WHERE WE LEAD THE WORLD

At the end of the lost war, q Lead

ficont observation: 1.-THE Allies soIed
to victory on SEQ Of oil"
In World War II, thinks many an
expert, the decision will again be lor9e-
" determined by the petroleum assets
Of the antagonists. And that is where
Germany is weok-ond Britain and the
United Stotes are strong.
The oil companies Of our country
produce So per cent Of the worlds oil.
And, equally important, they produce
an even higher percentage Of the high
erode gasoline that is necessary to OBJ
tain maximum performance from dir
croft engines. According to one ou-
thority, our gasoline is SO superior that
our military planes fly 30 per cent fos-
ter, carry 20 per cent more bombs and
can climb above onti-oircroft fire IS
per cent more quickly than can Ger
mony's comparable types. Germany
can obtain only 3 per cent Of the worlds
natural oil supply from within Europe
We ore similarly blessed in those
other bosic materials which ore nee
essoy not only to maintaining COM
pleted mlitoy machine, but to fueIine
the factories which ore building it. In
dispensobIe sources Of industrial
power ore cool and electricity. IN the
foce Of deficits, legislative problems
and labor troubles, the coal industry
hos mointoined its high stote Of pro-
duotion. And the private electric indus
try hos persisted in going oheod in spite
Of years Of political persecution.
The future Of free notions is de-
pendent on the output Of our greet
noturoI resource industries. A wise
governmental policy will now do every
thing possible TO encourage them to
oreoter achievements than ever before.
