April 2, 1921.
MIR. william ~. Davis. president Mid
Continent OIL A. Gas association,
Bartlesyille. Okla.
Dear Sir. read with n good deal
OF interest your letter printed In the
Tulsa world. addressed to Mr. Mott
OF Independence. Kan, regarding n
proposed tariff on oil. was dis
appointed, however. in your letter
because you do not make clear tho
position which the Mid Continent
OF a Gas association will take with
rugard to tho proposed tariff and
lax on oils imported into this count
Try An a member OF the OIL A. Gas
association, and as one feeling a
deep interest In the future prosper
iiy OF tho oil industry ia the mid
continent field, | had hoped to see
tho Mid Continent OIL a. Gas asHo-
citation indorsc the proposed tariff
and tax on oils imported into this
country In competition with their
own products.
The Mid Continent oil n Gas us-
socis lion has been IA great service 10
the oil industry, and Is calculated
TO be OF great service In the future,
and I sincerely hope that IL will not
undertake TO doge this Issue, but
that u Will announce definite
policy with regard 90 this question.
Lot the association say whether II
is for tho tariff, whether II IN
against the tariff. or lot Il say that
II is made up OF 80 many OF those
who are Interested In importation OF
Mexican crude that the association
Rs such, is not In position 20 take
any definite position, but every
member Is entitled to know whore
~ Is going TO stand In the matter.
In your letter TO Mr.. Mott. you
state that at n meeting OF tho cxccu-
tive committee OF tho general as
ISOLATION "it developed that no one
present had authentic or definite
knowledge with regard TO the true
situation In Mexico. nor could any
one predict what tho effect OF "a
tariff at any particular rate might
be-"
The apology YOU give to Mr.. Mott
for the association not having gone
on record in tho matter, In not suf-
ficienL II gives one tho impression
that you are undertaking TO cvadc
Tho issue, which I do not believe
that you personally want to DO. The
question at this time Is not one of
detail, many OF us might have diff
forcnt Views as to what measure OF
tariff and tax should be imposed,
thtre are Just three question for tho
Mid Continent oil a. Gas association
to decide, after which detail and
study can be taken up. These quea-
lions are.
First: Docs the Mid Continent
OF a. Gas association favor n tariff
on crude oils imported into this
country which tariff would bo suf-
ficiently high TO prevent the dump
ting OF crude oil from Mexico or any
other country into this country In
such volume as to domorallzC
prices, and TO reduce tho cost OF
producing oil In tho midcontlnent
fields below the, cost Of produc-
ilon?
Second: Does the Mid Continent

broad principle, that oils imported
