NEED OF OIL is
ONLY THREAT TO
GERMAN SUCCESS

NEW YORK-The war in the
low countries is pictured by some
petroleum authorities as a race of
German arms against time in the
face of diminishing supplies of mo-
tor fuel, but as yet the German
fuel problem apparently is far from
acute
Imports constituted almost all
the German motor fuel supply prior
to the war. When the Allied block
ade was instituted in September,
the reich's war machine was cut
off from the North and South Am
erican fields, where fully 80 per-
cent of German oil imports were
obtained previously.
Ten percent came from Ruman-
ia and percent from Russia.
One petroleum geologist, Max
w. Ball, has estimated that Ger
many can obtain only one barrel
of oil for every three needed,
thereby placing a heavy drain on
reserves.
Need of petroleum for civil use
can be reduced, but cannot be
entirely. Reductions al
ready have been made in the war
ring countries.
The experts appear to write off
Russia as a heavy source of oil
for Germany, pointing out Rus
STA huge domestic needs and what
they term the poor transport IA
cilities both inside Russia and be-
tween Russia and Germany
