The known petroleum reserves IN
Russia are. estimated between "a
to. 40 billion barrels, with Siberia
and central Asia yet to be ac'
counted for. ,
Some oil has been found
around Perm, and geologists are
sinking experimental wells in the
lower Urals. At present 95 per
cent of production is in the Cau-
casus near Grozny and Baku.
In 1918 Russia produced 9,234r
900 metric tons of petroleum,
most of which was used as fuel oil
and kerosene.
Production methods were ex-
tremely primitive. In 1920, after
the world war and the civil war,
production dropped to 100000
metric tons. -~--.- &C.
In 1924 the industry was reor-
ganized and in 1925 the pre-war
production figures were equaled.
In the year 192627 the total
was 1928, 300 metric tons and
last year it reached 17,405, 900
tons, almost double pre-war pro-
duction
The program for this year calls
for 27,5O0,OOO tons, and while this
may not be attained, the produc-
ton will undoubtedly be greater
than last year.
The revised five-year plan for
oil has set a goal of $4,000, 900
metric tons for the year 1928,
above five times pre-war figures.
Russian oil exports have in
creased. In 1913 the exports
amounted to 947,700 metric tons.
BY 1926-27 they had increased to
2,038, 300 tons and last year they
were 4,554,900 tons.
The export program for this
year, in keeping with the Soviet
policy of secrecy regarding ex-
ports, was not available.
So far the Russians have only
about 1900 miles of petroleum
pipe lines, but the programs for
this year and next call for great
extensions.
When compared with American
figures. the Soviet statistics dis
close that Russia. is far behind
the United States in production
exports and pipe lines. Produc-
ton of crude oil in the United
States last year amounted to
1913, 100000 metric tons.
Russia, as stated, produced less
than one-seventh of this amount.
American exports were $1,000, 900
tons, or more than four times
the Russian figures.

U. s. 80 Per Cent Dry
A recent visitor said:

A recent visitor said:
'But Senator, concentrates
and the ambiguity about posses
sion in the VOlstead Act are
safety valves. They keep the
country from blowing up en-
tireIy about prohibition.
Don't you believe it, young
man, Sheppard replied. This
country is dry by 80 per cent.
Oh / admit that the industrial
and metropolitan east is wet.
But the people out in the cOun-
try are dry and don't you for
get it."
To the assertion that there
wasn't a community "out in the
country" large. or small that
wasn't bootleg liquor ridden, Sen
ator Sheppard entered a depre
eating denial. Unquestionably
there was drinking by those who
wanted it, he conceded. But in
his extensive travels about the
country, he insisted, he was as
sured by good people" every
where that public drunkenness
had disappeared and that the
great mass of folks were law
abiding and dry.
And no argument or presenta'
ton of facts to the contrary will
convince Senator Sheppard other
wise. He listens courteouSly and
patiently, but his faith and trust
in the efficacy and permanency
of his creation is unshaken. To
the intimation that the new Con
gress may strike at the dry laws
Senator Sheppard is amused. If
any legislation is enacted, it will
be for even stronger enforcement.
he prophecies.
The Washington times., 1931-10-27
None Worth Mentioning

The United States, according to
reports to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, had 45,921
miles of trunk pipe lines and AZ,
600 miles of feeder lines, a total
of 88,721 miles, SO times more
than Russia. It is estimated that
the United States has about 10000
miles of natural gas pipe lines
There are none in Russia worth
mentioning.
The largest consumer of Rus
sian export oil last year was
Great Britain.
The other countries receiving
Russian oil were Egypt, India,
Germany, CZechoslovakia, Austria.
France, Italy, Belgium and Hol
land. None was exported to the
United States, Soviet officials
said.
The Standard Oil Co. of New
York handles much of the Rus.
sian oil sold in Egypt!
The Washington times., 1931-10-27

The decisive action Of the
American Medical Association,
the American Bar Association,
the American Legion, and the
American Federation of Labor
in demanding modification Of the
prohibition laws means nothing
to Senator Morris Sheppard,
author of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. This pleasant, mild, cour-
teous little southern gentleman
is unshaken in his belief in the
effectiveness and security of the
dry system.
He is busy in his office these
days preparing additional enforce
ment legislation that he will pro-
pose and urge at the coming ses-
sion of Congress. He wants to
ban grape concentrates and to
make the possession Of alcoholic
beverages in the home unlawful.
In Senator Sheppard's opinion
the Volstead Act already does
this, but in order to clear up all
doubt he would make the statute
read so that there could be no
question about the matter.

