HalibuterS
 Holding For
 1943 Prices

KETCHIKAN- Delegate Dimond has presented "as forcibly as pos sible" the arguments of the Ketch- ikan halibut fleet against the OPA's reduction of ceiling prices on hali- but fir the 1914 season. according to word received this week by Thor Henrieksen, local manager of the Fishing Vessel Owners association.
 However, the Delegate says that the OPA insists that although 1t slashed the ceiling prices 215 cents at Prince Rupert and ? cents in all Alaskan ports. they still are above the weighted average prices for l942. :
 Dimond said that the OPA will adhere to the ceilings it has set un- til fishermen show by reliable facts and figures that the ceiling prices should be higher to compensate for increased costs above 1922
 The current price structure, the OPA advised Dimond, is the result of administrative orders and the Presidents hold the line" order.
 The Delegate also said that he had been informed that Mrs. Mill dred Hermann, OPA administrator for Alaska, is due in Washington. D. C., next week and he assumes that

It follows, does it not, that inl
order to have assured access to this
oil reserve in the Middle East, we
must be absolutely sure either that
the Mediterranean cannot be closed
as it was from 1910 to 1913, or that
we have such naval command of
the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans
and tankers can pass safely around
Africa. This means, if we think
clearly about it, that in order to
make sound oil policy we have
first to make naval agreement
with Britain and with France and
with the other Mediterranean coun-
tries to see to it that we can al
ways be sure of getting to the oil
reserves,
If we do not do that, these oil
reserves in the Middle East may
be of no more use to us in time of
war than if we had acquired large
rubber plantations in Malaga and
the East Indies. We were caught
short of rubber in this war, not
because We did not own enough
rubber plantations in Asia but be-
cause we had failed to concert the
defenses of the regions where rub
Der is produced and were therefore
cut off from the supply. If Ameri-
can companies had owned all the
rubber plantations of Malaga, we
should not have had any more rub
Der than we do have, once Japan
deprived us of assured access.
When we think out the other
questions, such as shipping, civil
aviation and communications, we
shall find, if we think far enough,
that these problems, too cannot
be solved until we have solved by
agreement with our allies the fun
damental problem of military Sc
curity. To attempt to deal with
these questions except within the
framework of such an agreement
is to- beg these questions, not to
solve them.
We have now gone as far as we
can 60 by means of the excellent
personal relations between Mr.
Churchill and Mr.. Roosevelt and
with general principles like those
adopted at Moscow. We now need
something more permanent than a
great friendship and something
more concrete than general prin.
ciples. We need a military agree.

TODAY and TOMORROW
By WALTER LIPPMANN

Oil is very important, yet is only
one of many things about which
we very much need to form a ma
tional policy for our dealings with
the rest of the world. There are
other essential raw materials of
which our domestic reserves are
dwindling. We have to arrange for
the future of civil aviation, of mer-
chant shipping, of radio, telegraph
and telephone communications. We
shall need a policy, for we have
none now, covering many aspects
of international trade, including the
complicated subjects of cartels,
tariffs and currency.
AS yet the United States govern
ment is not organized to deal with
these questions. What happens is
that some part of the government
becomes aware of some part Of
some problem take position, has
a talk with the President and OBJ.
tains his approval and then an
nounces a policy Other depart.
ments of the government, equally
or more concerned with the same
subject, are often scarcely consult
ed. For example, the Army, as the
Truman committee has pointed
out, carried out the Canol projec'
in Canada at a cost of $130, 900, 00(
without consulting Mr.. Ickes, the
Petroleum Administrator, or the
chairman of the War Production
Board.
And now Mr.. Ickes has had the
Presidents approval TO committing
the government to build a pipe line
from the Pers an Gulf across Ara
bia and through either Palestine OF
Egypt to the eastern Mediterrane
an. But on this project, which has
the most complicated and far
reaching political and strategic eff
fects on our foreign policy the
State Department would seem MOI
to have been seriously consulted
This is obviously not the way to
conduct government. Yet I have
no doubt myself that it is the re
suit of inexperience, more OF
less inevitable consequence of oul
having been awakened so sudden
ly from the isolationist dream
world to the harsh realities. AL
most certainly the government is
not properly organized to form
policy, because we have not ye-
thought out clearly enough what i
takes to form a policy. Until we
do that, we can shuttle and re
shuttle the organization charts o:
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1944-02-23

the State Department and the al
phabetical agencies without getting
much further.
We may take an example from
the useful Introductory report on
petroleum matters just issued by
the Truman committee. One Of its
conclusions is that with the de-
pletion of our oil reserves in this
hemisphere in sight, we must now
recognize ''the importance to the
United States of assuring access to
some of the petroleum resources in
the Eastern Hemisphere.
This is undoubtedly true. But
what we need to think about very
clearly indeed is just what we
mean by assuring access" For,
of course, we have now and have
had for some years very large oil
concessions in the Eastern Hemi-
sphere. In the Persian Gulf region,
which is now believed to be the
richest oil field yet discovered in
the world, American interests have
had since 1933-'34 about 40 per cent
of the so-called proven oil reserves.
The British and Dutch interests,
which work together, have about
"a per cent. In the Netherlands
East Indies American companies
have what is said to be about a
half-interest in the proven reserves
These are of course, estimates on
which experts differ considerably.
But I believe these are the esti-
mates of the American experts on
whom our government relies.
When we remember that, in ad.
dition to our domestic reserves,
American companies have also a
70 per cent interest in the Carib
bean area, it is evident that we
have a very fair share of the
known oil reserves of the world
The real question then is to know
what tn e Truman committee
means, and what the government
ought to mean, by assuring &C
cess to the oil of the Eastern
Hemisphere.
The Persian Gulf is a very Ions
distance from the United States
By sea, when the Mediterranean i.
open, it is something like $500
miles. If Mr.. Ickes builds his pipt
line into the eastern Mediterranean
the distance for tankers will be Gu
down to something like $500 miles
Now the first question we have
to ask ourselves is whether ane
how great oil reserve in the Mid
die East, which delivers oil through
a pipe line and that ends in Pal
estine or in Egypt gives assured
access for the United States.
would not have given assured &C
cess in this war until Eisenhower
Alexander and Montgomery hae
recovered North Africa and hac
conquered Sicily and south Italy
The Ickes contract with the Amer
lean companies carries with it E
provision of a reserve for the Army
and Navy of 1,000,000,00O barrels
But the pipe line taps the reserve
only if the Army and Navy are Ger
tain that in time of war they car
send tankers across the Mediter
ranean to the end of the pipe line
