u. S. MUST LOOK
FOR OIL SUPPLY
Government Experts Give
Warning That Other
Nations Are Gobbling
Up Available Fields.

The American oil industry is being
encouraged by government experts to
acquire oil reserves against the time
when the great underground reSer-
voirs in the United States viii be run
ming low. Other nations are now
making reservations for the future in
foreign countries, so that unless the
advice of those best informed on the
subject is taken American business,
which is growing more and more de-
pendent each year on petroleum prod
ucts, may wake up some day and find
itself forced to pay toll to other ma
tions as u result OF failure to act now.
Chester Naramore, until recently
chief of the petroleum division of the
United States bureau OF mines, soon
after his return from Europe as
American delegate TO the interallied
petroleum conference, representing
the shipping board, the oil division of
the fuel administration and the Pc
troleum division of the bureau of
mines, admonished the industry that
scouts should be sent into the out
lands of the world to find prospective
ly good oil lands, and that American
capital should develop these foreign
sources of supply.
Economical Use Demanded.
Similar advice is found in an ad-
dress the other day by David White,
chief geologist of the geological sur
yey, before the Society of Automotive
Engineers. He said:
'I'he situation demands not only the
prevention of waste, but the most
economical and efficient use Of our OIL
Also, it warns operators to consider
more thoughtfully and promptly the
acquisition of foreign oil reserves
Mexico. to which the American pub
lie looks with optimistically hopeful
haps very much less-than remains
in the ground in the United States"
The American oil companies that
have seemed to realize the necessity
for acquiring reserves to fall back
upon in other countries, when the
United States oil fields are found to
be playing out, have for the most
part looked to South America and
Mexico. There they have been COM
peting with each other in an inter-
esting way in an effort to get conces-
sions AS a general rule these con-
cessions are as difficult to negotiate
and develop as in many other parts of
the world. ht - t
Such action on the part of the
American industry contrasts quite
sharply with the conduct OF the larg-
est companies in Europe. For exam
pie, the Cowdray interests (English)
and the Dutch Shell interests have
been aggressive in their search for
oil in all parts Of the world, and emf,
nently moro progressive and alert to
the necessity Of acquiring such re-
serves than are the strong and profit
ablA American oil companies.

which the emergency required. This
is perfectly apparent when one con-
siders what was done in the second
session of the Sixty-fifth Congress.
During that session nine of the great
supply bills, to wit--rivers and har-
bors. naval, District of Columbia,
Army, sundry civil, fortifications,
post office and post roads, legislative
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to pass Con-
gress until after June 80, and the ag-
ricultural bill did not finally pass until
October l. Hence, it is not strange
that the session of Congress just
brought to an end failed to accom-
plish in three short months what it
took the previous session ten months
to do.
The fact remains, therefore, that the
work of the Sixty-fift Congress is
unfinished. appropriations for the
Army, Navy, Indian affairs, District of
Columbia, agriculture, sundry civil
expenses and to supply deficiencies in
several departments, aggregating
more than 1881 100000. failed to
pass, and appropriations for these
services must be made before June 80
if the departments of the government
are to function.
Practice Bad One.
The practice of passing continuing
resolutions to meet such exfgencies
should. not be encouraged. for. in
vites the greatest waste and extrava-
gance, especially at this time. when
we should commence to resume nor
NAL conditions and to practice the
strictest economy. The appropria-
tions made for the present fiscal year
were made at time when we were
at war, and are not applicable to the
conditions confronting the next fiscal
year. II cotinuing resolutions are re-
lied upon to supply funds after June
80, such resolutions will certainly
contain a great many exceptions and
notifications, otherwise the extrava-
gance and waste now prevailing In
many Of the departments will be con-
tinued. Appropriations made to carry
on the war cannot be made to- apply
to present conditions. Why should .
situation be created requiring It?

BY FREDERICK H. GILLETT.
Written for The Sunday Star.