Profits Are Large

Soloviov's remarks were borne
our by what the writer had seen
at Grozny and Baku.
The profits Of the oil trust have
been large, according to Russian
standards. Many millions of rou
bles have been spent to improve
the living conditions of the work
ers. :.
At Baku, on the Caspian Sea
the oil trust has built a model
city of modern apartment houses
laid miles of paved streets and
established schools to train the
young oil workers.
In the. Caucasus the Russians
are proud of the record the oil
industry has made. The govern
ment does its bit to impress the
people about the Importance of
the industry.
Twenty minutes before the
train at Grozny the conductor
ordered all windows closed.
In the station yard there were
three armored railway cars, with
guards posted. This was the
only station where the writer
saw such cars.

Senator Sheppard has repre-
sented Texas in Congress since
1902, when he came to the House
to fill a vacancy caused by the
death Of his father. He was
only % years old. He continued
in the House until 1918 when
he ran for the seat resigned by
Senator Joe" Bailey, one of the
most picturesque characters in
the history Of the Senate.

most regular members in floor
attendance, never makes speeches.

the government collective plan
has many decided advantages
over the individualistic chaos in

The Communist does not need
to resort to what some might call
unfair logical tactics by citing the
American experiences with Sec
retary of the Interior Fall, the
Sinclair-Stewart Continen a !
Trading Company scheme or the
oil speculation craze that swept
over the country between 1918
and 1921. Citation of production

The Washington times., 1931-10-27
Big Plans for Future

SoIoviov outlined for the writer
the present and proposed Rus
sian pipe line systems.
It was evident from Soloviov's
figures that the Soviet Union,
even with its planned economy,
has a long road ahead of it
before it can overtake and out
strip the advanced Industrial ma
tions.
The present systems are made
up of seven pipe lines. Two run
from Baku on the Caspian Sea
to Batum on the Black Sea.
OF these, one is a 10-inch pipe
SIS miles long with an annual
capacity of 100000 tons, the
other is an eight-inch pipe $50
miles long with a capacity of
$4,000 tons. Formerly used for
kerosene. these pipes now carry
crude oil.

In economic and political mat
ters Senator Sheppard is one of
the most consistent liberals in
the Southern Democratic group.
Which explains, perhaps, why al
The Washington times., 1931-10-27
Lack of Cooperation

Soloviov took occasion also to
deny that often repeated charge
that Russia would not cooperate
with other oil-producing coun,
tries.
He claimed that the shoe was
on the other foot and that the
capitalistic countries, for the
most part, would not cooperate
with Russia.
He said that Russia had an
agreement with England as to
prices to be charged in the
Orient. He said:
1--WE prefer stable prices be-
cause we would receive more
'valuta' for our oil. We are
charged with dumping oil on
the world market when we are
doing what every other oil ex-
port country is dOing-getting
what we can for our products.
"The real trouble is over
production in capitaliStic COuh-
tries.
1--WE shall always continue
to export because we can pro-
duce more oil than can be used
in Russia.
1--WE expect to locate new
fields in the U-alS, the Ukraine
and in Siberia. We know that
we have oil in Sachalin island.
vOur Mr.. Sinclair tried for a
concession there. We can tx
port from Sachalin to the
Orient.
The Washington times., 1931-10-27
Big Task Underestimated

Soloviov resorted to a common
communistic practice. He at once
said that Russia might catch up
in three years. <
Such a statement was absurd,
when one considers the difficult
ties of getting supplies, labor and
credit for any Russian industry.
In fact, the Oil Trust is some
what behind in its schedule this
year. \
The trouble in the United
States apparently is the other
way around. Individual exploita-
tion Of oil has put production
ahead of the country's schedule
and the stockholders are paying
the price.

Fourth Line of 70 Miles

The fourth line runs from
Maikop to Krasnodar, 70 miles
of eight-inch pipe with capacity
of $4,000 tons Of refined oil.
When Soloviov was asked when
he expected Russia to reach the
same efficiency in the use of oil
products as the United States, he
heSitated long time.
Pressed for an answer in years,
he replied, perhaps in five
years."
To this the writer pointed out
that the United States, despite
the fact that the oil fields were
well distributed over the country,
had many times the pipe line
mileage that Russia even con-
templated, and that it was the
writer's opinion that many five
years would elapse before Russia
caught up with the United States.

Russia is beginning to use oil
and petroleum products in great
quantities, in industries and for
tractors and automobiles.
N. I. Soloviov, vice chairman
of the All-Union Oil Trust, the
producing dictator of the Russian
petroleum production. told the
writer in Moscow that while Rus.
sian oil exports were increasing
in tons every year, the percentage
of exports to total production was
decreasing.
He pointed out that as Russian
industrial needs increased the
domestic market would make in
creasing demands for oil.
The Washington times., 1931-10-27
Using Their Own Oil

Despite the fact that no oil
was sold to the United States.
the Russians have bought millions
of dollars worth of oil machinery
from American concerns.
Purchases in the year 1928
amounted to $1,262, 900: in 1928.
