LEADERSHIP URGED

ion Is More Powerful Now Than
Ever Before in History.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
MONTREAL. October 15.-Premier r
B. Bennett in an address at McGill
University yesterday called on the Do
minion to march fearlessly' to meet
better economic conditions.
Some nation. he said in acceptance
of degree Of doctor of laws, must lead
the way back to prosperity. why
should it not be Canada?" he chal-
lenged.
Canada" he said, "is more powerful
today than ever before. Why then
cannot we go forward again?
If we were without resources, il our
people, too weak to be governed, aban-
doned government and plunged into So
cial and political chaos, then we would
have to wait until some stronger hand
lifted us from the morass.
But Canada needs no help from
others long as each one of us is
ready to help our fellow citizens where
ever and whatever they may be-
We have lost nothing but confidence
in ourselves. If each of us will look
at the facts and recapture the faith
wecan regain it. Never will we be con-
tent until we have achieved that pros
perity which is our birthright."

BRAIN MODIFYING
URGED BY R|TCH|E
Governor Pleads for Eco
nomic Direction in a LEAD
erIeSS World"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, October 15.-Calling
for leadership in leaderless world, u
Gov. Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland, in
an address at Founders day exercises
of Carnegie Institute here today, plead
ed that "a united and courageous front
by the men of light and leading now
will do much to check the, wave of
hysteria and fear which has been
sweeping the people off their feet"
What we need today" he said, lis
q mobilization Of the constructive brains
of the country and a rehabilitation
of political oratory. 1t is time
TO see both politics and economics
realistically"
Finds No Magic Remedy.
Gov. Richie said the problem of the
hour in his opinion, is how to make
politics and economics understand
each other. pull together for the COM
mon good and bring order out of the
existing chaoS-a chaos which may be
due nearly as much to psychologist as
to economic or political causes, but
which, in any event, has no earthly
right to exist in this era of intellectual
enlghtment and material plenty.
1T seems to me this leadership must
come from economics. The day for
meeting crisis by beating the political
tom-toms has passed. The scientific
and trained mind of the Nation must
be drafted and listened to. That is
always a ha-d thing for politics TO
do.
1T may lie bad politics to say it.
but there is no magic remedy.
Ain the things which created the wealth
Of our past we still have. The founda-
tons on which real prosperity must
build are still here. He must
have little faith in his country or little
vision of the future who cannot foreSee
at last a prosperity greater than
ever.
Says Panic Was Necessary.
"Of little use can political leadership
be when, with surplus of cotton and
q deficit of clothes, the most it can
tell the planter who has stood the cost
of growing his cotton, is to stand now
the cost Of blowing up and destroying
every third row of It, 1t seems almost
as if panic was required to make us see
If indeed we do See-that the law of
supply and demand still works.
The question of forced industrial en-
plOyment Is upon us. I believe 1t to be
true that nations supreme obliga-
ton is to protect its citizenship If its
citizens are threatened or attacked,
government must guard them or defend
them. Both social justice and
its own material welfare demand that
industry should plan some provision for
its labor when enforced idleness comes.
Just as it does for the upkeep of its
plant, for interest to its bondholders
and dividends to its stockholders, and
for its injured workmen."

Tax on Sunshine Proposed.

To help the national finances in
France. a tax on sunshine has been
proposed. The argument is that. as
sunshine spells health and enjoyment
people who live in sunny part Of the
country should pay more to the ma
tional treasury than those who live
where it is damp and dull. 1t is urged
that the people in each district should
be taxed according to the number Of
hours of sunshine recorded for 1t an
nually.

