THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PO RTLAND, FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1918. KORATON IS THE CAUSE FOR PETROL SHORTAGE Director of Fuel Division of Food Administration Says No In tent to Limit Use of Gasoline. CONDITIONS UNLIKE BRITAIN England Does Not Produce Its Oil, While This Country Has Immense Quantity for Export. Washington, Arrll 13. There Is no horta?e of petroleum for our lmnedlate needs, according to Mark L. Requa, dl rctor of the division of the United States fuel administration. The lack Is one entirely of transportation. Gaso line must be produced "as a by product In the manufacture of fuel oil used In the navy, In merchant ships and In In dustrial plants, and the gasoline must be disposed of. Crude oil containing the lighter, volatile oIIb, such as gasoline, I daiiRerous for fuel purposes until the gasoline is removed. ObvlouBly, unless this gasoline is sold and conHurned, the cost of fuel oil will Increase. There is, therefore no inten tion on the part of the fuel administra tion to shut off or limit the supply o.f gasoline for use in motor vehicles. "' Xot Like England "There has been considerable discus sion hs to cutting off the supply of gasoline to passenger vehicles, following the precedent set In England," said Mr. 1 Hequa, "but the conditions are entire ly dissimilar, for the reason that Kng lahd produces no oil and has to rely entirely upon exports overseas. The United States, on the contrary, not only produces the oil for Its own con sumption, but large surplus quantities for export. "It has been demonstrated recently that it is Impossible to take oil for any specific purpose without exerting a detrimental influence on some other branch of the Industry. The problem Of what Is least essential Is an ex tremely difficult one to determine, and I am somewhat of the opinion that the tion-esMcntial Industry does not exist. lleaaon for Priority List , "It is fiuito obvious that the oil fa cilities of the United States must be used in such a way us to produce the maximum benefit, viewed from a na tional standpoint, to meet the, existing . crisis. The priority list was established for the reason that It is impossible, because of transportation shortage, to supply all consumers. When the supply is suf ficient, the priority list automatically veasPs lo operate. When a shortage does exist. Class 13 receives no oil un til All lower numbered classes are sup plied. "Total stocks in the United Stages approximate lfiO.000,000 barrels, as of January 1. Last year's production , ap proximated 320,000.000' and there was M draTt on 'utock of about 20,000,000. There la ample oil territory available In various parts of the United States. It Is only a question of drilling to se cure It." Farmer Jllg Users of Autos Forty one per cent of all automobiles registered Ih Minnesota are owned in communities having a population of less than 1000. and lens than 30 per cent In cities of 10,000 or more population. More than half of the cars in the state are owned in villages or communities having 2000 or fewer residents. Of the 39,086 cars 'sold in the state during 1917, farmers and residents of Villages having no more than 2000 populatloiAbought 19,301, or very nearly one-half, while 14,940 were purchased In communities of fewer than 1000 per rons. An Investigation of this subject made by the 'Standard Farm paper .associa tion shows that in - 11 towns In good farming and datrkng territory, ranging from ioOO to 30,000. and having a com blned population of 95,336, the number of motor cars owned on November .1, last, was 10,637, or one for every nine persons, while In eight town of aim liar Size, located In mining and lumbering areas, with a combined population of 65.290, only 4036 cars were owned,' or one for more than 16 persons. ' This la concrete evidence that the farmer has a higlk appreciation of 'the utility of the motor car In his business, This Is easily understood when 'It Is remembered that I the farmer is de pendent entirely upon his own means of transportation, has long distances to go to market' and his time is needed on the farm rather than on the road.

"Unfortunately, however, there are a number of ambitious gentlemen in Oregon, some with suddenly, acquired wealth, who fall to take this view of the situation. The only real excuse they have for entering the senatorial primaries is that they want the job. This Is a very poor excuse in this world crisis." "Whtle I have little to fear of tha people's verdict in this contest, large sums of money are being spent to de feat the present Incumbent and the un expected may happen. In that event the game will be open and I hope to be in position to take a hand."
