INCREASED OIL USE
HITS COAL INDUSTRY
Figures Show Gain in Consump-
ton of Liquid Fuel During
Recent Years.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Commerce Department believes
the major Ill confronting the coal in
dusty today is its displacement by
fuel oil.
The world consumption Of fuel oil
in 1928 Is estimated to have been ap-
proximately 600O00,OO barrels of oil
used for fuel This figure is equivalent
to about 100000 tons of coal.
Domestic consumption Of fuel oil in
the United States in 1929 Appropriated
$4,000 coo barrels on the basis of Bu-
reau Of Mines calculations Imports
into other countries were as follows:
North America. 1,944.000 barrels; Cen
trail America, 1871 900 barrels. of which
the Canal Zone accounted for 6,193, 900
barrels: West Indies, 6,53l 900 barrels
including 5,057,000 for Cuba; Europe,
1900 900 including 1884 900 for Great
Britain; Asia. 16649, 900 barrels. Africa
imported 3,246,000 barrels, New zea-
land 3.0ll 900, and South America
1911 900. These data does not jn-
clude the consumption of fuel oil in pro-
duclng countries nor fuel oil made from
imported crude in others.
Tne Department says large per-
centage of coal entering into interna-
tional trade Is for use in bunkering
steamships. That the export coal trade
mas been affected vitality and adversely
by the adoption of fuel oil under steam
ship boilers is indicated by the follow.

mage OF 45,404,0 900, less than 4 per cent
burned oil; in 1920. world tonnage had

Not New Device.
Exchanging favors by abuse or mis-
use of the public treasury is not new
device to which politicians resort. The
history Of antiquity Is replete with in
stances which substantiate these views.
The middle ages and the present day
do not differ very much from the earlier
periods. except perhaps in the extent
and degree Of the excuses to which
politicians fall prey.
The politician is in constant fear
lest he be obliged to yield his place to
some one else. Public sentiment is
subject to quick and drastic changes.
In order to enjoy the present, he does
not hesitate to mortgage the future.
Let our children and grandchildren
provide, he says, with happy thought
leSsneSs.
Little does he realize that. very often,
the errors which he commits become SO
serious in character and so inexcusable
that the consequences fall upon those
who commit them, rather than upon
their posterity. Thus their fond and
pleasant dreams are shattered and
their castles IN the dlT USSIIOySO
For confirmation of this view let us
consult Siles. late ruler Of Bolivia
Leguia, late President of Peru; Ibanez
erstwhile dictator OF Chile; 1rigoYen,
late chief executive of Argentina, and
Luis. late. President Of Brazil. 1t was
but yesterday that they launched the
most ambitious public works, having
command over millions Of dollars
cheerfully loaned by American bankers
in return for pledges and promises
Today they languish in exile or jail
and American investors hold notes on
which nothing is paid and on which
little can be realized.
Politicians Invoke Flood.
Apres moi lie deluge-after me the

cause he saw a flood coming as a
necessary and inevitable catastrophe
| and as an atonement for all the lgno-
miny of which the monarchy under

with bankruptcy and unbearable tax

The danger lies in the fact that gov

days are often numbered. 1t is for
these reasons that politicians know nc
