The offer was made by Frederick

While the governments petroleum
fields at Comodoro RivadaYia are
producing approximately 100000 tons
oG petroleum annually. the fuel
shortage in the nation has given
rise to agitation for more extensive
development. a dispatch from Lon

that President Irigoyen expressed
himself as anxious for Increased pro-

to see the exploitation taken out OF

a Proclamation of Neutrality

THE forces of prohibition will concentrate
1 their resources upon the election OF
bonc-dry Congress this fall and so far as
organized effort goes. will take a middle
of-thc-road attitude toward the two major
candidates for the presidency. This is the
burden OF announcement made by the Anti
Saloon League. Neither Harding nor Cox
is wholly satisfactory to the drys, it is as
sumcd. but neither is enough wctter than
the other to make an issue between them
worth while
In this fashion the prohibition interests
dismiss the wet and dry issue as between
the two great parties. They see no occa-
sion excuse for taking sides against
either nominee. although they announce
that the league will issue a bulletin Civ
ing tho records and uttcrances OF the presi-
that the voters will be able to reach their
own conclusions when this information is
in their hands" Already, however. Pro-
hibition party Headquarters has issued
statement branding Harding as voting
wet on thirty occasions and lodging the
issue thousand times, with never a vote
for the ''drys"
1t is perhaps a matter Of good political
judgment on the part Of the Anti-Saloon
League to remain on the fenco as between
the two presidential candidates. TO sun
port ono and condemn the other probably
would array all the liberals on one side of
the line without arraying all the drys on
the other. AS it is, the league will be in
a position after November of saving II
mas won, no matter which candidate loses,
provided it has elected a dry Congress.
