The board is made up OF the Sec
retaries Of War, Navy, Interior and
Commerce. It was appointed in De-
cember, 1924, following the NAL
odorous Teapot Dome and other oil
lands scandal and when, with the
knowledge that there was less than
a ten-year supply of petroleum left
in the United States under existing
conditions the Government found it
imperative to do something to avert
a Nation wide calamity. Good or

for upon it the American Govern
ment intends to shape its future oil

just how depleted our deposits are,
