WM Hitler March Again
 For the OiI He Requires?
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. IT. The reason military experts expect Hit Ter to become dissatisfied with his present situation is--oil.
 Careful computation of Ger many's domestic oil production places 1t at an outside limit of g. 100000 tons annually. In war, that amount, even if available all at one time, would last Germany six to eight weeks. Military sources quoted from abroad estimate Ger many's war time consumption would be 12,000,000 tons as minimum and possibly 20,000,000 tons. At present Germany can buy from the United States and Mexico. In event of war with England those sources would be cut off by blockade. Then what?
 That question explains why every German move is interpreted by mili- tary observers as directed toward gaining access to the Rumanian oil fields, one of the worlds best That field could not be cut off from Ger many by the British navy.

There is little in Sudetenland, taken from Czechoslovakia, Germany has em- ployed its most skilled scientists to make fuel oil from coal but has been only moderately successful.
