STIR UP FORCED
LABOR" WAR CRY
AGAINST SOVIETS
Law Effective Jan. / Is
Provocative Step

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Echoas
of the forced labor" anti-Soviet
campaign will be heard again
louder than ever on Jan. wnen the
U. S. treasury department puts into
effect the so-called tariff section
purporting to forbid the import of
goods made by forced" or inden-
tured labor.
The Fish Committee, along with
Matthew VOL, William Green. and
the Russian white guard organlza-
tons in the United States urged the
using of this measure to ban the
import of all Soviet goods into the
United States. The fact is this meas
ure was put through mainly against
the Soviet Union, as the forced and
convict-made goods of the big i'm
perialiSts 81 always let through with
out hitch or question. The cry OF
forced labor" in the Soviet Union
has also been convenient for the A.
F. Of L. leaders who found it incon-
venient to account for the growing
forced labor among the American
workers, especially among the unem-
ployed who in many cities are forced
to work without pay.
Thus far, Assistant Secretary Low
man of the treasury department de-
clares the new act on Jan. l will not
bar all Soviet products, but also each
shipment will be Judged on its ar
rival" In this manner, the tariff
act is used as a constant threat
against the Soviet Union, with the
imminent possibility of its wholesale
application in preparation for war
against the workers fatherland.

GASOLINE DEMAND
GROWING STEADILY
Trade Expert Also Finds
Smaller Sales for
Crude Oil.
BY BENNETT WOLFE,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

TULSA, Okla, April 3.-This coun-
try is using more and more gasoline, but
less and lsss crude oil.
That seeming paradox appears as
significant fact in a statistical report
Just completed by Clarel E. MapeS,
technologist for the Mid-Contlnent on
and Gas Association.
The report shows the daily average
demand for gasoline in 1880 was l,248,-
SIS barrels, an increase Of 507 per cent
over the 1929 demand, while the daily
acreage demand for crude petroleum In
1880 was 1885,, 290 barrels. or decrease
of 5.44 per cent when compared with
the preceding year.
Demand Near Limit.
Science, with its improved methods
of gasoline recovery, has been potent
factor in lessening the demands for
crude oil.
In this connection, E. b Reessr.
president of the American Petroleum
Institute, commented:
THE demand for petroleum In It's
raw state has practically reached its
limit. We will have an increase in the
demand for gasoline, lubricating oils
and so forth; but, because of the i'm
provement in refining methods, the
present refineries will be able to supply
our entire requirements from the pres
ent production of crude oil"
Mapes said in his report:
The manufacture OF cracked gaso-
line and the use of natural gasoline,
being the result of Increased knowledge
of petroleum chemistry and OF improved
refining processes. has gradually brought
about a larger gasoline recovery ana
more efficient utilization OF the unit
barrel of crude oil.
This result may be looked upon as
an approach to true conservation Yet
the increased utilization Of the crack
ing process and natural gasoline Is not
alone dependent on this thought.
THE public demand for a higher
quality of gasoline has played no small
part in this evolution, and the hlgn-
compression motor of the present-day
automobile has forced refiners to pro-
duce a superior grade of gasoline not
available through the use OF the
'straight-run process alone.
Production Increase.
"Thus these two factors are among
the most important CT those aHectlng
the demand for crude oil today
Mapes presented figures showing tns
total gasoline production in the United
states has increased more than 10 per
cent each year until 1880, when the
increase amounted to only O.26 per
cent, and that the production OF
'tstraight-run" gasoline also increased
by large percentages each year until
1880, when it decreased per cent
Production of cracked" gasoline IN
creased 1927 per cent in 1890.
THE fuller utilization OF the UNI
barrel of oil has been the goal OF the
refining industry for years" Mapes ex-
blamed, land each additional improve
nnent and method Of gasoline recovery
has automatically reduced the volume
of crude oil required to be run to Sims
To produce a given amount OF gasoline.
