PrOfiteering
In Oil

THE Federal Trade Commission in Its
report to Congress, emphasized the
point that the recent advances In prices
of crude and refined oils were natural result
of increased demand, coupled with the
difficulty experienced by the oil companies
in getting adequate supplies of crude.
Other factors contributing were increased
costs of drilling producing and operating
generally; also the influence of the unfavor-
able Developments in Mexico IN the last
few months.
The official statement of the commission is
refreshing to those who are familiar with
the conditions.
Not only does no profteering exist at the
present time, but facts demonstrate that
there has been disposition the part of
the oil industry to take advantage of any of
the circumstances which might have just-
fed price advances.
During the war, the entire petroleum in
dustry united to hold down prices, even at
the risk of actual loss.
During recent transportation difficulties,
while strikes actually created shortage of
gasoline in some parts of the country, never
theless price advances did not take place.
The value to the public of such highly
trained organization as that maintained by
the Standard Oil Company Qndana) is
obvious. Anticipating and preparing for
difficulties in refining and distribution of
petroleum products are some of the func-
tons Of this Company.
