WASHINGTON, April 28.—(Special to The Tribune}—Letters and tele- grams from Wyoming authorities and government officials denying that the “Beapot dome can be drained by oil operations in the Sait Creek fields ‘were submitted to the semie taly by Senator Robert M. LaFollette of In @ speech in support of Ykie resolution remanding the full facts regarding the leasing of the na- wal. reserve to the Mammoth Ofl com- pany, a Sinclair interest, Senator La- Folistte declared: “The only possible justification Which can be offered for this action ‘depleted by the drilling of wells on e@djoining privately owned lands No -ether walid reason can be advanced “@nd some reason of paramount im. «pertance for the action taken will have to be proved before the public will accept this reversal of an ap- Proved government policy which has {been in force nearly 13 years. “The interior department has stat- @that an ‘expert of this department’ has found that the Teapot dome was menaced by drainage. This lal ‘for department, is contrary to nearly | ail-opinions of geological experts who have heretofore examined and are in- timtely acquainted with this field. “In order to be possessed of current information, I sent a telegram to Gov- emor Robert D. Carey of Wyoming, a Republican by the way, from whom \Lreceived the following reply, which ‘I:now desire to read: Cheyenne, Wyo., April 25, 1922, Hon. Robert M. LaFollette, United States Senate. In reference to your inquiry relative to Naval Reserve | No. 3, while it is possible that agree- } ment may prove beneficial to the oil industry in this state, I seriously doubt it, as an increased produc- tion may lower prices, causing both state school and road funds and the United States reclamation fund to suffer accordingly. From such in- formation as I have been able to obtain, I believe there is no chance of the Salt Creek field draining the Teapot dome. Regardless of all ' ether objections to the agreement, @ great wrong is being done Wyo- | ming to rob it of one of its most valuable natural resources and giv- ; img the state nothing in return. Wurther, the reserve was created to assure the navy a supply of oil at some future time when oll might | not be available from other sources. To use this oil now may mean that, at some time this country may be seriously embarrassed in a war for lack of fuel for its navy. From the standpoint of the navy, it would ap- pear that the navy desires this oil in order to be relieved of purchas- ing oil elsewhere and using the | naval appropriation for other pur- poses. No one can justify the bar- tering away of valuable natural re- sources, the property of the state and nation.
