Pacific War Theatre to Receive
MoreU&W
I WASHINGTON, Dec. SS--Severt Allied and friendly nations are
J cooperating to relieve the burden of shipping crude oil from California
to British Columbia; the .petroleum administration for war (PAW)
announced today j - .-.'
The scheduling" of shipments with Great Britain, Ecuador, Colom
bia, Uruguay, Venezuela, the United States and Canada collaborating
has now been completed despite
the increasing demand for oil i
from the Pacific fighting fronts,
PAW Administrator ? Harold. L.
Iskes said.
Canada Diverts Demand
Although California is the nor
mal source of crude oil for the
Canadian, province, the Canadian
government undertook to divert
its demands to South America at
the request of PAW last July.
With mur iDC e that PAW
would give assistance in obtaining
oil supplies and - in scheduling
tankers for the longer haul, Can
adian oil controller George R.
Crotelle undertook to obtain as
much as possible of the 20,000
barrel daily consumption of Brit
ish Columbia from Latin Ameri
can sources.
Ecuador's Surplus Taken ;
Ickes said arrangements have
been made with British authori
ties to deliver from Ecuador the
entire exportable surplus- of Lcrude
oil which could be used in the
British Columbia refineries.! This
mounted to about 4000 barrels a
day produced by a British com
pany which formally shipped to
Uruguay and Argentina.
The Uruguay importer agreed
to the suspension of its contract
and to the acceptance of oil from
Venezuela asji replacement This
resulted in saving about 2000
tanker miles because of the short
er haul from Ecuador to British
Columbia.
California Oil Saved
In addition it was arranged to
have about 11,000 barrels of heavy
crude from Colombia shipped to
British Columbia, thereby reduc
ing demands on California pro
ducers. These shipments began
late in September, but this month,
because of a shortage of tankers,
it was necessary for Canada to re
turn to California for about 6000
barrels a day. - The latter deliv
cries were made possible by an in
creased rate of production in Cal
ifornia.
At the end of March it will be
determined whether to return to
South America for the 6000 bar
rels daily. Meanwhile the Canad
ian refineries have been able to
import 2000 barrels of light crude
oil daily from Columbia.
Sardines were named after the
island of Sardinia. '

during heavy . rainstorm , that
swept the camp here yesterday

were freshly 'shaven," Holden
