and Kan
 sas can be made the more readily to
 yield their product at the Atlantic sea-
 ports and also that the public is re-
 quested and if the request be not needed,
 will be commanded not to use automo.
 piles for pleasure purposes on Sunday.
 Part of the difficulty occasioned by the
 lack of an adequate amount of oil is due
 to the fact that we lack shipping facili-
 ties. For if we had an adequate supply
 or ships we could get sugar from Java
 and thus relieve the partial sugar famine,
 we could increase our trade with Brazil,
 for that has fallen off because of the
 lack of ships, and there could be abun-
 dant supplies of wheat for our allies ob-
 tained from the Australian surplus. So, also, if we had adequate shipping facil- ities, there could be an abundant supply
 of mineral oil obtained from Mexico The
 American production of petroleum, great
 as 1t is, nevertheless for the past two years has not been equal to the consump- tion by 10000, ,000, 900 barrels or 100000 900
 each year. We are gradually depicting our surplus of oil. If Great Britain could secure from the oil fields in Mexico much the greater part of the oil that she needs and she could secure it if there were abundant shipping, then the situation in the United States would be different. It might not be necessary to call upon the public to discontinue their Sunday motor trips or to ask President Sinclair to construct new pipe line. Should the war be continued two or three years longer, /a very serious situation will arise
 unless there be provided abundant ship ping for the transportation of oil from Mexico to Great Britain. We are produc- ing enormously, about two-thirds of the worlds output of petroleum, and yet this is not enough. In addition to the con servation of gasoline the discontinuance of Sunday motoring will produce econ- omies which in the aggregate will amount to a very large sum. It will also reduce the patronage enjoyed by the country inns and roadhouses upon which the pro- prietors of these resorts have relied for income sufficient to make the season fairly profitable.

NEED OF OIL FOR
 CONDUCTING WAR
By HOLLAND

New York, September 2.-(Special) Upon the same day in the latter part of
 las: week there appeared two statements apparently independent each of the other.
 which, nevertheless, reflect the vital iip' portance of the mineral oil or petroleum
 situation in the United States as that is
 associated with our war needs. President Sinclair, whose corporation has recently completed in record time an oil pipe line from the Oklahoma and Kansas oil fields to east Chicago, has promised the united States fuel administration to build with in three months a new pipe line which will parallel for distance of 200 miles the pipe line recently completed from Oklahoma to east Chicago.
 This action demonstrates clearly the view which the United States fuel ad- ministration takes respecting the oil sit uation, By the construction of this new pipe line much large quantities of petro- leum can be sent to the Atlantic sea board than is now possible, because the railroad transportation will be relieved of transportation demands for hauling this oil from the rich fields of Kansas and Oklahoma to the east. In fact, the government apparently placed such stress upon the negotiation that it is the under standing that the large amount of money which will be required for the construc- l ton of this line will be advanced by the government
 l On the day this announcement was
 made there came from Washington re- quest with an intimation that if it were not needed it would be changed into a command, that the use of motor cars
 everywhere east of the Mississippi river on Sundays be discontinued Exceptions | were made for certain motor car trans portation which is of importance, such | as motor trucks or physicians cars The | reason given for this request is that | there is already a shortage of gasoline ! for war purposes, and there is likely tc
 be much greater shortage.
 l It has been observed by Englishmen who have been recently in the United States that the use of the automobile for pleasure travel on Sunday is enormous | One of the representatives of a foreign nation now in the United States, who is | q British subject, was invited to take a l weekend motor trip up through New England He accepted the invitation, al- though speaking with some astonishment that excursions of this kind were so common in the United States, whereas in Great Britain the use of the automobile I for pleasure purposes was long ago ended. When he returned to New York he spoke with amazement of the number | of pleasure ears which were seen upon the excellent highways of New England and especially the vast number of them which were upon the road within 100 miles of New York city. Nothing of that kind is known in Great Britain or in l Europe. And it occurred to this man l that there must be an enormous use of gasoline for pleasure purposes on Sun

PROFITEER!NG LANDLORDS
Cleveland City Council VIII Proceed
Against Persons Who Charge
ExorbItant RcntN.

CLEVELAND. OHIO. June c.-Thp
City Council has. by unanimous vote
decided 10 take action against the land
lords who are charging cxorbitan,
rents. With the great influx of war
workers 10 the city in the last year
living space has been at premium
and landlords have forced the rents in
many cases up to twice what they
charged year or so ago. The Council
held this unjustified and a form of war
proflteering and adopted resolutions
calling for immediate measures to
regulate rents and for study OF
methods by which to comba. the rent
profiteering.
