The Government has begun an inquiry
into the high cost of gasoline. A rapid
climb from "a to 2s cents a gallon in
one month has brought many complaints.
which have been rererred> to Attorney
General Daugherty with requests for
action.
There has been filed with the Depart
ment latest reports of oil resources
showing the United States to-day has
the largest reserve supply OF gasoline
IN its history. This Is supplemented
by other reports compiled by the Geo
logical Survey. indicating that produc-
tion Is very high and probably will con-
tinue so indefinitely.
Threats of the oil interests that gaso-
line prices may go still higher Is re-
garded by the Department of Justice as
an adverse factor in the high cost Of
living problem. To what extent the
gasoline prices may be the result OF con-
spiracy to fix prices or is due to unlew-
full combinations in restraint Of trade
the Attorney-General will seek to de-
termne.
Department officials asserted that ap-
parently gasoline distributors had taken
advantage of a larger seasonal demand
for gasoline, and on the strength of this
alone jumped the price. No other rea-
son is advanced. Members of Congress
also suspect that this is at the basis
of the boost and have so informed the
Attorney General.
Unless Mn Daugherty is able to get
at the root of the matter II Is probable
that Congress may order an investiga-
tion OF its own.
More than 100000 automobile users
are interested in the outcome of the
Government investigation. Government
experts estimate the annual gasoline bill
Of automobile users in the United States
at more than $1,000. 100000 a year, and
officials may find it necessary to so
minutely Ito the breiness practice of
the oil concerns over receding years.
In former years rising gasoline costs
were explained by the oil interests on
the ground of diminishing reserves. Sup
ply and demand. however. cannot be
advanced in the PRESENT situation ac-
cording to Government geological ex-
perts.

French Resent Accu.ation..

GENOA, May IL (Associated Press) -
The French resent accusations that they
tried to wreck the conference: they assert
that the present situation justifies their
views that the Russian problem has not
been sufficiently studied and that some
thing more should have been done to ap-
proximate the views OF the Russians
with the representatives Of non-commun-
tstistates before hoping to reach a gen.
eral sweeping accord at Genoa. In other
words, they believe that the Russian
problem, through investigation by q COM
mission which will probably visit Rus
STA, is being attacked row in a proper
and logical manner. and they therefore
approve the contemplated procedure.
Should an attempt be made to drop the
Russians from the mixed commission
which they themselves proposed. 1t is
believed it will seriously endanger the
chances OF the success OF preliminary
truce. as the Russians will not adhere
10 this under such circumstances.
The italian leaders declared tonight
that If the conference. as anticipated,
proves to be the Introductory step to
the settlement Of the Russian problem
and the general reconstruction of
Europe it will have achieved its pur-
pose and justified Its existence.
1t is understood that the feeling
that the work of the proposed Russian
commission must be clearly defined.
Everybody tonight seems determined
not to leave this city until something
constructive has been accomplished to
prepare the way for a solution Of
Europes troubles. NJ. Tchitcherin left
Genoa early this afternoon carrying
the truce project to Santa Margherita,
where the full Russian delegation took
it under consideration.
Must Keep On. British View.
A statement of the British view on
the Russian reply to the allied memo

stupid from the viewpoint of Russian
interests" but says Great Britain is
mot prepared to adopt the view that
Europe is to be denied peace or the
Russian people further consideration In
their miserx.simply because OF stupid
argument"
',As far as Russia is concerned" con-
tinlIes the statement, help will un-
donbtedly be delayed and rendered more
difficult. but that Is an affair OF the
Russian Government. We are quite
prepared to go into the suggestion that
the questions OF credits. debts and pri-
vate property be referred to a mixed
commission which will study them in
detail and eventually report. although
tnis. means that Russia will have to
walt some time longer for credits.
-'Regardjng the other aspect OF the
Russian document. namely. the peace
OF Europe. this affords a satisfactory
basis for further negotiations. To
break on this document would mean
that the States bordering on Russia
might be exposed to the dangers OF
War and peace be fundamentally dis
turbed''
