TO CONSERVE OIL
Says the Nations Supply May
Be Exhausted Within
Twenty Years.

Observation-Disclosures of a com.
mission to ascertain the best means
OF conserving the nations oil supply
was announced by President Coolidge.
The commission will be entrusted
with review of the situation in each
OF the naval oil reserves and with
ascertaining whether 1t would be pos
sible by assignment Of additional pub
lie land, transfers, trades, purchases,
or otherwise, to create larger or bet.
ter perfected reserves than the pre-
sen ones.
Action was taken by the President
In the appointment of the commission
on the recommendation Of the gen
eral board of the navy.
The President announced the ap-
pointment of the commission in the
following statement:
THE purpose for which the naval
oil lands were set aide was to pro.
vide reserves for the future. In order
to do this in the best manner the oil
should be. wherever possible, retained
In tie ground. Where this is not pos
sible, however, 1t should be retained
In tankage above ground. This oil is
an important part OF the national in
surance.
AT the present rate of production
there is estimated to be but 20 years
OF oil supply within the limits of the
United States, When this is exhaust.
ed we will be dependent upon foreign
sources for our supply In time OF
war such supply will certainly be
jeopardized and possibly shut off,"
