Petroleum Resources In Key Role
In Drama Of Middle-East States

Countries of the Near and Mid
die East, where postwar Aladdins
have rubbed oil lamps and pro-
duced genielike headlines, possess
an estimated 40-odd per cent of
the worlds known petroleum
points out the National Geographic
Society.
The area involved is a relative
ly small one, lying between the
Black and Caspian Seas, the Med
iterranean and the Indian Ocean.
Outstanding p r o d u C e r S in this
golden triangle Of oil" are the
Soviet Union. Iran, Iraq, and Saudi
Arabia, the latter linked in oil op-
erations with the adjoining island
of Bahrein.
Important b smaller supplies
are obtained from Egypt, and
from the little Arab sheikdom of
Kuwait, near the head of the
Persian Gulf.
The Soviet Union is the second
largest petroleum source in the
world, ranking after the United
States. Nearly ali its output long
has come from the rich fields of
the Caucasus, between the Black
and Caspian Seas.
Some of these fields we're put
out of commission during the Ger
man invasion. The most important
operations, however, near Baku on
the Caspian Sea, were not reached
Or seriously damaged by the
Nazis. Even before war ended,
Russian production was on the in
crease. From 216, 866, 900 barrels in
1889, the figure had risen in 1914
to 275, 900, 900 barrels.
Among other nations of the
golden triangle" Iran - subject
of United Nations controversies
far in the lead at present. It's esti-
mared 1945 output was about 127,-
600, 900 barrels. All this "black
gold" came from the southwest
ern section of the country, for
which the British dominated An
glo-Iranian Oil company holds the
concession.
The Soviet Union has had no
concession in its neighboring oil
countries. An agreement, however,
now is reported IL progress to per-
NIT Russian development of north
ern Trans petroleum deposits.
In 1914, the Russians had indi-
Gated a desire to participate in
Iranian oil concessions, at a time
when British and American con-
Germs were also taking up the
question of further development.
Action on all this program was
postponed until after the war and
the withdrawal of foreign troops
occupying the country.
Reserves are Fabulous
Iraq followed Iran in TIL re-
gion's petroleum production for
l945, with an estimated IS, Goo, 900
barrels. Saudi Arabia and Bahrein
Island 0 6 e t h e r accounted for
some Is, O0o, 900 barrels; Egypt.
nearly $500, 900. Kuwait contribut-
ed more than LOCO, 900 barrels.
Although huge in aggregate, the
current oil output Of the Near and
Middle Eas. is still less than one
fifth that OF the entire world. It
is in the reserves that the figure
of 40-odd per cent of the whole
has been reached by oil experts.
Many regard this as an extremely
conservative estimate for fabulous
oil resources which may lie below
the barely-scratched sands.
Small Kuwait, for example, DOS

oil reserves believed to surpass
those of the present big producer

We want to thank you for keep
ing us posted as to the activities
of Congressman J. Bayard Clark.
AS a congressman he has done a
wonderful job. We do not know of
any officer at any time was has
done nor for his people than Con-
gresham Clark. He, like all other
lawmakers at this time, is having
a difficult job, as there is so much
to be done and still more coming
up every day.
To fail to re-elect him would be
a calamity to our district and the
people of u district seem to
know it. But how about Mr.. Clark
knowledge as to how he has
pleased his people? Suppose we
send Mr.. Clark a card or letter
assuring him of his reelection.
His time is too valuable to do
much campaigning and it is for
our interest for him to remain
busy.
