Aviation Gasoline Needs
To Force Expansion
BY the Associated Press.

=
NEW YORK, July S.-Oils con-
tribution to national defense was
viewed with such optimism by the
Lamp, published by the Standard
Oil Co. (New Jersey, that only one
difficulty was confessed Even that
was called simple of solution.
"A survey OF production possibili-
ties for aviation fuel of 100 octane
or greater indicates that a sufficient
supply could be developed to meet
the fueling requirements of the larg-
est air feet called for in any de-
fense program so fal made public, :"
said the Lamp.
This cannot be done, however,
with existing facilities, for the large
quantities Of high-quality fuel that
will be needed will naturally be far
in excess of CONNER cial peacetime
requirements. Additional capacity
for manufacturing blending agents
as we'll as certain other facilities
will have to be constructed.
Given reasonable breaks how
ever, there is no reason why the oil
man cannot lay adequate supplies
of aviation fuel on the line before
the planes themselves are delivered" :"
The Lamp dismissed as presenting
no problem raw material, ordinary
refining capacity, oiiing the defense
machine, fueling the defense line,
supplying certain necessary chemi-
cal and man power in the industry.

Figures
What They Mean
By JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, July ga new world
order in business, if Germany should
subdue England, was foreseen today
by Business Week magazine.
Germany, the publication pointed
out, already dominates continental
Europe, claiming consumer public
of 300,000,000. The British empire,
by comparison, has nearly 500 0.000, 900
consumers; the Soviet Union more
than 190,000,000: the Japanese bloc
about 400, 100000, and the Western
Hemisphere around 225.000.000.
II Germany should succeed in CO.
ordinating and directing the ship
ping of all her new partners, its
fleet would surpass the giant mer-
chant marine of Great Britain. 1t
would have more electric power at
its command than the United States,
a textile empire second only to the
British, and would be king pin in
a market for our goods which is only
a little smaller than the huge Brit
ish Empire.
This is only a tentative appraisal,
Business Week said, of the way
trading bloos may shape up after
the 81 American republics have dis
cussed their scheme for a Western
Heisphere cartel, Germany and
England have settled their argu-
ment, and Japan has established
her new order In the Orient.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The expanding

Prices were about, 2 cents net

Peach Crop Surprise
In Fifth District

Wheat and peaches are the only
crops for which 1910 prospective
yield figures have been issued the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
reports. Total wheat yield this year
for the fifth district is forecast at
24,440,000 bushels. approximately the
same as "a 4480, 900 bushels in 1899 but
less than the 10-year average pro-
duction of 25,169 900 bushels. Mary
land and Virginia are expected to
excel last years wheat crops, but
West Virginia and the two Carolinas
apparently have smaller crops this
year.
Peaches are turning out better
than was expected, and the districts
prospective crop of 4,793, 900 bushels
is higher than either the 1899 yield
of 4,708,000 bushels or the 10-year
average crop of 4,624000 bushels.
