The world never knows its own strength OUR FIRST TANKER, the "George Loomis," was steam-powered but it carried a spare tire in the form of sails an 1895 version of Safety First. The cargo was today's most modern fuel oil and some of it was used by the vessel, too. But in a pinch, sail ormen depended as did Co lumbus and the first Chinese junk on a puff of wind. Everyone is entitled to smile at what happened in Grand father's day of bustles, handle bar mustaches, and semi-windjammers. Yet the world may be as far behind the times now as it was then when it comes to enjoying the fit'l uses of petroleum. Although the way is not yet economically clear, tomorrow your great-great-grandsons may smile to think that with petro leum available, this generation didn't live in houses constructed of petroleum plastics, wear clothing made of petroleum base fabrics, and enjoy foods extracted from crude oil. Pass the RPM biscuits, pappy! The oil industry spends some thing like 22 million dollars a vear on research an endeavor in which Standard holds a po sition of leadership. Both good business and a public sen ice is the effort to learn the possibilities of oil and to cut short the lag in spreading their benefits so clearly illustrated by the sails in the "George Loomis."

Ji A combination excess profits tax and amortization bill long urged as essential for acceler ating defense preparations was reported to the house today with the unanimous approval of its ways and means committee. After a protracted deadlock over some of the measure's pro visions, the committee reached agreement late yesterday, and leaders were hopeful that the house would pass the bill before the end of the week. The proposed bill contains these main provisions: 1 It would impose on cor porations an excess profits tax of from 20 to 50 per cent, with the object of preventing "war millionaires"; I. It would permit defense industries to deduct from tax able income and profits over a five year period the full cost of expansion necessary to han dle defense orders; 3 It would suspend the pres ent 7 and 8 per cent limitation imposed on the profits mania facturer can make on govern ment orders for aircraft and warships. Unofficial estimates place the 1940 yield from the excesa profits levy at about $.100,000, 000, as compared with the $190,. 000.000 that would have been realized under the original Us schedules proposed before the bill was revised.
