A questionnaire, submitted TO 1872

opinion based in part on a desire to see
completion in service and facilities re-
stored; C3) the general judgment con
cerning the e,proposal TO extend govern
ment operation for five years.
on the first question SO per cent. voted
yes; on the second, % per cent; on the
third. "a per cent. against extending the

Mexican crude oil is causing Ameri-

from Mexico
During the nscal year Of 1913, we
bought 5lO.G6O,6iI gallons Of crude. BY
1916 ihe importation had increased TO
s693fe.393 gallons. In 1917 there was

large quantities.
Tho point Is, however, that the Mexi-

is admitted free Of duty In competition
