some honor to this great statesman by

MILL POND WON'T DO
 FOR NEXT NAVAL SCRAP
(Rx International News Service.)

(By International News Service.)
 ' Washington, May The world s next great naval battle, if there ever is one, will not be staged in a mill pond, so to speak.
 Figures presented to Congress by Secretary of the Navy Denby show that the future naval battles of "civilization" will be Gargantuan in proportions. The opposing fleets, to an observer high in the air. will re semble two monsters, their bodies hundreds of miles long, flashing at each other and whirling about in the sea.
 The modern fleet, in battle forma- tion extends for about 300 miles over the sea and is about eighty miles broad Obviously an engagement be- tween two such columns, turning and winding around each other over the ocean, will require a considerable with lots of room for the by islanders to run for cover.

SOUTH AMERICA
 RICH IN OIL

Washington, DEG, May 1-Oi1 re-
 sources to the extent Of more than
 13, 900, 100000 barrels. or about one
 fifth of the worlds total supply, await
 development in the practically virgin
 fields of South America, according to
 Dr. David White, of the United States Geological Survey.
 With the possible exception of North America, Dr. White declares, the South American continent is richer in petroleum resources in pro portion to its area than any other sec tion of the world.
 Geologic explorations have as yet advanced only a little way in South
 America said Dr. Ighite. Thus far
 only 9 few regions, have been tapped. Geologists have secured evidence.
 however of the existence of high grade petroleum deposits in the conS tinent, and these deposits apparently are very widely disseminated. American Statistics. The American oil expert places the figures for the South AmeriCan oil deposits at 13,O00.O0O.OO0 barrels. though he admits that this is a very conservative estimate. Provided the same methods of drilling were em- ployed as those used in the United States, pr. White believes the south ern fields would produce 15,000, ,00O,- 900 barrels.
 The worlds petroleum resources are estimated by Dr. White at about 60, 900, e00, 900 barrels, and with these figures most of the other eminent geo1ogists agree. It therefore ap- pears that approximately one-hfth of the worlds estimated supply of petroleum awaits the exploitation of the South American fields. Not Aware of Deposits.
 In many South American countries
 the inhabitants are not generally
 aware of the existence of the oil de-
 posits according to Dr. White. This is due to the fact that the work of
 exploration has been done for the most part by geologists retained by the great oil companies and that they have reported only to their em- ployers.
 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 continent is on the verge of an unexampled era of development.

 By an astute financial move the rough diamond market has been eliminated. so that it is absolutely impossible for a single rough dia- mOnd to be purchased direct any where in the world outside two books of buildings-one on either side of Hclborn Viaduct, London
 For long time the output Of the worlds diamond mines has been falling more and more into few CT hands. but there remained, up to a few days ago, at least two big chan nels of disposal, and there was com don and Antwerp.
 South Africa's output passed through English channels and was handled by the South African dia- n.ond syndicate in London. The Congo output was handled by an other syndicate, which was outside the trust '''
 The AngIo-American syndicate, in which the Morgans are largely inter e=sted, recently bought the German has taken over the Congo group, which has it's centre at Antwerp. It also has just purchased Congo dia- nonds to the value Of S,000,0O francs.
 By the agreement just reached the Anglo-American syndicate and the South African syndicate have de- c'ded to work entirely together.
 In future London will be the only channel through which the rough dia- mond can reach the 1apidary. This means that the market will always be held up strongly and destroy and chance of a slump in the prices of diamonds.
