TOO LARGE TO BE

the prices are governed by the law
OF supply and demand. He said that
the small producer was Just as essen.

Right now. he said. the big oil com.
panles have ss.oo0.ooO barrels Of

the limit OF storage capacity has
about been reached.
Huge shipments are now made 10
all points In the world. but the Pa.

much better TO curb production now.
