 Maracaibo oil Fields, Venezuela, Sept. 19.-The war abroad has final- ly struck at the great Lake Mara caibo oil region of western venezue- la. And Venezuela, in the world market, spellc oil.
 About 80 German employees have been dismissed by the oil firms (Dutch Shell, Standard oil and Gulf) in an effort to cooperate with the government to foreStall possible damage to property. All remaining German employees have ,een warned they will be held accountable for any damage to wells and equipment.
 The story of the wars effect is more. subtle.
 Fabulous wealth. has come to Venezuela from oil, although 8 years ago It was producing none at all. It is now the greatest ex- porter and second greatest pro- ducer.
 EXPORT TRADE
 FALLS OFT,
 The blitzkrieg abroad has upset calculations of dopesters and oil ex- ecutives. Instead of Europe's armies becoming increasingly dependent on American oil and gasoline, Europe's short war" has sent western hemi- sphere producers looking for mar kets.
 Wartime restrictions in Great Britain on civil use of gasoline SC far just about offset increases in war consumption, according tc Venezuelan experts. Expense o1 convoy is also a factor in reducing exports to Britain to an absolute minimum.
 British tankers are getting through to Curacao, Dutch West Indies, site of Shells retineries England is buying as much as pos sible from Dutch Shell to conserve export of dollars. American oil interests are espe- cially hard hit by the turn of events abroad.
 Lago, mammoth subsidiary oi Standard oil of New Jersey 1T Venezuela, is laying of 10 per cent of its personnel around Lake Mara. caibo and in eastern Venezuela. Vast drilling operations planned for this year and next have beer cancelled. 2 Petroleum exports of Standard oi Venezuela are of 50 per cent. No yet so hard hit, Dutch Shell ane Gulf are also laying of employes and anticipatoing curtailed produc- ton.

 Executives here would like to see a speedy British victory. European markets would be opened up, with partially British controlled Dutch Shell having an edge in competition.
 Should Hitler triumph, oil men here see one thing to do; depend on mass production in this hemi- sphere, plus shrewd marketing to wear down German barter economy.

had been broken. Lacerations ar
ound the arms and limbs helped to
make her condition a critical one.
According to reports, another

PERMANENT RELIEF
STATUS
Emmett j. Scott)

Relief, at best, is only stop
gap. AS permanent instrument
of government it cannot assure
happiness, hope, liberty and free
dom to free people. Colored cit
liens need to take to heart these
fundamental requirements of the
American way of life.
The American economic system
and the American political system
of representative government can
not continue, with thousands and
thousands of men and women de-
pendent on whatever political par
ty may be in power for relief, and
with other millions and millions of
employable men and women walk
ing the streets of our American cit
les with little or no hope of being
able to secure jobs for the support
and maintenance of their families.
Colored workers cannot expect
to secure continuous, permanent
employment at wages high enough
adequately to care for the needs of
their families under the best pos
sible working conditions until the
economic and political economy of
our country is released from pres
ent-days restraints and limitations.
The creation of permanent work
opportunities can be provided only
by private industry, which unfor-
tunately, finds itself nowadays
hampered and hamstrung by intol-
cradle conditions working alike to
the disadvantage of employee and
employer.
