we dislike TO say 1--WE told you
so" but those who have been read
ing our comments during the past
year viii recall that we gave the
outline Of the plan of the New Order
as regards the oil industry and the
accuracy of our information was
completely confirmed by the letter
from the Office of Price Administra-
tion denying the 35-cent increase
in the price of crude asked by PAW.
The text of that letter was not
written in May, 1943. 1t was written
a year ago and held up until the
time was considered ripe. The plan
was to allow the industry to be re-
duced to a point where it would ae-
cept a drink of vinegar rather than
perish from thirst.
1t is our present impression that
the OPA plan is making a favorable
impression with the public. The fact
that it seems to invite new people
into the industry win cause many
to applaud the plan. Assistance to
"the wildeatter without such pro-
duction" is one of the main argu-
ments for the plan whereby the gov
eminent win provide the money to
drill wildcat wells.
The line forms on the left-and
woe be to him who has his hair
parted on the wrong side, for he
won't be able to get his hands on
any of the $150,00O,00O to be pro-
vided for wildcatters, with or with
out production.
The OPA letter said that the in
dustry is making plenty of money;
that there is plenty of drilling going
on and plenty of crude both being
produced and in reserve. The trou-
BILE has been, says OPA, that every
body is out of step; "manpower, spac-
ing restrictions, restrictive allow
ables in prorated states, difficulty
in material procurement, transpor-
tation difficulties, etc" 81 believe
more can be gained by correcting
these conditions than can be accom-
plished through price action" says
Prentice Brown, OPA director,
thereby eondemning WPB, ODT,
VINO, PAW and other agencies sup
posed to be trying to win the war
"One of the arguments advanced
in support of a price increase is that
it makes funds available which car
be used in exploration work. While
this is true with respect to com
panies already owning production, il
offers no assistance to the wildcat
ter without such production. 1t il
not my intention that any prospec
tive exploratory well which your of
flee thinks should be drilled should
remain undrilled because funds ar,
not available with which to drill it
With this in mind, my staff hal
been working on plan to NEE
this need. The plan viii make fund

Pardon Us For Repeating
TT WAS PLANNED THAT WAY

While some administration would be
necessary, it is not contemplated
that it would be more involved than
that eustomarily present in compar-
able business transactions.
The original idea for this plan
was advanced by an oil producer and
we have received favorable. reac-
tions in discussing it with both large
and small operators. 1t in no way
provides for government participa-
ton in the management or owner
ship of the oil industry"
That is the 'sMein KampfD Of the
American oil industry, and nicely
done.
1t finds the Independents with
their tongues hanging out. They can
not raise funds from the public. The
SEC is paid to see to that. The In
dependents cannot do much new
drilling out of present income, owing
to costs ont Of line with the price
of crude and therefore not commons
urate with the risk.
Do the Independents want to
slowly but surely starve to death,
deciding their properties to the in
tegrated companies-or
VIII the Independents accept two
thirds of the cost of wildcat from
the government with the understand
ing that if it is a dry hole, the gov
eminent loses and if it is a pro
dueer the government gets back 81
for each 81 so invested
How can an Independent who
owns string of tools turn down
that propositionf
1t sounds so much like the "Cut
Bank PLAN of non-recourse loans
that we almost feel that it was a
Montana plan.
It is our opinion that the hide
pendents-and perhaps the big COM
panies-will lunge for the bait. The
only thing that win prevent it viii
be third alternative, to come from
the industry itself:
Is it possible that the integrated
companies, with their vast resources,
win work out an alternative plan
of financing, to keep the Independ-
ents in businessf
The trouble is that there is a
war on. If we can believe the daily
production and drilling statistics; if
we can believe the reports Of PAW,
Of the USBM and of congressional
investigators, the United States
can't wait for either specialization
of the industry OF the slow soften
ing OF the hard hearts Of the inte-
grated companies We have sons in
Alaska, in Europe, in Africa, in Aus
tralia, in India whose welfare is
more dependent upon motor fuel
than ammunition.
It is no time for hesitation. At the
moment il looks as though the New
Order wins by offering its plan al
the psychological moment.

available to the wildcatter by a
method in general use in the indus
try and without governmental in
reference in his operations.
s1n my opinion one of the most
economic and effective means of
stimulating wildcat operations and
of assuring funds for the use of the
operator is through government par
tieipation in financing the proposed
well. Under the plan considered and
proposed, if the historical ratio of
producers to dry holes obtains, there
would be no out-of pocket expense to
the government; if the ratio is less
favorable, the plan. would still cost
the government but a fraction Of
the amount the public would pay
under general crude oil price in
crease. The recommended increase in
the price Of crude oil would amount
to an annual excess cost of approx
mately $500, 100000 based on present
production. The total government
outlay for drilling 1880 wildcat wells
at an admittedly high average of
$4,000 per well would be less than
$150,000,000 even if every well so
drilled was on an oil payment basis.
The recovery of such outlay based
on historical ratio figures of produc-
ers to dry holes should make such
an exploratory program nominal in
cost, if not self-sustaining.
The government, under the plan,
would furnish capital through exist
ing banking facilities to operators
for wildcat operations. In return for
such an investment the government
would receive u override interest
in any well proving to be a COM
mercial producer; if the wen proved
to be a dry hole the override interest
would be worthless and any obiga-
ton in connection with funds so
advanced discharged. In the case
of producing well, the operator
would have the option of permitting
the u override to stand or of hqui-
dating such interest on the basis of
81 for every 81 advanced. The ad-
vance through such a plan would be
limited to a maximum of 2-3 of the
estimated actual cost of drilling the
well subject to revision upwards or
downwards when final figures were
available. The balance Of the cost
would be handled by the operator
through the sale Of acreage, bottom
or dry hole money and/or personal
assets. Under the plan, duly qualified
operators could and would undertake
wildcat drilling to any degree
deemed necessary or advisable and
in contrast to general price in
crease, all funds made available
would be used directly in exploring
for new reserves. In case the vel
proved to be q producer and add
tional funds were required for com
pletion, these would be available OF
a dollar-for- repayment basis