TUST now there is all in
terin i'll the Office Of
Speaker, and will be IN
~ til the new Congress
meets. The condition of
legislation makes an extra ses-
sion inevitable, and apparently
the President does not intend to
cali it until about the first of
June. That compe1s the session
to open under very embarrass-
ing conditions. The appropria-
ton bills must be passed before
July /, because the present ap-
preparation bills expire then, and
unless new ones are enacted
there will be no funds with
which to run the government.
Consequently, it is imperative
that the appropriation bills which
failed must become law by the
first of July, and among them
were the three largest, which
provide for ali the main functions
Of the government. That is a
difficult and almost impossible
task.
Judging from the past, it will
REQUIRE from one to two weeks
to organize the House and its
committees, even with the utmost
expedition, and that leaves at
most three weeks in which to
pass those bills which the last
Congress was unable TO pass III
three months. Moreover. the
last Congress was in full accord
with the administration, and,
therefore, naturally, more ready
to accept its recommendations
without investigation than the
next Congress will be.
It seems TO me extremely TN
fair to allow such little time for
such prodigious work. The
President says that it is indis-
pensable that he should be in
Paris at once. As to that | would
not assume to judge. II he says
it is impossible that any other
man or group OF men are capable

Urges Need of Early Extra Session

without his immediate oversight.
The deficiency bill which failed
bad many items for the support
OF the government during the
next three months, without
which many activities will be
seriously crippled. Then. the ap-
preparation for the railroads
failed and that prevents the
United States paying its debts
to innumerabfe contractors all
over the country, and will seri-
ous1y handicap business as we'll
as embarrass the whole railroad
system.
Thus for many reasons it
seems to me most important that
Congress should be called i'll
session very soon. | understand
some Of the democratic leaders
in Congress, who have been the
Presidents strongest supporters,
have urged upon him the neces-
sity of All early session, and for
the sake of the country l earn
estly hope he will follow their
advice.
The problems which the next
Congress faces are most weighty
and difficult. Upon their success
ful solution will depend our in
dustrial prosperity. l believe the
majority is determined to attack
these problems at once with
courage and vigor, III order that
the readjustment OF our indus
tries and the unemployment, of
Dur scattered and disorganized
labor may be speedily effected.
The shelves all over the world
are empty of goods. The fac
tories OF the United States are
hating because Of the uncertain
tv OF the future. To relieve that
condition is the first task OF the
new Congress. The sooner it is
met the better, and [ believe it
will be met with wisdom and
with fearlessness, and that its
results viii command the ap-
proval and confidence OF the
American people.

Who will he chairman of the commft-
tee ON appropriations in the next
Congress-.
A HUGE tasKiconfronts the Sixty
~ sixth Congress. The .ieeisla-
~ tive program for reconstruc-
ton embraces measures of
tremendous Importance. Months will
be required to enact legislation to un-
scramble the railroads and provide for
their organization on solid and sub
stantiai basis.
Legislation of a far-reaching char
acter, to determine a permanent ma
tional policy for our merchant ma
rine, which with construction plants
has cost the government more than
four billions of dollars. is absolutely
necessary Legislation dealing with
the problems of unemployment, the
rehabilitation of our troops and of
our returning soldiers cannot with
justice be longer delayed. It will take
months to enact this legislation alone,
to say nothing of other needed Iegis-
lation to which the Congress must
give early attention. From the view
point, therefore, of enacting necessary
LEGISLATION the President should call
Congress in extraordinary session
without delay.
Huge Supply Bills Failed.
When we consider the condition that
actually confronts the country regard
ing appropriation, bills the necessity
for an early extraordinary session be-
comes imperative. The failure of the
last Congress to. pass many of the
great supply bills and the announced
intention of the President not to call
Congress in extraordinary session un-
til the month of June. is cause for
grave apprehension. Supply bills that
failed to pass the last Congress must
be enacted into law before June 80,
when present appropriations cease to
be available. It was perfectly evident
when Congress met last December
that it could not pass all of the supply
bills before March 4 and that an extra
session of Congress would be neces-
sary. Bills that passed the House,
carrying the following sums. failed of
passage by Congress:

done at the extra session OF Congress,
SO that The people may become IA

How viii the tariff revision affect

Mr. Fordney says in reply: "Prob-
ably the excess profits taxes and war
profit taxes should be discontinued
just as soon as possible. Instead OF
taxing the business OF the country [
believe that the money should be
raised from the incomes OF the indi-

saying the governments hands should
be taken of business. Mr.. Fordney
said: "As q rule the government en-
