U.S.GEDLOGtSTS
PLAN TOLEAD IN
OIL RESEARCHES
New Exhaustive Survey Being
Made in All Southern
Republics.
BY w. II. ATKINS,
international, News Service.

The United States will lead the
world in developing new petroleum
fields, under the present programme
Of American biologists. The Gov
ernment's own geologists have been
thrown out into new areas on the
North and South American con-
tinents, searching for new oil
sources. These experts warn that
the oil supply of the future will
diminish fast unless new oil fields
in Latin America are soon found
and developed.
Extensive geological surveys are
to be made of the Latin American
republics to determine the location
and extent of new and valuable
petroleum resources. American
engineers are on the ground in
Colombia. British experts are also
there. but Americans have the in
side track at this time. Colombia
10 regarded as a fertile field for
exploitation and for geological study.
In Colombia the plan contem-
plates the mapping and examina-
tion Of the upper part Of the Mag
dalena Valley and the regions ad-
Joining the far western Venezuela
border, and especially the southern
tnter-mountain valleys and foothills
Of the east flank of the Andes.
Much in Mexico.
Government surveys Of the oil
wealth Of the continent thus have
developed these salient points:
In Mxico the oil resources in the
ground which are recoverable by
present methods are estimated at
$500 900 900 barrels from the dis.
covered fields, and are estimated to
be about 5,750,000, 900 from all
fields.
Favorable results of recent tests
on the west in Mexico make North
Central Guatemala an inviting
region for oil prospectus, biologists
declared. Oil territory in Nicaragua
and Honduras is greatly restricted,
but the coastal plan of Costa Rica
has lately received considerable at
tention from biologists, with prom
ise Of good results. Prospective oil
territory also is limited in Panama.
More in South America
Government geologists' invesuga-
tons show that oil interests in
South America now lie chiefly in
the belt embracing the Andean
system in the northern and western
regions of the continent. In north
ern South America principal oil
regions are believed to be in inter
mountain valleys and on the eastern
flank of the Andean region.
Experts estimate that while the
oil reserves OF the United States
amount to little more than 9,000,-
600 900 barrels at the present mo-
ment, by present methods used in
recovering petroleum, the aggre-
gate amount of oil in the ground to
be recovered in South America is
likely to exceed $4,000 900, 600
barrels

Impressions Of Palestine.

Mills, CAL, Sept. %" That
the name Palestinian should
be applied by England to in
habitants of Palestine today
is significant, for by the use of
this term the British govern
ment is attempting to elimi-
nate the race prejudice found
in the Holy Land" said Pro-
fessor Earl Garfield Linsley,
professor of geology and
geography at Mills college, in
addressing the student body
on his Impressions of Pales-
tine This youngest child
Of the league Of nations has
definite ideas, and the over
whelming majority of Arabs
living in Palestine emphasize
their blood connection with
their neighbors to the north,
the Syrians, and wish to
become a united kingdom.
For this purpose the ruler of
the little. country of Hafaz has
been working for years.
Professor Linsley empha-
sized the limitations of the
country, its soilless areas
where erosion during the cen
turtles has cut deep burrows
and made the country barren,
the evil resultant upon the
emitting of all timber, the dis
appearance of vegetation
because of the focks of sheep,
'hoofed locusts," as Tohn
Muir called them, and lastly
the willingness of the people
toSuse the same crude agri- ]
cultural implements their an /,
sestors have used for the last {
1000 years. /
There is every indica- |
ion, said Professor Linsley, &
that many of the barren :
faces today were once fertile
Ields, and that the water o. o.
apply was adequate for agri- SC
ulture. Los Angeles has as "
