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.
