WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - No
matter what happens to our domeS-
tic oil supply, the navy will be pre-
pared to operate its battleships, sub
marines and airplanes in case we are
attacked in a future war.
For that assurance the country
can thank Owen J. Roberts and
Alice Pomerene, the special Govern
mcnt oil counsel who recovered the
Elk Hills naval reserve from E. l..
Doheny and the Teapot Dome re-
serve from Harry F. Sinclair.
The navy estimates that 1T has
in the Elk Hills reserve more than
50O,OO0000 barrels of oil. 1t is going
to keep the oil in the ground pend
ing an absolute emergency, which
would only be considered as such II
our own oil supply were exhausted
and if blockade or other develop
ment kept us from importing the
navyS needs.
Pending such an unlikely event
uality, the navy will buy domestic
oil or foreign oil regardleSs-accord-
ing to its present policy-of future
increases in price.
Nevertheless, while the navy may
be sitting pretty" itself, its highest
officers have been alarmed at the
rate at which the country is drain
ing off and using up its available
oil supply. Some of them are OPP
posed to allowing foreign capital to
exploit our oil fields.
The navy began seriously to con-
slider operating its warshipS with oil
in 1911, as it prepared to construct
the Nevada and the Oklahoma.
At that time no other nation had
oil-burning lbattleships and the
heads of the navy figured that We
would have a marine advantage be-
cause we were the one large naval
power with a domestic oil source.
Greater cost was one objection,
but even in 1911 the great deterrent,
as the navy considered switching
from coal to oil, was that it couldn't
look ahead to a continued supply
even for the life Of the Nevada or
Oklahoma, then estimated at tWen-
ty-five years.
A certain supply, dependable i'll
time of war, was essential. 1t APP
peared, however, that President
Roosevelt had long ago looked into
the future and directed the Geo.
logical Survey to study the areas
Of petroleum available for naval
purposes. In 1909 or 1910 President
Taft had set aside areas believed
to have an oil content.
Now the navy told the Geological
Survey that it wanted a definite re-
serve of 25O,O00,OOO barrels and the
survey, which has ever since been
regarded by the navy as one of its
best and most patriotic friends, Sc
lccted some $4,000 acres at Elk Hills.
Soon afterward a reserve at
Buena Vista was made Reserve No.
9 and in 1915 President Wilson set
aside about $500 acres at Teapot
Dome.

In the theatre ell actresses and

she will keep her head bent slightly

nodded to an acquaintance.

though she has Just snubbed her

a much longer stride than her
natural gait.
