DECLARED
ASSURED
Petroleum Institute Forecast
Covers Generation.
DA'ilELS IS CRITICISED
Policy on Xaval Reserves In Cali
fornia Is Declared to Be In
imical to Industry.
WASHINGTON'. Nov. 18. An oil
production sufficient to supply the
world for several generations at least
was forecast today at the annual
meeting here of the American petro
leum institute.
Henry L. Dohertv of New York,
Thomas A. O'Donnell of Los Angeles,
president of the institute, and R. D.
Benson, president of the Tidewater
Oil company, declared that the petro
leum resources of the world were
nowhere near exhaustion.
Mr. O'Donnell, however, attacked
the navy department - for -Us seizure
of oil stocks on the Pacific coast.
Producers there, he said, "feel that
the navy department has not been
fair." and added: "We believe this to
be due to the extreme prejudice of the
head of the department."
Frdrral Regulation Opposed.
Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Doherty both
declared that government regulation
of the petroleum industry was likely
to jeopardize the world's future oil
upply by discouraging development
of new fields.
"What the petroleum business needs
Is assurance that it can proceed in the
It is capable of expansion and I be
lieve in sufficient quantity to - meet
the requirements of the Pacific coast.
The production last month' was the
greatest that it has ever been in the
history of the state.
The country is growing and needs
the assistance of the petroleum in-H
dustry. There should be active en
couragement in the development of
water power resources of the Pacific
coast. In the meantime, I am confi
dent that the petroleum resources
will be sufficient."
T
October Output 305,102 Barrels.
SAX FRANCISCO, Nov. 18. Total
production during October of 305-102
barrels of crude oil from all Califor
nia fields, a new high mark, was re
ported here today by the Standard Oil
company of California.
CHINESE REBEL ESCAPES
LEADER OF AXFUS AT LARGE
AXD JAPANESE CRITICISED.
Pekin. Government Perturbed While
Newspapers Hint at Conspiracy
With Nipponese Military.
PEKIN, Nov. 18. (By the Assoc!
ated Press.) General Hsu Shu
Cheng, former commander of the Chi
nese frontier forces in Mongolia, and
a leader of the Anfu elements which
have been opposing the government.
is again at large. Notification of his
escape from the Japanese legation
here, where he took refuge last sum
mer, was sent by the Japanese nun
ister to the Chinese foreign office on
November 15.
Replying today to the minister's
notification of thesescape, the foreign
office called attention to the Japan
ese plenipotentiary's previous assur
ance that the Anfu refugees in the
legation would not be permitted to
leave or communicate with the out
side world. The foreign office re
quested that the remaining eight
rpfne-oa in thn lecalmn he hanrlpd
development of new sources of sup-Liver to its custody. It was pointed
ply, Air. Doherty declared, in a com
petitive and non-restricted manner.
Government regulation and meddling
will check the initiative of oil com
panies, resulting in a restricted out
put." Mr. Ioherty predicted there would
be sufficient gasoline for all auto
motive requirements for generations
to come. He said scientists undoubt
edly would discover new fuel extracts,
but was of the opinion that the prob
abHity of finding an artificial substi
tute for petroleum was remote.
Monopoly Held ImponKlhle.
The immense capital noeded for de
velopment of new oil fields precludes
the possibility of the petroleum in
dustry becoming a monopoly, the
epcaker said. More money, he con
tinued, is being spent in the produc
tion of oil than is earned by produc
ing properties. Between 1912 and
1919 the amount of capital invested in
250 American oil companies, the
speaker said, exceeded the dividends
paid by the companies by nearly
$900,000,000.
Mr. O'Donnell declared that the at
titude of the navy department toward
Pacific coast producers, coupled with
agitation for government investiga
tion of the industry, "nearly always
by men not familiar with the subject
and frequently with preconceived
prejudice, has had a destructive in
fluence on the development of
petroleum resources on the Pacific
coast."
The speaker urged that all gov
ernments adhere to the "open door
policy." allowing a free opportunity
for everybody from everywhere to
participate in the necessary oil de
velopment. Daniels' Policy Attacked.
An attack on Secretary Daniels be
cause of his insistence that the naval
oil reserves in California be with
held from public exploitation was
made by Thomas A. O'Donnell, presi
dent of the organization.
"The oil producers of the Pacific
coast." said Mr. O'Donnell. "feel that
the navy department has not been
fair with the producers of the west.
We believe this to be due to the ex
treme prejudice of the head of the
navy department. While an armistice
has been signed with the Germans,
no armistice has been offered to the
oil producers by the navy depart
ment." Mr. O'Donnell said that In the face
of the oil shortage on the Pacific
coast, "the most serious anywhere in
the country, the producers there had
had to contend with a most deplorable
Situation, the withdrawal of public
lands, with active drilling in progress
and many millions of dollars already
invested, which brought about years
or expensive and exhaustive litiga
tion.
a naval reserve was created on
these lands two years ago, after the
development had started." continued
Mr. ODonnell, "and unjust public
opinion created by constant publicity
promoted a general belief that the
plutocratic oil producer of the wesi
was trying to steal something from
our navy."
Mr. O'Donnell asserted that agita
tion by government officials and
politicians was as dangerous as gov
ernment regulations and interference.
It destroys ability, credit and confi
dence as to the future, he declared.
Discussing the seizure by the navy
department of oil stocks on the Pa
cific coast, the speaker declared that
this action, together with plans of the
government to investigate the netro
leum industry, has had a destructive
influence on the development of oil
resources in the west.
Price Are Declared Low.
"Notwithstanding the increasing de
jnands and constant draft on stocks
on the Pacific coast, continued Mr.
O'Wonnell. "the prices of petroleum
ri its products have been much less
ttvan in any other part of the United
States. Yet we have been subjected to
constant criticism and discouragin
public agitation. Resolutions have
been offered in the United States sen
ate to investigate our methods and
prices.
"We have had an assistant attorney-general
trying to obtain evidence
to prosecute us. The Federal Trade
commission has been investigating
ns; our state railroad commission in
Quiring as to some public action -on
their part; the United States war
chips have seized supplies at our ter
minals, and have repeatedly threat
ened seizure of stocks. in all of ou
ports, offering much less than it cos
the marketer.
fhariN Considered Refuted.
"All of these things happening a
the same time, in all of these mves
tigations, litigation in court and
inr criticisms, we have finally suc
ceeded in refuting the charges
arainst us. However, accumulative
effect of such agitation has had a
destructive influence on the develop
ment of the petroleum resources on
the Pacific coast. A friendly co-operative
spirit by our navy department
and other government officials would
have been helpful.
"Referring again to our navy, I be
lieve that a healthy and prosperous
activity In the petroleum industry is
of the utmost importance to that de
partment, and on behalf of the
petroleum producers of the west I
wish to assert that we are always
prepared to do our share in its sup
port, not only to s;ive it our oil and
properties if necessary, but our lives
if required.
"California has some of the most
wonderful oil deposits in the world.

