DEPLETED U. $. . OIL RESERVES
 CAUSES ALARM
40 Per Cent. Of Producing Fields Are Exhaused,
 Officials Declare

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Interests of the United States in the race for the oil supply of the world as em- bodied in the report of the state department submitted by President Wilson to the Senate last week has arisen from the alarming depletion of oil reserves in the United States.
 While this country contributed 69 percent of the oil supply of the world 40 per cent of its producing fields have been exhausted and, ac serves remaining in the United States are not expected to last 20 years.
 Of the reserves of this country foreign interests control but 4 per. cent, despite the fact that the United States is the only oil producing country in which citizens and for eigners are permitted to participate in oil production on even terms.
 Americans Excluded
 Notwithstanding this "open door, policy, officials said American inter ests are excluded in Australia. Bar bardos. British East Africa, British Guina, Burmah Dutch East Indies, Egypt, France, Algeria, India, Japan, Mesopotamia, Palestine. Persia, Trim idad and the United Kingdom.
 In Mexico which ranks second In oil production in the world and there by controls the balance of power according to official estimates. Am, erican concerns hold controlling in terests in 60 percent of the producing fields.
 Potential interests of the British however, have shown a steady in- crease throughout the world since 1914 At the beginning of the war British control was estimated at only 2 percent while today the British admiralty is said to reckon at about 56 per cent
 New Board Planned
 Organization of the United States oil corporation modelled on the plan of the shipping board to encourage and stimulate development by Amer jeans of oil lands outside of the United States will be authorized under a resolution introduced by Senator Phelan, Democrat of Cal ifornia.
 Senator Phelan cited efforts being made by Great Britain to assist her nationals in the development of new oil resources. England now con trols 60 per cent of the "oil poten- tialities" of the world, he said.
