 DEMOCRATS HAVE BECOME MILITANT
From Now on Until Next EIec- ton It Is Expected They Will Always Be on

By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 800 Davidson Building


 Washington, June .-tSpecial.l- Democrats in the House and Senate have become militant and from this date until the next national election it may be expected that they will be always on the offensive.
 Tn the beginning of the session the democrats concluded to hold their peace and await developments ito support the majority party when it was correct and oppose it when it sought to ride over the rights of the people. This strategy lulled the republicans into dream that all was well and there was no necessity for action.
 And now the democrats are charg- ing and proving that the republicans, having made brave promises, are un-

 dozen or more specimens of the pest were brought to the city Friday by Sam Borders. a rural letter car rier at eArmanville, reports from that section of the county being to the effect that only three days are required for the ruination of fields of potatoes.

DEVELOPMENT OF
 NEW FIELD URGED.
Declares U. s. Must Depend Principally Upon Mexican
 Oil for Future
By Associated Press

Washington, June 1T.---J. A. Phelan of the shipping board staff urges In his recent report on the Mexican oil Porter of the House foreign affairs committee that since the proven oil field in Mexico lis fast going into salt water" the American govern ment either directly and by CO., operation with American capital at once proceed to develop oil fields in that country, adding
 That the potential production of Mexico Is almost unlimited is be- yond question"
 MT. Phelan discussed at length conditions in the present fields and presents the following under the heading of Recommendations"
 That sthe proven oil field in Mex ,eo within a reasonable period is certain to go into salt water is a demonstrated fact, and this may come sooner than expected. 1nas much IS the consumption of oil In the United States increased from 200. 000,000 barrels to 50oi00o,00O bar rels in 10 years, it is certain that this country will have to depend upon foreign oil and principally Mexican oil for fuel purposes in the future.
 'As the American merchant ma r!ne is fast going into fuel oil, 1t is necessary that this supply be assured This means that the American gov ernment either directly and by CO., operation with American capital a. cnce proceed to develop oil fields in Mexico. That the potential produc- ton of Mexico is almost unlimited fig beyond question hut the proposi- ton should not be delayed until after the present fields are exhausted. It takes years of time and fortune in money to develop an oil field
 The United States is confronted with an oil situation in Mexico to- day. Now is the time for decisive ac- ticn."
 MT. Phelan's report, under date O. June 13, was prepared py direction of Rear Admiral Benson, former chairman of the Shipping Board anG transmitted to Chairman Porter at Mir. Porter's request
 The report is based" MT Phelan says, almost entirely on actual ob . servations in Mexico which includes a personal inspection of the proven and potential fields, study of deveI- epment, salt water enroachment, dry holes. pipe line transportation lacili- l ties, refining and topping plants, oil tank facilities and other things need l ed in making an authoritative re- l port.

it now admitted by Senator Shoot their financial wizard that they can do neither. The spending the next fiscal year, as Senator Borah demon- strated. will be greater than the present fiscal year; whereas, if they carry out their promises to the sol diers and vote a bonus, the total ap- propriations will amount to approxi- mately s7,000, 900, 900.
 They must face this situation in the congressional elections and in the presidential election. The demo- cratic record, for use in those cam. paigns is being made in the Senate and chiefly by Senator Underwood, the democratic leader. The present militant spirit is not due to a me- thodical programme, but solely as a consequence of events.
