Man to Man
Pinch in U. S. Oil Supplies Already Felt
AS Shipments to Russia Continue

way to Moscow via Wadivostok,
there is a lively controversy going
on in the newspapers as to whether
there is not scarcity of gasoline
either present or in prospect. One
newspap per cried out that The Pc
troleum shortage in the United
States is now the worst in the his
tory OF the country = = y" 1t Is stern
ly demanded that pending exports
to Russia be cancelled. To this,
H. D. Collier, chairman of the board
of the Standard Oil Company of
California, replied that West Coast
motorists have been needlessly
alarmed" He actually said this a
few hours after an Army-Navy Pc
troleum board in San Francisco had
warned that civilian gasoline and
oil consumption must be curtailed
by July I If oil companies cannot
meet urgent military requirements"
It should be noted that the profess
sionally optimistic Mr.. Collier, after
assuring the world that there will
be ample gasoline and oil for the
1947-48 season, went on to suggest
that the Elk Hills naval oil field IN
California be opened up, IF the
military supply situation is as seri-
GUS on the Pacific Coast as described
in some reports" There is plenty
of oil in Elk Hills. he suggested.
Confused Thinking.
That Mr.. Collier is addicted to
confused thinking, I have known
from experience. If there Is plenty
of gasoline and oil on the Pacific
Coast, then there can be no occasion
to draw on the Elk Hills military re-
serve. In addition, these reserves be-
long to the Nation and should be
held onto as long as possible In the
event of another national emer-
gency.
Representative Weichel, Republi-
can, Of Ohio has taken a particular
interest In the shipments Of oil to
Russia. When he sought information
on the subject, he became impressed
with. the coyness, not only of the
West Coast oil executives, but of
Government oficlaIs In Washington
He finally wrung out the fact that
this precious American oil was being
shipped in tankers that we're built
by the United States Government as
late as 1943 and turned over TO-
Russia by, the Maritime Commis-
sion. At the time that this is WRIT
ten, the Congress member is still
trying to find out what American
companies are shipping the oil.
At this point it might be in order
to wonder why no one seems to
know, or at least to talk about these
oil shipments. OF course, it may be
because no company wants to be
known as having shipped oil and
gasoline to Russia when our own
people cannot buy what they want.

SuIyok S Party Leaves
Hungarian Parliament
After Reds Block Talk
BY the Asseciotsd Press

BUDAPEST, July 2.-The entire
parliamentary membership of Desc
Sulyok's Freedom Party walked out
of Parliament yesterday after
shouts and jeers Of Communist
Party members prevented the de-
fant sulyok from speaking against
economic totalitarianism" which,
he declared, would result from a
Communist proposed three year
plan" f''o'''s' '-.
During the great din created by
the Communists, one of the last
audible remarks of Mr. Sulyok was:
after this. consider freedom
of speech at the Hungarian Parlia-
ment as abolished and, therefore, I
refrain from my right to speak"
Replies to Question of Flight.
Amid jeers and catcalls, the Com
munists shouted, when are you
going to fee the country?"-an ap-
parent reference to the action of
other Communist leaders who
fled after the Communists seized
actual control of the country last
month.
The Sulyok party members
started for the door and Mr.. Sulyok,
just before passing from the room,
turned and replied: I'VE will still
be here when you have ceased
to be-"
Mr.. Sulyok said two weeks ago,
after a Freedom party meeting at
Szeged had been broken up by
Communists, that he would confine
his opposition tactics to Parliament
where free speech was guaranteed
and would not hold any more open
meetings soon because I'VE don't
want to start a civil war"

