WORLD'S SUPPLY OF COAL ENOUGr FOR 3700 YEARS GENEVA (UP). Man .need not to or i' v about a coal shortaae before the year 5638. An international labor office re port on the world coal industry says that If the future rate of extrac tion does not exceed the average of 1925-'35, the world's supply of bitu minous and anthracite coal will last at least another 37 centuries. If, however, the extraction rate Increases by 0.5 percent annually, the report says, it will last only six centuries; while an annual Increase of 2 percent will exhaust It In 200 years. The proved, and probable, world reserves are estimated at 4,600.000 million metric tons. The United States has the greatest reserves, estimated at 1,975,000 mil lion metric tons (a metric ton is S.204.8 pounds), with Soviet Russia second with 1,075,000 million metric tons, and Germany third with 289, 000 million metric tons. Next in order come Canada, 286,000 millions; China. 220.000 millions: Great Brit tain. 200.000 millions; and Poland 138.000 millions. Based on the extraction average of 1925-'35. Soviet Russia will out last all competitors. Producing 30.3 million metric tons annually, its supply Is good for another 35,474 years; or 1.037 years with an annual increase in the rate of extraction of 0.5 percent, and 330 years with an annual Increase of 2 percent. On the same reckoning, the Unit ed States, extracting 535.8 million metric tons a year, has supplies for another 3.686 years: or 593 years with an increase of 0.5 percent In the extraction rate, and 217 years with a similar lncresse of 2 per cent. Great Britain, however, ex tracting 230.3 million metric tons a year, -has reserves for only another 868 years. An annual increase in extraction of 0.5 percent would ex haust them in 329 years, and a 2 percent Increase would do it in 147 years. Germany, producing 148.1 million mrtrlr tons a year from 1925-'35. has supplies, at that rat, for another 1,951 years. Reckoning on the same 1925- 36 bafis. Poland, producing 37.8 mil lion metric tons a year, has enough for 3.651 years; and China, extract ing 16.5 millions metric tons a year has enough for another 13.330 years. , Ford llark Home DETROIT, April 30.
