SOUTH AMERICA
HAS OIL FIELDS
IN ALL SECTIONS
UndeveIoped Territory Mostly
Unknown to Natives
Ceologist Reports.
by HARRY l.. ROGERS.
International News Service.

OIL resources to th~ extent Of
more than $4,000, 900 800 barrels, or
about one-fifth of the wotld's total
supply. await development in the
practically virgin fields OF South
America, according to DIR. David
White. of the United States Geo
logical Survey.
With the possible exception Of
North America. DIR. White declares,
the South American continent is
richer in petroleum resources in
proportion to its area than any
other section of the world.
Geologic explorations have as yet
advanced only little way in South
America" said DIR. White. Thus
far only a few regions have been
tapped. Biologists have secured
evidence of highs grade petroleum de-
poslts in the continent, and these
deposits apparently are very widely
disseminated"
American Statistics.
The American oil expert places
the figures for the South American
oil deposits at $4,000 .000, 900 barrels.
though he admits that this is a very
conservative estimate. Provided the
same methods of drilling were en-
ployed as those used in the United
State, DIR. White believes the south
ern fields would produce $4,000. .000.-
900 barrels.
The worlds petroleum resources
are estimated by DIR. White at about
90, 900, 900, 900 barrels. and with
these figures most Of the other
eminent geologists agree. II there
fore appears that approximately
one.fifth OF the worlds estimated
supply OF petroleum awaits the
exploitation OF the South American
fields.
Not Aware OF Deposits.
In many South American coun-
tries the inhabitants are not gen
orally aware OF the existence OF the
oil deposits. according to DIR. White.
This is due to the fact that the
work of exploration has been done
for the most part by biologists re.
tained by the great oil companies,
and that they have reported only
to their employers.
Some indications OF the presence
OF oil in paying quantities have been
found in practically every country
of South America, the doctor says,
and he predicts that the whole con
tinent is on the verge OF an un'
exampled era OF development.

In spite of its discomfort. labor In
the United States draws wages so
much higher than II draws In Eu-
rope that comparison seems foolish.
Yet the things which this high.
priced labor makes go abroad ana
compete In price with the products
of iow-priced labor In European
lands. Why?
Because at present there IL more
honest industry among American
workers than among the workers OF
any other people; because with all
the decentralization OF the war
American labor as a whole is more
accustomed than other labor to give
what's due for value received In
wages; because there Is more honest
effort here to face the troubles OF
the times and conquer than else
where.
