Not A Lost Cause

The Office of Price Administration
(OPA) has turned down the request
of Petroleum Administrator Ickes
for an increase in the price Of oil
The crisis in the coal miners strike
is believed responsible for the rejec-
ton of the request at this time.
Prentis Brown, 0PA director, stated
that this was a most inopportune
time to present the petition for high
er prices, because of the danger Of
initiation.
Washington advices are that it
is not lost cause-unless powerful
influences within the industry itself
are secretly opposing price in
crease. That has been openly sug-
gested in Independent quarters but
outwardly the entire industry seems
united in support of price increase
as the one factor that can stimu-
late the production of enough oil
to carry on the war.
The Independent Petroleum Asso-
citation may be depended upon to
carry on the fight. We saw a brief
submitted to the IPA by the Mon
tana Oil & Gas Association which
contains convincing arguments that
there MUST be a price adjustment,
not only to prevent monopoly in
the industry, but to provide adequate
oil for the armed forces. and with
no harmful effects on the "war on
initiation"
Says this brief, in part:
$50 let us not disturb the present
price relationship of various petro-
leum products in making our price
adjustment to absorb the soc per
barrel crude increase and examine
the results:
"Based on the present group 8
posted market prices and evaluatine
the various general products on 9
basis Of their average yield value
relationship to the barrel of crude
this soc per barrel increase results
as follows:
"Gasoline up .016c per gallon
kerosene and distillate up Oh pc

Light domestic fuels up .OOsc pc

Industrial fuel up .OO65c per gal

cation of the price shock, after rnaA

more sound foundation in the true
interest of the war effort"
The brief concludes that when
the Independents dwindling oil re-
serve is gone he is out of business
"and America loses an independent
oil industry, all for the price of one
package of cigarettes per month to
the sA' card holder
The emphasis of this one fact is
enough to offset all of the anti
initiation propaganda behind which
the UPA is now hiding. We're the
industry to unite in a campaign of
publicity along this line, the public
would quickly support Administrator
Ickes and the Lea committee and the
Patman committee and other CON
gressional bodies which after careful
study have recommended that steps
be taken to halt the downward trend
of oil production.
There is adequate pressure to in
sure an increase in the price ceilings
on crude and on refined products,
if that pressure is but applied. That
it win be applied goes without say
ing.
We repeat that we believe Mon
tana operators win 90 ahead with
development in full confidence that
higher prices are coming, even
though present operations may be
at loss. There is every reason to
Justify that confidence.