CURB ISSUES MOVE
!. IN NARROW RANGE
Small Advances Scored in
Public UtiIities-Trade
News Neutral.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1S-With trad
ing stagnant, the curb exchange session
today was characterized by few price
changes of any kind and a tendency
toward lower levels.
There was a considerable budget OF
: earnings reports and other market news,
but taken as a whole 1t was of neutral
character, and in many cases issues at
fected by the news did not sell or, when
traded, showed no change in price.
The public utilities appeared on the
tape oftener than other issues and in
q few Of them small advances were
made. Most sales of Electric Bond &
Share, for instance, were at a fraction
nj advance over Wednesdays close.
American Gas & Electric held above
its previous close for a while, then
slumped. American commonwealthS
power B was strong, rejecting an in
& crease of $1,750,493 in the company'S
met income during the year ended
April 80, 1881.
Cities Service started the day with a
4,800-Share deal, off fractionally at
105s. Later trading did not improve
this price to any extent. The company
reported that its stockholders had in
creased 1872 in number between May
is and June Is. The company's new
bulletin also made the statement that
decreases shown in the earnings of the
company are due to the complete de-
moralization of the petroleum industry"
1t was noted that the public utility gas,
light and power divisions of Cities Serv-
ice had shown increases in earnings.
Other oil issues had steady tone,
responding to rumors of further merg-
erS in the oil industry. Standard Oil Of
Ohio announced a reduction of a cent
a gallon in the price of gasoline.
Standard Oil of Indiana had a small
gain. Vacuum advanced over a point.
Declaration Of the regular dividend
of 1892 of share Of stock, or rs cents
in cash, on the optional 6 per cent
ration accorded with market expecta-
tions. The shares were firm. Other
trading corporation issues were quiet.
Ford Ltd. sold a number OF times
l03s and 1917. Announcement was
made from Detroit of two new models
soon to be put on the market by Ford
in addition TO five new passenger mod
els introduced in the past few months.
Ford of France stock was unchanged.
Cord shares were of a small fraction.
General Thsaters Equipment preferred
was lower at 81 and offerings were
quite heavy. 1t is reported that while
the position of Fox Film, which Gen
eral Theaters owns, has been improved
by recent contracts and the main
tenance of theater attendance, there
has been a sharp decrease in the thea
ter equipment business.
United Gas turned over in fair VOL
Ume at small decline American Nat
ural Gas reflected, with a firm price,
prospects that the company's reduction
in domestic gas rates from 81 to so
cents per 1000 cubic feet will result in
an eventual benefit to the company.

OUTLOOK FORO|L :
INDUSTRY BRIGHTER
Proration Program Is l1eId4
Ing ResuIts-East Texas :
Output Under Control.
BY BENNETT WOLFE,
Associated Press star Writer.

TULSA, Okla, June l8.-The oil In
dustry, In the views Of It's leaders, grad
ually is getting its house in order and
should be in position to reap every
advantage from the expected upswing
In general business conditions.
Whhe the present seems black, in
deed, with the crude oil market the
lowest In nearly a quarter century. as
result Of worldwide oversupplies,
certain outstanding facts are being
cited As evidence that the prediction OF
better times ahead Is not mere wl1is-
tling in the dark.
PrOration Movement Grows.
A more hopeful outlook was held to-
DAY BY e. B. ReeSer, president Of the
American Petroleum Institute and the
Barnsdall Corporation, because the
movement for proration Of production
In the oil-surfeited East Texas areas
has made headway. Proration in East
ern Texas, he said, viii be "construc-
tive step toward the sterilization of the
industry" and the means of bringing
about immediate improvement.
ForecaSting that present conditions
are "the darkest hour" that comes Just
before the dawn the National Pc
troleum News sets out the following
facts for the encouragement of the in
dustry:
l. Inventory values have been slashed
since the first of the year. All upward
turns in market price wilP mean an
appreciation of values of the stocks of
crude and refined oils now in hand.
2. Distributors stocks of gasoline
seem to be at very low point.
3. Organizations have been culled and
49,. rS.,ex
OF millions Of dollars.
4. Development Of new production
and exploration work have been cur
tailed for the sake Of both conservation
and economy.
5. Much wildcat acreage has been re-
linquished and rentals have been cut on
much other acreage.
6. Expenditures in the refining d.
vision OF the industry have gone for
ter products at lower costs.
Z. Thoughtless expansion of market
ing facilities has been stopped.
East Texas Situation.
The present crisis In the industry has
been attributed generally to the new
flush fields in Eastern Texas, which
have been virtually unchecked, so far,
by probation measures. Almost over
IhSut C1lcy SpIduS up 70 loose new
flood Of petroleum upon an already
oversupplied market.
An idea of the suddenness with which
Eastern Texas rnenaced the crude oil
market is indicated by figures showing
the areas potential production jumped
from 941,17 barrels daily May Is to
1 1,554,325 barrels daily June /, an in
crease Of 613,l48 barrels daily within
two weeks. New wells have been added
at the rate of approximately 100 a week.
The areas actual production has
been between 325, 900 and 5000 bar
rels daily for the last several weeks.
On January its output was only 800
barrels daily.
