Top Speed is Right.

The oil country must be kept at
top speed to win approval for ef-
ficiency In supplying oil and in spite
OF all pessimistic predictions the
chances are that 1t will be, and that
business will continue as now and
everybody working to the limit and
doing hts best to help win the war.
Mr. Requa. oil administrator. has
frequently reiterated that there must
be no let-up aud the business must
run Itself or the government will
run IT." This Is just exactly what
the business will do If given an op,
portunity and square deal.
The great majority. at least 90
per cent of oil producers. are easily
classed as independent" The great
majority OF refiners, and there is re-
tlnig capacity enough to take care
OF every barrel OF oil being pro,
duced, are also Independent and yet
there is no disposition whatever on
the part of refiners to ask for tho
best OF It, and no one is even asking
the Standard or any of its sub
sidiartes TO sell them oil for refin-
ing purposes. Neither has the
Gypsy oil company. producing end
OF the Gulf pipe line. ever sold any
oil nor has the Texas, except in one
or two instances where the pre-
premium looked attractive, and
likewise the Magnolla--another
Standard subsidiary.
No one has asked the Carter OIL
company to sell oil to any independ-
raj nd g.
heard Of here. and yet there is a
disposition on the part OF some Of
the said subsidiaries or their pub
licity men to give out the impress,
sion that the Independents are about
to get squelched. This meaning the
refiners.
The fact is that everything that
has actually occurred under Mr..
Requa's administration of affairs
pertaining to oil. has been done
with view OF being fair to every,
body. and keeping the business go.
ing. There is no reason whatever
for believing that he is going to
change his system IN the least.
He Will likely allow at least n
half-cent tank wagon advance in
the price OF refined stuff to make
UP Tor the big advance in freight
rates.
He will likely retire at the end of
the war as one man who has occu.
pied the most difficult position in
the country--that of presiding over
the destinies OF the oil business with
unboundod credit to himself.
I'd II Is the one business that every.
BODY seems to feol the necessity or
making the goat. although prices
are no higher than when crude was
cheaper than now and the country
was not at war.
Mr. Bedford himself Is playing n
game on the level and is one man
who is entitled to credit. He will NOT
Try 70 put anything over on Mr..
Eequa, but is wise enough to kpow
mat the country must have oil. and
our allies as well, and that every.
BODY must do his best--each in his
own way with whatever means ba
has at his disposal.

Would Be a Fair Average.

Arch q. Grlder of the Midland
Petroleum company thinks that a
half-cent advance in the price Of
gasoline, kerosene and naptha in
the Standard of Indiana territory
would offset the proposed advance
In freight rates, and a proportlonato
increase in eartern and southern ter
ritories where freight rates are high
err.
1t will be the ultimate consumer
who has to pay the freight in Mr.
Orders opinion, and the half-cent
advance should be tank wagon ad

 American portss are k9ing Jbrevented from sailing by their/inabifity to ob- tain bunker coal, odcasioned by the owners refusing to sign d War Trade Board regulation.
 This regulation, it was learned, would obligate the several Norwe- gian shipping companies to engage not to withdraw a single one of their vessels from service, a risk the own ers refuse to take in the absence of guarantees that they will be protected against loss. The owners maintain that such an undertaking, to be bind ing, as it is desired by the American War Trade Board, for the duration of the war, cannot be entered into by them in the absence of the following assurances:
 Guarantees Demanded.
 1. That a guarantee will be given that the freight rates now prevailing shall be raised in the event of war risk insurance rising; and,
 ? That a guarantee be given that the present rates shall not be low cred.
 The difficulty is preventing the sail ing for France, Italy and other coun- tries of loaded vessels carrying essen tial waE supplies.
 The Norwegian owners are satisfied q nnd are advancing along the Hedjaz 10 the South American east coast points are 35 shilhngs and to South American west coast points are 40 ShilEngS per ton. The negotiations do not involve Norwegian vessels serving Britain, as the rates and oth- or arrangements with that country are declared authoritatively to be sat isfactory in every particular, includ- ing the necessity of having to enter the submarine zone.
 Concerning Norwegian shipping g losses it was asserted today that con- trary to a popular belief, the losses of lives had amounted to only TOO, not the very much larger figures which have been stated, although the loss of tonnage has amounted to more than 100000 tons.
 It was also emphasized that the Norwegian government is not con- cerned directly in the negotiations af- fecting shipping which are being car ried on by the American governme ment with the representatives Of the own- CTS.
 The owners take the ground that they cannot know what conditions may arise in the future, and that in refusing to obligate themselves not 10 lay up ships, as demanded by the war trade board, which controls bunkering, it is not because they do not want to serve American interests but that as business men, they must look after their own interests. There fore, they hold, unless the United States either permits the ships to con- tinue the traffic without being bound to risk great losses, without hope ot compensation, for the first time since the beginning of the war Norwegian vessels will be laid up.
