rise to a great international struggle
for political and commercial control
Of the worlds resources, and have
caused the United States to take an
active part in that effort. Petroleum
has probably played a more important
role in international politics in the
last fifteen years than any other COM
modify.
From the standpoint of American
interests, the outstanding features of
the contest for the control of the
worlds reserves have been the rivalry
between American and British Dutch
companies for concessions in foreign
fields, particularly in the Near East,
and the efforts on the part of certain
countries to nationalize their oil re-
sources in order both to conserve their
supplies and to prevent foreign con-
troll.
The LOng-Term Prospect
The fundamental fact in the petro-
leum situation is that oil is a wasting
asset; and the unminded reserves in
this country have been so greatly de-
pleted that the indicated approach of
approximately exhaustion cannot be
ignored. 1t is now believed that most
of the domestic resources have been
so thoroughly tapped that the ex-
pansion of output cannot continue
much longer and that the near future
will witness the beginning Of the in
evitable decline.
There is nothing in this condition
to occasion immediate alarm. The
worst that may be expected in the
measurable future is an increasing re-
lance in this country upon foreign oil
reserves and ultimately higher prices.
Fortunately, the known world de-
posits are ample for prospective needs
for many years to come, and future
discoveries may add greatly to
the available resources. Meanwhile,
against the rapidly expanding require
ments may be placed possible new
processes and inventions which would
introduce hitherto unknown economies
in the preparation of petroleum prod
ucts and in their utilization.
These considerations do not, how
ever, justify a needless and prema-
ture exhaustion of a leading natural
resource, but indicate the necessity
of a progressive adaptation of the in
introduce hitherto unknown economies
requirements, with a reasonable re-
gard for the welfare of future gener-
atoms.

Conditions in the Petroleum
Industry

The recent drastic reductions in the
prices of gasoline r the natural con-
sequence and expression Of a situa-
ton which has been in process of de-
velopment for at least two vars, states
the current issue of the Guaranty Sur
vey, published in New York.
The over-production of oil during
this preiod, and the resulting accumu-
lation of stocks of crude petroleum
and its products, have been regarded
with growing concern, the Survey
says. Although the present "price
war" began with the retailing of gas
cline by an official of a western state,
there has been ample evidence that a
general fall in oil prices was immi-
nent.
Clearly, relief must be sought eth
er in reduced production of crude oil
OF in increased consumption of oil
products. For many reasons the most
desirable mean of accomplishing a
c%urtainment of output would be vol
untary concerted action on the part
of the producers themselves. But the
type of organization which prevails
in this branch of the industry such
a solution virtually Impossible, and
the necessary reduction of output will
probably come as a result of extreme
low prices, making the operation of
many wells Improbable. Restriction
Of purchases by the refineries may
offer the most immediate and effec-
tive ear of curtaining crude oil
production, with a minimum of en-
barrassment for all concerned.
Heavy Investment Required
1t is becoming increasingly evident
that within a few years either our
consumption of oil products must be
greatly curtailed or we must become
dependent on other countries for the
greater part of our requirements
not because of the immediate exhaus-
ton of our oil resources, but because
of the impossibility of maintaining
our present rate of output without an
investment in new wells and equip
ment which is out of the question so
long as oil prices remain near their
present levels.
The impending decline of American
production, the increasing dependence
of industry and commerce upon an
adequate supply of oil for fuel and
lubricants, and the fact-brought out
so clearly by the war-that petroleum
is now a military necessity, have given

LLOYD GEORGE MAKES A FINE START

In introducing Mr.. Lloyd George to his first audience in the
United States, former Secretary of War Baker evidently took his
cue from former British visitors and announced that "Mr. LLOYD
George has come to tell us how best we can catch up with the
wars consequences, restore international financial stability, set
mems hands to work again and their hearts to singing" But the
distinguished Briton quickly dispened the illusions of Mr.. Baker
when he said, "t would be an impertinence for me to bring a
message to America, to tell America what to do" He then pro-
ceeded to congratulate Americans on their aid to the allies in the
war, their quick recovery from the wars effects, and their ability
to blend in a generation races that are in constant discord in
Europe. He declared that the plan of Secretary Hughes for a set

HARD-HEADED HAYSEED

Senator Magnus Johnson, of Minnesota, the Swedish American
farmer VINO has been added to the Progressive bloc from Mime
sofa, has been in New York and was quite a disappointment to the
radical Reds and yelling Fellows.
The s~oft-handed intellectuals and whitecollar and pink-tea
.parlor revolutionsts did not get much satisfaction out of the legis-
lator, who is a landowner and has worked hard all his life.
He baked at any of their ideas of social revolution, dividing
up wealth and lands and the Soviet dictatorship of the proletariat
that is trying to establish itself upon the necks of the American
people.
Of course the b~oshevistc elements, who are trying to ride
into power by a fusion of the farmer and labor votes, are anxious
to grab some such man for a political stalkinghorse.
Senator Johnson does not seem at all willing to fall for any
form of radicalsm and is not posing as one who would lead the in
articulate masses with a torch in one hand and a bomb in the other.
Get out your tax receipts and see how much you pay to the
federal government and how much to state and local governments.
Then you will know where to begin with your demand for lower
taxes.
