japanese Have Oil
Problem to Solve

Toxic, Dec. 10.-Certain tnflu-
ential government officials are un-
derstood to have taken steps to-
ward the formulation of an oil
policy for Japan. The problem is
periodically put forward as a most
urgent one from the standpoint of
national defense. Officials of the
finance and navy departments and
the department of commerce and
agriculture are understood to have
given great consideration to this
most important subject. From
1916 to 1919 the annual output Of
petroleum fell by regular stages
from 2,661,000 koku Zone koku
equals 47.65SS9 U. S. gallons) to
100000 koku, with imports ris-
Ing in proportion. The following
table shows in thousands Of koku
