AMERICA MUST LOOK

Standard Oil Co. Worried Over
 Petroleum Situation

AsON hc <thhti can petroleum industry must look in the future to foreign countries for it's raw material and cannot close its eyes to a potent of obstruction that looms in its way due to the atti- tude of foreign governments, Presi- dent Walter C. Teagie, of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey told the American Petroleum Institute here O. day.
 Certain governments. their reafiza- ton of tho importance of petroleum quickened by the war are not only essaying to enter the oil business themselves but also directly to en- gross tho sources of supply and re- serve the development of such sources to their own citizens. com panies and capital MT. Teagle said. The speak CT claSsed these measures as tending to the establishment of a system which we believe unjust, injurious and unwise.'
 He mentioned England, France, Japan and Mexico in connection with his presentation of the situation
 Essentially. MT. Teagle said. the American industry has to face the problem of production. During the present year. he estimated the United States will consume 445,00o.o0o bar rels of crude oil produced within the nation and import 12o,oo0.ooo bar rels additional from Mexico.
 These figures matter little, but the tendency is all important MT. Teagle said. Ut emphasizes the reI- atively smaller part of our home pro- iuction Is going to play in the fu- ture.
 "our British friends in endeavoring
  ment has taken since the armfsttce, have argued that as the United States is now supplying 70 per cent. of the worlds current production we should be we'll content with things as they are. This is an entirely fallac- ious view. h it reasonable to ask that America is to go heedlessly on to the quick exhaustion of their own supply and then retire from the oil business? The American petroleum industry cannot accept such con- It must look to the devel- opment of petroleum outside the United Statea''
 AS examples of Foreign govern ments literally placing obstacles in assist in the development of new

France and Italy defin- ing spheres of influence in Turkey which Is susceptible of diplomatic in- ouiry as to it's true meaning"
 Pointing out that the United States had never limited aliens in exploiting oil resources within it's territory or reserved subsoil rights in privately owned land Mir. Teagle said it might be forced as a matter of self-protec- ton to consider the adoption of meas ures reciprocally to consider it's pe- troIeum resources for it's own peo- ple." and stop the supply of present day petroleum products to other na- tions.
