Business and Industry
DEALERS WILL GIVE
OIL IMPORT STUDY

The Standard OIL Company of
New Jersey is taking its fight to
prevent imposition of curbs on oil
imports. through Congressional
action. into all corners Of the
u. S.. through a campaign placed
in the hand of ESQ dealers.
Farmville distributors have for
use of the public copies Of q
Standard study which concludes
that proposed curbs on oil inn
ports are unwarranted and would
injure consumers.
Such import restrictions, which
are being urged on Congress. the
report notes, would leopardlze
military fuel supplies and would
run counter to our counuy's ef-
forts to help friendly nations
toward greater economic strength
through freer world trade. "
The report, which at some
length cites figures TO prove its
points. indicates that pressure for
the import imposition stems from
claims that such imports are a
major cause of recent decreases
in coal production and have
harmed the domestic oil-produc-
ine industry. 1t denies such
claims.
Such declines, it states. are due
mainly to factors of chronological
progress, such as conversion of
naval and marine fleets to oil.

sumers' preferences in home heat
ing, and expansion of the natural
gas industry,