nays after General Hsu s escape be

of this delay is voiced in the Chinese

to have information that General Hsu

GRAFTED BY LEAGUE
Big Army Needed to Patrol
Vilna During Plebiscite.
FORCE TO QUELL RIOTERS
England, France and Belgium
Make 'o Statement as to
Size of Their Contingents. .
GENEVA, Nov. 18. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Spain and Great Britain
will send military contingents to
Vilna to maintain order during the
"popular consultation of inhabitants.
This announcement was made this
evening by the assembly of the league
of nations. 'It was added that the
French and Belgian governments al
ready had agreed to dispatch con
tingents thither.
There had been no intimation here
that this action by the assembly was
impending. The communication issued
this afternoon avoids the use of the
word "plebiscite" in connection with
the dispatch of troops. When Gen
eral Zellgouski entered Vilna with
his outlaw troops some time ago he
announced it as his purpose to allow
the inhabitants to determine their
government.
In a somewhat agitated.sesslon to
day the league assembly completed
ts organization by the election 01
six vice-presidents, who, with the six
chairmen of the committees selected
yesterday form a sort of executive
committee of the assembly. The non
European nations, for whom much
solicitude was shown yesterday, had
no complaint to make as they ob
tained four vice-presidents instead of
the three they had asked for.
Japan, Canada Get Official.
These were Viscount 'Ishii. Japan;
Honorio Pueyrredon, Argentina: Sir
George E. Foster, Canada, and Rod-
rigo Octavio, Brazil. The other vice
presidents are H. A. Van Karnabeek,
Holland, and ' Dr. Edward Benes,
Czecho-Slovakia.
Picturesque features of the session
were furnished byv Baron Hayashi,
head of the Japanese delegation. Dr.
p'ridjof Nansen, Norway, Gustave
Ador, ex-president of Switzerland, and
the two leading members of the Bra
zilian delegation.
Baron Hayaehi, attracted attention
when he arose to ask the delegates
to vote for Viscount Ishii, Japanese
ambassador to France, if Japan was
to have a vice-president.
Greeting Touches Spectators.
The whole assembly looked on with
great interest when after M. Ador.
who is also an ex-president of the
International Red Cross, had gra
ciously replied to the remarks of Dr.
Nansen. regarding the Red Cross, the
explorer rushed down a side aisle,
with characteristic steel-trap action,
to grasp M. Ador's hand in a hand
shake so warm and real that the sen
timent was communicated to the
spectators.
A curious result of the first ballot
for vice-presidenUs was a tie between
Rodrigo Octavio, Brazilian under-sec-retary
for foreign affairs, and Dr.
Gastoa da Cunha. Brazilian ambassa
dor sto France, for sixth vice-president.
While the. assembly was dis
cussing the proposed vote for the re
maining vice-president, an animated
conversation proceeded at Brazilian
bench, each candidate insisting that
he be allowed to withdraw in favor
of the other. A second ballot wad
taken, however.
ItcHpect Paid Mottn.
As - an act of courtesy, Giuseppe
Motta, president of the Swiss con
federation who had delivered the ad
dress of welcome, was elected
honorary president of the first as
sembly of the league."
Rumors whicn had been current all
week that certain combinations had
been formed to carry pre-arranged
programmes through the assembly
were denied from two sources. M.
Pueyrredon, for the Argentine delega
tion, said that it was absolutely un
true so far as Argentina is concerned
that the South American republics
were In an understanding with other
neutrals to force the admission of Ger
many into the league.
The British dominions representa
tives made it clear that they were
here to represent their particular
dominion without reference to sister
dominions or the mother country.
Poland May Get Mandate.
Under some circumstances the league
of nations might invite Poland to
become the military defender of Dan
zig, that nation has been informed by
the council of the league.
It was announced today that the
council has approved the constitution
of Danzig as a free city under guar
antee of the league, as previously
drafted, with some modifications, Po
land being informed that while it is
impossible to accord her the exclusive
right of the military defense of Dan
zig, circumstances might arise under
which the league might invite Poland
to undertake the city's defense.
Madrid Hears Draft Rumor.
MADRID, Nov. 18. A rumor that
Spain has been called upon by the
league of nations to participate in an
international military occupation of
Lithuania is published by the major-it;-
of the Madrid newspapers today.
