our European properties have suf-
fered any substantial damage to
date" he said in the annual meet
ing. I'VE cannot tell what provis-
ions might have to be made by the
close of the year for losses or dam
ages or for any other causes affect
ing our foreign assets.
"The position of the oil industry
at home is less profitable than 1t
was in the earlier months this year.
Exports are lower than they were
before the war. Prices have weak
ened and gasoline inventories are
more than they should be for q
healthy statistical position.
"The encouraging factors seem to
be that domestic consumption was
increased and that inventories Of
products other than gasoline are
probably not too large"
