Europe's largest petroleum producer, its
wells yielding about 100000 barrels per
month. Some political observers believe
that Adolf Hitler must gain control of
Rumanias oil, either by economic ar
rangements or by conquest, before at
tempting struggle with Great Britain
and France. But, as these two powers
have assumed guarantee of Rumania,
that very effort might precipitate war.
With Rumanian and Polish oil, plus
its own production and the gasoline
substitutes its chemists have perfected,
military experts believe that Germany,
by careful rationing, might keep sup
piled through long war. But, lacking
these new resources, the German gen.
eral staff must count on victory before
its stored oil supplies-reputedly large
are exhausted.
Italy's Supply Less.
Italys military oil situation, even
since the conquest of Albania, is even
more precarious than that of Germany.
Italian production is estimated at about
ton of its peacetime requirements. In
q war with the democratic bloc" Italy,
after its stored oil was exhausted, would
be forced to look to its ally, Germany
for its petroleum supply; and Germany,
as pointed out, has no abundance itself.
Italy's Ethiopian campaign was
momentarily menaced in 1885 when it
appeared that the British, French and
Americans were going to place an ef-
fective embargo on oil-as they could
have. II Duce has not forgotten this,
and Italy, reputedly, is storing vast
quantities of petroleum.
The continental United States is the
Croesus among nations in the coin of OIL
The North American Continent in 1898
produced 1,258,841, 900 barrels, or 632
per cent of the worlds oil production;
and of this all but 46,311 900 barrels
came from wells in this country. Amer
lea, if it were prodigal with its re-
sources, could easily supply the rest of
the world with oil for many years to
come.
In addition to domestic supplies, the
big American oil ompanies-Standard
OF New Jersey, Socony-Vacuum, Stand
ard of California and their various inter-
national subsidiaries control large
part of the world supply
Standard Of New Jersey and Socony-
Vacuum control substantial concessions
in Poland and Rumania. Together they
dominate approximately % per cent of
the production of Iraq; Standard of Cali
fornia's new concession in Saudi Arabia
has been mentioned. In the Far East,
Standard Of New Jersey has develop
ment in Sumatra and another in Java,
where Standard of California also has
concession, still undeveloped.
U. s. in South American Fields.
Ranking next to Europe with 1886 per
cent of the worlds production) is South
America, with 12.47 per cent; and large
part of the South American fields are
controlled by United States capital.
Standard of New Jersey, through sub
sidiaries, operates in Colombia, Peru and
Venezuela. Socony- Vacuum is develop
ing the old Barco concession in Colombia.
Standard Of New Jersey also has a small
interest in Argentina.
American companies also have extern
sive holdings in Bolivia and Mexico, al
though the status of these is presently
doubtful, as the two countries are seek
Ing to nationalize them.

whom nature has not endowed with ade-
quate petroleum supplies.
Only Hope of Victory.
A look at the worlds oil chart would
indicate that swift, devastating cam
paign of terror is their only hope of
bearing territories or wrest control of
the seas from the democracies, whose
naval power is now overwhelmingly pre-
ponderant. For, as matters now stand,
their production of oil is far below even
their peacetime requirements. They are
the best customers of the great demo-
cratic oil corporations-the various
branches of American Standard and
Gulf, of the British-controlled Royal
Dutch Shell and others. In other words,
they are now relying upon potential
enemies for their most vital military
need.
1t is possible, petroleum experts esti-
mate, for a nation to store enough oil
to last it for military and naval purposes
possibly year-but no longer. Conse-
quently, nations without adequate oil
supplies must fight a quick, victorious
war, or face eventual defeat
Take the case of Japan, for instance.
japanese oil production in the islands
of Taiwan. Hokkoido and Sakhalin to-
tails only 100000 barrels per month
the entire output of territories under
Tokio's control The lush fields of East
Texas produce more than that in a
day. There is no petroleum of COM
mercial Importance in the parts OF
China that Japan has occupied. And
japanese efforts to obtain concessions
in the East Indian fields have been
consistently checkmated by the Brit
ish and Dutch.
Contrasted with Japan's annual pro-
duction of 100000 barrels of oil in its
own territory, officials here estimate
that the Japanese Navy alore. under
peacetime conditions, uses 100000 bar
rels, or more than three times that
much. (How much the Japanese Army
in China is using no one here knows0 To
that, of course, must be added its civil
requirements. And its petroleum needs
in major war would be far larger
than its present ones.
Democracies Sell to Japan.
American companies alone are selling
Japan some 100000 barrels of oil an
nually, or more than seven times its
own production. In addition, the jap
anese buy oil from British and Dutch
companies. If this supply were cut of,
oil experts say, there is not enough
free petroleum. "-exportable oil not
controlled by the big American, British,
Dutch, French and Russian trusts-to
approach replacing it.
Thus 1t is clear that in the event
of major Far Eastern war the very
life blood of Japans military body would
be in the control of the nations which
it is now seeking to drive out OF the
Orient under its new Asian policy"
Nor is the oil treasure of Germany
and Italy much richer. Germany con-
trolls no fields outside the Reich. These,
according to American figures, are pro-
ducing about 100000 barrels per month,
or considerably less than normal peace
time requirements Conquest of Poland
would give Germany control of about
325000 barrels per month-not nearly
enough for war requirements, even when
added to domestic production.

 Cagney and Erwin play the role of pilots on an airline and the play follows them through the air and on the ground. Behind the drama of night flying, fog and crackups is Q story of clashing personalities.
 Unusual angle of the Radio The- ater production is that three mem. bers of the Cagney family are in- volved. Pimmy stars and in featured roles are his sister, Jeanne, and his sister -in- Jaw, Boots Mallory.
 Much of the drama takes place in an airport and It's control build- ings with radio itself playing an important part in the radio drama as e means of communication with planes in the air.
 Incidentally Cecil B. DeMille, Radio Theater producer, was one of the nations first operators Of c passenger airline. He was the pria- cipal owner of Q line connecting San Diego. Los Angeles and San Francisco from 1919 to 1924. He also held c pilots license. This may have been the first passenger airline in the country.

 c. What is the best temperature for baking potatoes?
 A. Between 400 and 42S degrees Fahr.
 c. A friend told me to soak my potted house plants occasionally What is the treatment?
 A. Expect for plants accustomed to aridity, such as cact that require infrequent watering, most plants are benefited by having the pot irn- mersed occasionally in tepid water for half an hour or more, and al- lowing the excess water to drain away quickly. Immersions probably should not be repeated oftener than once 6 fortnight or possibly once a month. No more water should be applied until the soil in the pot is again dry to the touch. Tn drying, the soil sometimes draws away from the sides of the pots and the water runs through almost immediately, without wetting the interior Of the ball. This is most likely in plants having rather coarse roots, and they can be watered best by setting the pot in a few inches of tepid water until the soil has absorbed enough Some successful cultiyators do much of their watering this way.