American help. But in order to
avoid potential trouble. they in
sisted that the U. S. s. r. be invited
to discuss the European plan being
formulated on the basis Of Secretary
of State Marshall's proposals.
1t was at their instigation that
the American Government included
the U. s. 8. r. and its satellites in the
projected distribution of billions of
dollars worth of American raw ma
terials, manufactured goods and
money.
The hopes of British Foreign Sec
'retary Bevin and French Foreign
Minister Bidault scared when the
Kremlin announced that Mr.. Molo-
tov would attend the conference.
Many high officials in Washington,
however, were fearful that the So
Wet foreign minister would 60 to
Paris only to create new trouble.
Nevertheless, they were willing to
give the Soviets thr. benefit of the
doubt.
Attitude of Hostility.
Mr.. Molotov's attitude in Paris
was one of intense hostility. He
paid no attention to the desperate
need of the peoples outside the
iron curtain and raised such condi-
tions to Russias cooperation with
the western nations that it soon
became evident that Western Eu-
rope will have to give up all hope
of working with the east for its
economic and political salvation.
What Mr. Molotov has done, in
effect, has been to force the west
ern democracies to create western
bloc, an afiliation which the Rus
slams have long denounced as a
dangerous threat to peace, but
which has never actually existed
except as an Intangible spirit or
feeling of common interest.

This Changing World
Molotov Seen Out to Force Formation
Of Western Bloc in Order to Torpedo II

MIR. Molot0v Is relying on the
strong and powerfully organized
Communist minorities. in Western
Europe to sabotage-by all means
in their power, including violence
any attempt by the non-C Communist
governments to get together for the
physical reconstruction of their
countries.
There seems to be no doubt at
present that under the leadership
Of Britain and France the west will
present plan Of its own to the
American Government for economic
rehabilitation. This plan necessarily
will have to be studied by the Amer
ican Government and approved by
Congress, possibly in special ses-
sion this fall.
Meanwhile, however, Soviet prop
aganda will incite the Communist
stooges in Western Europe to oppose,
and II necessary overthrow, their
"traitorous" governments which are
declared to be selling out to Amer
ican Imperialism and capitalism. In
this way the Kremlin politicos hope
to stir up endless trouble in Europe
and expect to establish their con-
troll in those parts Of Europe where
they are not yet in power.
Broadcasts DenOunce U. s.
Russian broadcasters are already
blasting American militarism. The
most recent broadcasts, during the
Paris Conference, violently denounce
this country for maintaining an
armed force of 100000 men. They
hold this up as an unmistakable in
dication of our expansionist aims.
A statement by 1t. Gen. Ira Baker
to the effect that we must be pre-
pared for potential enemies before
actual shooting begins, was COM
pared with Hitler's blitzkrieg and
held to be leading to furious ar
mament race and unrestrained mill
tarism."
An analysis by American experts
Of the results of the Paris pariey
forces the conclusion that Mr.. Molo-
tov has put into effect long-ranse
policy of the Politbureau: To pre-
cipitate the creation of the western
economics can no longer
be divorced from politics-and at
the same >time attempt to destroy
it by means of Communist organiza-
tons before it is crystallized into
an effective group.
Mr.. Molotov's hostile attitude in
Paris forecasts a "hot summer" in
more than one way. A
wave of military and political ag7
gressions is feared. They may start
in Greece and spread from East to
West, long before slow-moving DEM
ocratic governments have had time
to take precautions.

This quotation was in capital letters.
How many members of Congress
have read this treatise on oil. I do
not know. Probably they have been
few in number. In any event, no
action has been taken, and little, If
any, interest shown.
Pinch Already Felt.
But what I, among very, very few
others, have tried to do, the stark
facts have accomplished Now, on
the Hill, where statesmen are sup
posed to grow, there Is a great, if
belated, to-do about oil. Vehement
speeches are. being made. resolutions
are being introduced and congress
sional investigations are being un-
dertaken. The reason is that the
pinch is already being felt. People
in the Middle West have been told
that they cannot have, during the
coming summer months, all of the
petroleum that they might like to
have. Worse still, they will not. be
able to make sure contracts for
fuel oil for next winter. In the
East, the situation looks better be-
cause gasoline can be brought into
the Eastern ports, as well as crude
oil for refining, by tankers. How
ever, even along the Eastern Sea-
board. there are likely to be times
and places where both gasoline and
fuel oil for civilian use will be at
least temporarily in insufficient
supply.
At least the Navy Department
seems to have caught up with what
I have been saying for a long time.
Acting Secretary Of the Navy John
l.. Sullivan has advised Congress
that "the (oiD reserves on the East
coast are inadequate to meet an
emergency" And another Navy
spokesman has warned that the
United States Fleet might be
largely immobilized" If oil imports
were shut off during war.
