GASOLINE GOING
UP,REF| NERS
ASSERT
Predict Price Jump in. Spring
When Present Surplus Has
Been Exhausted.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August L.
Greatly increased prices for gasoline
and crude oil by next spring were
predicted today by oil refiners from
mid-continent fields, meeting here to
decide upon a plan of meeting prob.
lens facing the industry.
Samuel B. Collins, of Tulsa, vice
president of Marland & Company,
was among those who predicted
higher prices. He said that tenn
porary overproduction would be
eliminated by spring, and that the
decrease in supply would necessarily
increase the price.
The refiner, Collins said, is paying
1920 a barrel for crude oil. Added
to this is % per cent pipe line
charge, and cost of refining
amounting to 20 cents a barrel. The
cost to the refiner of putting a bar
rel of gasoline on the market is
$2.S5, Collins said.
The refiner sells to the distributor
gasoline at nine cents a gallon, when
it actually costs him IL cents to pro-
duce 1t, he declared.

This is the belief today OF
Giuseppe Fatterini, chief engineer
Of the Vacuum OIL Company in
Italy, who sailed for home.
Electrical propulsion from shore
stations will come to pass within
fifty years, was the belief of Fat
terini.
Recent experiments in Germany
and France of driving an airplane
by electrical energy furnished from
the ground" said Fatterini, "paves
the way for experiments for driving
steamships across the ocean by

as to assail the japanese army,
and Moscow statesmen probably fail
to realize that. such action is very
difficult for old-line Japanese to
accept. In this one point there is
not alone involved the success Of
the conference. There is also the
possibility that a fall of the Kato
ministry, the destruction Of the
Seivukai party as a strong factor
in japanese politics, and the COM
plete overturning of Japan's tradi-
tional submission to the rights of
her army and navy may come
about if Japan acceded to this
Russian principle.
Japs Resent Stand.
While there is good reason to
believe that Moscow will withdraw
this contention and will accept re-
sponsibility with agreement to pay
for Nikolaievsk, this one clause of
the agenda of A. A. Joffe, the
Soviet envoy, has caused some con-
sternation among old-line japanese,
If Joffe does succeed in bringing
about such an admission of error by
Japan, for Japan's army, to Joffe
will go all credit for accomplish
ing the hitherto impossible. But

credit will be Joffe's portion.

By DUKE N. PARRY.
International News Service.

TOXIC, Aug. Japan will not
agree to the Russian claim that
Japanese soldiers in Siberia have
In the slightest way damaged Rus
sian property. In this refusal,
which seems to be Japan's last
word regarding a Russian claim for
the (prospective) third Russo-Jap-
anese conference, is contained the
Key to success or failure for the
meeting. The Russian claim that
japanese soldiers have damaged
property in Siberia comes as a
counter claim to the Japanese de-
mand that Moscow must accept re-
sponsibility for the massacre Of
Japanese soldiers in Nikolaievsk,
by Russians, in 1920. Japan claims
! huge indemnity, or at least agree
mept to an arrangement by Moscow

massacre. Moscow, in answer, in
directly attacks the japanese army
by suggesting that the japanese
soldiers have done things equally
bad In Siberia to those done by the
russians who caused the Niko-
la1evsk massacre.
In addition to the fact that the
russian claim is doubtful as to the
justice Of it, the claim goes so far
