hy Henry l.. I,oherty of New York.
He spoke on Raw Materials of the
Future at the convention OF the
American Gas Association and took
issue with d recent report OF the
American Petroleum Institute
"a committee Of directors of the
institute tarted out with the aNoWed
intention of proving that We had an
ample supply OF natural petroleum.
OIL" he said a careful analysis OF
this report would not convince any
intelligent man that if war should
come again. even within 80 months,
we as a Nation would be certain to
have an adequate supply Of available
petroleum..
Mr.. Doherty said that as the COM
mittee was unable to show that the
Nation has an adequate supply of
natural petroleum. 1t fell back on
the assurance of supply of oil from
shale oil and coal beds.
"They tell US he said. that we can
possibly produce as much as 2,0s5.-
400 900 900 barrels of oil from coal.
Yet they are compelled to admit in
this same report that if all the coal
mined in 1924 had been processed for
oil recovery il would have produced
barely more than 3 per cent of the
total Of all the motor fuel required in
1924
You men are in a much better po-
sition than anybody else to realize
how wholly visionary and impractical
if would be to be compelled to depend
for our oil upon either coal or shale.

The new War Secretary comes into
office with combat experience in the
World War to assist him as we'll as
his work of the last two years in ad-
ministrative problems OF the War De
partment. He was a captain in the
9th Missouri Infantry in 1917. and
later Il lieutenant colonel with the
35th Division in the Argonne and ST
AIihiel offensives.
He was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal and was twice men,
toned in orders for gallantry in ac-
ton. He first entered politics in his
native city, ST. Louis. in 1907, when
he was elected to the old ST. Louis
House Of Delegates. His connection
with civic affairs included service as
park commissioner from 1911 to 1914.
He opposed the late Selden y. Spen-
Ger for the Missouri senatorship in
1920, but was defeated. President
Harding made him a director of the
War Finance Corporation in 1921.
Two years later he became Assistant
Secretary of War, in which post he
was charged by law with developing
complete plans for industrial mobiliza-
ton in the event of war. 1t fell to
him during Mr.. Weeks absence to
deal with such troublesome questions
