STABHIzATHON WAS NOT WANTED BY THE
STRONGER OIL COMPANIES
We could not get stabiIization in the Oil Business
because the bigger and stronger companies did
not want stabilizatiOn.
They could count the profits they made from
the constantly recurring periods of distress when
they could buy out first the little producer and
then the little refner at their own price.
OIL is OUR MOST IMPORTANT MEANS OF
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Oil is most important munitiOn of war.
Its exhaustion not only invites other nations
to make upon but handicaps us in the
conduct of war.
1t would not require the intellect of
child to know that the Federal Government posses
the necessary power to prevent the needless
waste of oil, but the big oil companies had their
lawyers say that the Federal Government had
no such power, and when their own lawyers could
not make a good enough case, they went out
and hired outside lawyers to tell everybody the
same story.
This kind of talk can silence children but
should not silence grown up people very long.
WE ARE THE ONLY NATION THAT DOES NOT
MAKE OIL A MATTER OF NATIONAL
ACTIVITY
The chief object of the diplomacy of every other
civilized Nation in the World is Oil, but our
Nation simply ''passes the buck'' and wastes
resources.
I have talked this sub ject for than
ten years and have said great deal, and defy
anyone to point to single statement have made
that has not been true, and defy anyone to point
to a single statement that has been made in contra
dictiOn to what have said, that has been true.
have fight with Federal officials who
have been afraid to take firm stand on this oil
matter, for doubt if they would have gotten any
place in fight with great line of Oil BarOns, but
the situation has gotten so bad that many of
these Oil BarOns are themselves frightened and,
believe now is the time to strike.

clean chicks from culled and tested
