PUBLIC WILL, NOT FORCE,
CAUSES PEACE"--HARDING
tContiaued from Page y

"A hundred years of tranquil re-
l~ationships, through yicissitudes
which elsewhere would have evoked
armed conflict rather than arbitra
ton affords, truly declared James
Bryce, the finest example yer seen in
history of an undefended frontier,
whose very absence of ornaments
itself helped to prevent hostile de-
monstrations: Thus proving bey-
ond question that peace can always
be kept, whatever be the grounds of
controversy, between peoples that
wish to keep it.
There is a great and highly per-
tinent truth, my trends, in that sin
gle assertion. 1t is public will, not
public force, that makes for endur-
ing peace. And is it not a gratifying
circumstance that it has fallen to
the lot of us North Americans, liv-
ing amicably for more than a cen
fury, under different flags, to pre-
sent the most striking example yet
produced of that basis?
Therein lies our best estate. We
profit both mentally and materially
from the fact that we have no de
parted greatness to recover, no lost
provinces to regain, no new terri
tory TO covet, no ancient grudges
to gnaw eternally at the heart of
our national consciousness. Not
only are we happily exempt from
these handicaps OF vengeance and
prejudice, but we are animated r
respondingly and most helpfully by
our better knowledge, derived from
long experience of the blessings of
liberty.
NO, let US 81 our own gaits along
parellel roads, YOU helping us and
we helping you. So long as each
country maintains its independence,
and both recognize their interde-
pendence, those paths cannot fail to
be highways of progress and pros
perity."

The quantity of rubber brought
into the United States in the last
dozen years is 4,254,00O,000 pounds,
and the value nearly 20O0,000,O 900.
The imports of the fiscal year1923
are larger in quantity than those
of any other year in the history of
the rubber trade, having been ap-
proximately 775,OO0,000 pounds
against 568,0OO,OOO in 1922, and
100000 in the high record year
1920. This tremendous growth is
largely due to the increased use
of the automobile, which utilizes
fully three-fourths of the rub
Der imported into the United
States, and as this country i'm
ports fully three-fourths Of the
rubber produced in the world we
may assume, says the Trade Rec
ord, that the American automobile
utilizes over one-half of the rub
Der Of the world. Exports Of rub
Der manufactures have grown from
$l000O,0OQ in 1910 to approximately
$36,000,0O0 in 1923.
A very large proportion of this
enormous and constantly increas-
ing quantity of rubber which we
import comes half way round the
world to get to our factories, for
the Malayan Peninsula and Dutch
East Indian islands, which produce
the bulk of the worlds plantation
rubber, are nearly opposite us or
the other side of the globe. Til.

Thus far the total oil production
Of Insulinde is not large, being less
than three per cent. Of the annual
world production: How much this
may be increased can be disclosed
only as prospecting is developed
over a country rendered difficult by
the dense jungle growth which
now covers the promising oil areas.
There is also a total absence OF
surface indications to guide the
prospector, and in most cases it is
necessary to sink a large number
of trial wells Of considerable depth
to allow reliable measurements of
the underlying strata being made.
Climatic and other local conditions
also test the investigating geolo-
gists and make the work very try
ing. Nevertheless it is known that
large reservoirs OF petroleum do
exist in addition to the centers al
ready producing oil, and it is but a

Development Oil Industry In Dutch
East Indies
The present fields actually pro-
ducing oil are in Sumatra, Java
and in Borneo, with its adjacent
island OF Tarakan. The Royal
Dutch Company for the Working
Of Oil Wells was the pioneer in pc.
troleum operations through its pur-
chase in 1890 Of concession in
the Sultanate Of Langkat on the
northeast coast Of Sumatra. In
fact. the petroleum industry in the
islands is largely a history Of this
company. which began its opera
tons with the modest capital Of
only 100000 guilders. A refinery
was built at Pangkalan Brandan
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-06-26

on the Babalan River, and a pipe
line of six miles to the oil fields
was constructed. In 1898 about
100000 cases Of kerosene were
shipped and in 1898 100000 cases,
followed by heavy falling off in
output. This led to further drill
ing, and after a period Of unsuc-
cessful borings wells sunk in the
Perlak District became productive
and were connected with the re-
finery by 100 miles of pipe lines.
The total output Of the Langkat
and Perlak areas in 1920 was 1884,
412 metric tons.
Another important Samaritan pro-
ducing area is the residency Of Pa
lembang, in the southern part OF
the island, where the Moeara Enim
Company and the Sumatra Palem-
bang Company were organized In
1897. Both these companies came
under the control Of the Royal
Dutch Company after a few years.
The production of the Palembang |
District in 1920 was 23S.127 metric |
tons. For the entire island Of Su-
matra the total production OF the
Royal Dutch Company in 1921 was
564,717 metric tons.
In Java the oil industry was es-
tablished in 1887 by the Dordtsche
Petroleum Maatschappij, a compa-
ny which gradually acquired con-
troll of the most important fields OF
this island. built refineries and car
ried on active development until
1911, when 1t was absorbed by the
Batavia Oil Company, incorporated
at The Hague in 1907 as a result OF
the amalgamation Of the interests
Of the Royal Dutch and the Shell
Transport and Trading Company
The production Of the Java fields
in 1921 was 244,655 metric tons.
