 WARRINGTON, March o. With ne Philippines and the China Sea lirping from her grasp, Japan rom new on must depend primarily n cil stock-piled in tks homeland o supply her navy and air forces.
 These reserves are limited. The Jaranese will face a critical short ge of r retroleum products within l2 24 months.
 Since l942, the Japanese have re- jed on the wells and refining facil- ties of the Netherlands East Indies ill much of their oil require acnts. Now transportation of pe- rcleum from the Indies will be lrsstically curtailed if nos stopped,
 Little Is Left
 From Japan, Korea and Man huria tke Nipponese can draw only rom a third to half of their an lual petroleum requirements. Con umption of oil products by Japan ; e-tmated in Washington govern rent circles at about 55o00,00O aIrels year.
 Production, is placed at 100000 arrels year of natural crude in Japan proper and Korea and be- .wcen 15,o0o,000 and 25,0oooo0 bar rels of synthetics from Japan, Korea and Manchuria Refining capacity of this inner zone is about 12,000,0c) barrels.
 In 194o the Dutch East Indies ranked fifth in world oil production. More than 60,000,Ooo barrelss of oil flowed from Indies wells each year Refining capacity. was more than 520c0,000 barrels. Even then the Japanese imported 9,000000 barrels a year from these islands.
 Production Built Up
 By restoring many of the wells and processing plants destroyed by the Dutch as they retreated in 1942, the Japanese, it is believed, were able to attain high production and refining rate in the Indies. Att taoks by American submarines and planes. however, have exacted tre- mendous toll of tankers
 And the Indies oil facilities have been hard hit by Allied air assaults. Carrier-borne aircraft of power ful British naval force have smack led oil refineries at Palembarg, Sum atra, twice. It is believed that these attacks destroyed the source of three-fourths Of Japan's aviation gasoline.
 Other Sumatran refinsries pre- viously had been smashed by Brit ish planes, and U. S. aircraft fre- quently have pummeled the mann moth refineriss at Balikpapan, Bor- neo.
 With an estimated reserve of 75,0o0,00O barrels of aviation gaso- line. it is believed Japan can oper- ate her air fleets for two years at the present rate. Available lubri- eating oils will last IS months
 Flee. Consumption Heavy
 Consumption by the battered im- porial fleet is gauged at about 35,e00,000 barrels of fuel oil a year. American experts estimate the navy can operate for year on available supplies.
 Munitions Minister Shigeru To- shida, appearing recently before the house of representative in Tokyo outlined the difficulties.
 He admitted military reverses had made transportation of oil from the Indies increasingly difficult" and that the government would make strenuous efforts" to hike petrol- cum production in Japan, Manchuria and north China. The government, he said, will take charge of the ex- ploration for new wells"
