been loaded at the Black Sea port of
Taupse, which is one of the leading
export points for the rich soviet oil
field of Maikop. Under the five-year
plan it is planned to increase the
1927-1928 export of soviet oil of H.
100000 tons to 40,0O0,O0O tons in
1932-1933. Last year it is reported
that the receipts at Baltimore were
9,083,632 barrels of crude oil and
766,301 barrels of refined products.
When the matter was brought to
the attention Of Representative Ham
ilton Fish, of the congressional COM
mittee, for the investigation Of COM
munist activities, he remarked that
Baltimore would undertake any such
enterprise on its own responsibility,
as in case of any such development
it was more than likely that those of
us who formerly opposed any tariff
on petroleum products would unite
with those demanding it."
