FUTURE REDUCTION PETROLEUM

Thomas A. O'Connell, president,
American Petroleum Institute SAYS
The public has been frequently alarm
cd by statements OF well-mean ming and
learned scientists predicting an early
exhaustion OF our petroleum resources,
In some instances giving more or less
definite figures as 10 the supply still
obtainable and setting a time for ex-
haustion within the limits OF the life
time of men now engaged In the busi-
ness
There are many important petroleum
deposits even within the boundaries Of
the United States that these men have
not yet located or taken into their cal
culations.
Petrleum IL widely distributed
throughout the world and, believe. In
sufficient quantities 10 meet the re-
qulrements, present and future, and II
the economic law of supply and de-
mand Is given a free opportunity to
assert itself, artificial. political and
government restrictions are removed,
allowing everybody frOm everywhere
10 participate In the prospecting and
production necessary, there will be
plenty OF oil to meet the requirements
in all parts OF the world for many gen
Ierations 10 come.
An assurance, however, OF stable
property rights and private ownership

or. with his vision OF wealth, TO get
busy.
Increased prices have always result
ed In increased activity OF the wild
cater, which in return has resulted not
only in producing sufficient oil to meet
the demands but In bringing about an
over-production. There Is nothing pro-
duced by man anywhere 80 responsive
10 the economic laws of supply and re-
mand as petroleum. In the past the
activity OF the wild-catter within the
boundaries OF the United States during
the period Of increased prices has al
ways been sufficient to meet the de-
mands, but the time has arrived when
II is necessary and desirable 10 have
Il worldwide activity in order TO meet
the requirements Of the future. This

ments Of the world. by change In the

existing. and allowing a free opportu.
nifty for everybody from everywhere
to participate in the necessary de-
yelOpment.
Nature has left few earmarks ON the
surface TO indicate the exact locality
Of petroleum deposits. and they must
be located by the activity OF the pros
pectOr or wild-catter, which, in the az
gnegate, means thousands OF failures
with comparatively few successes.
Each successful wild-catter. however.
means the discovery Of q new deposit
and an important addition 70 the

belief in great profit In the event of
success, an assurance OF property
rights and freedom from possible gov

FRICTION WITH JAPAN

japan is poor but ambitious and
Uncle Sam stands In the way OF the
little yellow men In their fight for
money and power. The United States
many years ago established certain pol
Icies intended to promote trade between
Eastern Asia and the great commercial
p5wers on an equal footing and also to
prevent the unjust partition OF China.
Japan Is lmperialistic and proposes to
gain special advantages In Asia and Is
not at all particular about the methods
to be employed.
Japan is over populated and Is i'm
p0yished as TO natural resources.
America represents the only restrain
ing influences to her expansion into
fertile and untitled fields. The Japan
sses people realize that a war with
America would be disastrous TO japan.
The very fact that such war is I'm
possible makes the Nipponese all the
more resentful Of American influence
IN Asia.

House Divided Against Itself.

He who sits above the waterfloods
is still working out His ways, and
mans extremity is, as ever, Gods OPP
portunity. But if we are to be real
sharers in this task of divine recon
struction, and fulfilling of Gods pur-
poses for the human family, it be-
hooves us to do our utmost by prayer
and effort to repair the breaches which
human waywardness has wrought in
that instrument which He has de-
signed, and through which He has cho-
sen especially to work out humanitys
salvation-the church of the living
God, the One, Holy, Catholic and Apos-
tolic Body of Christ. For until these
wounds are healed the church must
present herself as a house divided
against itself; and, because the Saw
ior's prayer for a unity in the "one
fold" remains unfulilled, His enemies
continue to triumph, and the forces
which make for righteousness are
thwarted.-BishOp Howden.
