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."

Washington, Aug. 27. 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.
