NATiUNAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Wewspupers, M1} murth Avenue Bldg , Sesttle, "Vasi. pitesharitbi st st Coastal Oil Reserves - (Cincinnati Enquirer) | Upon the natural resources of a nation rests that nation’s security—and its future. This has been proved over and over again—from the earliest days of civili- zation down to the present. Nations which did not | preserve their soils, their woods and their waters de- | clined steadily in wealth, importance and prosperity. | In comparatively recent years metal—another in- | valuable natural resource—has come into the picture. Primitive man knew little of metal and its uses. But | today's civilization depends upon metals to fill a hun- dred thousand needs. This great underground resource has become as important to our living as the original three—soil, water and forests. 1t is interesting, then, to note attempts which are being made to raid the last great oil reserves which | this country owns. Off the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico lie titanic underground reservoirs. Potential output has been valued at between $20,000,000,000 and $30,000,000,000. Oil companies have been bending every effort to allow exploitation of thes resources— as they have exploited thg oil supplies of most of our States. But, because the Gulf fields lie well out in the sea, the Federal Government has guarded them successfully. The iss disguised as part of a State's rights program, will be an important one this fall. Oil companies are plugging for legislation which will allow, ; to the Gulf States, control of the coastal fields. The | States involved have shown, by past records, that | they are willing to do what the oil men 8esire. If the . OCTUBER 21 . . Beulah Lee . Mrs. Bess Lavenik . Dr. W. M. Whitehead | .
