The report Indi cates that there is cause for alarm. Jite in 1924 President Coolldg" appointed the Federal Oil Conser vation Hoard, eonsisiing of four members of his cabinet, to make a study of the future supply of pe troleum in the United States. , In consequence of the president's no tion, the Hoard of Directors of the American Petroleum. Institute ap pointed a committee to make re port on the future supply of nnd dejnand for petroleum,- Tho com mittee, enlisting the co-operation of experts in oil and of numerous authorities outside tho industry, conducted an investigation which has taken six months to complete. The report is probably ho most thorough study of the oil industry that has ever been made. Predictions of failure of, the American supply of oil have been made almost from the ' beginning of the oil industry. All have prov ed fallacious. When the produc tion of old fields has dropped Off, the oil Industry has found Hew fetlds. Oil Is a hidden resource. Without actual drilling there is no way of telling where it lies nor how much of it there is. It must be nought and discovered. There are, how ever, sound facts on which to bnse an estimate of how much oil exist ing fields will yield through pres ent methods of pumpinj; and low ing. The report fixes the figure nt five billion, three hundred mil lion barrels. And the estimate is made that after present fields ceas to produce there will remain In the ground, unrecoverable by pumping or flowing, twenty-six bll Hon barrels of oil. a large portion of which may lie recovered through new, but known, methods, such as flooding with water, the use of air or gas pressure to force the oil out, or mining. Altogether this com prises a considerable quantity of oil "in sight." Hut the-major re serves of the nation lie In an area of more than a billion unexplored acres of land in Hie T'nlted Mates htch are geologically favorable lo the presence of oil. Here new fields are to be discovered. Then there are imports. particularly from South America, which wlH relieve the Btraln on the American re serves. And when, If ever, the sup ply of petroleum falls, the nation has huge deposits of oil shale, coal and lignites, from all of which Mfiuld fuel and lubricants can be obtained in such vast .quantities as to present an aspect of unlimited supply, which will be drawn upon as price of products Justifies devel opment. The report draws particular at tention to two Impending develop ments of very great Importance. One is the extension within the industry of "craking" crudo oil. a process which Increases tho yield of the all-Important gasoline.
