The former Secretary of State and chiet pnsldenmx cnmfll‘ner for Her- bert Hoover is counsel of the American Petmlcum TInstitute. ‘The institute wants to effect conser- vation by curtailment of output, which has just been branded illegal under the Rherman act by Attorney General Mitchell. ‘The institute, which virtually speaks for the whole oil industry, will meet in New York April 24. It will canvass the whole situation in light of latest de- velopments. It will especially consider the scheme advanced by Dr. Ray Lyman ‘Wilbur, as chairman of the Federal Oll Conservation Board, for an “interstate compact” to control output. The com- pact would include the three or four orincipal oil producing States, and the Federal Government would be a party to it if Congress approved. Opinion May Be Divided. Opinion on the Wilbur program, this writer learns in a well informed quar- ter, is likely to' be divided. One Amer- ican Petroleum Institute leader, hither- to an earnest advocate of the plan to curtail production on a nation-wide acale, believes the Federal Oil Conserva- tion Board's decentralization proposal is a sound and sensible one. He thinks it will stimulate lively interest through- out the industry. If operators have the will, this authority seems convinced that the Wilbur project provides the ‘way. Other big factors in the producing trade are inclined to stick to their guns. They do not think the Amer- ican Institute’s proposition, officially branded contrary to the spirit and pur- pose of the Sherman anti-trust law, de- serves that description at all. They deny vigorously that a systematic, wide- spread curtailment of output for a defi- e period would amount to price-fix- ing or price-regulation. No such plans are uuf to exist or to be contemplated. “What this thing amounts to in words of one syllable,” an authority explains, “is that the industry simply proposes to let a couple of million barrels of oil stay in the ground, instead of with- drawing it and placing it in storage at a cost of 50 cents a barrel. It is the surplus ofl, the oil the market today is not absorbing and cannot absorb, that it is proposed to leave in the earth instead of taking it out and putting it away in tanks.” Confident of Court Verdict. ‘The oil men who are convinced their - curtailment program is vitally necessary unless “a ‘national disaster” is to be avoided believe the; United States Sup! case and win it. favor taking It it adopted, Mr. Hughes in all probability will be the chixt legal protagonist for the industry. Some idea of the lawyer-jurist-states- man’s views on the burning subject may be obtained from the closing pas- sages of his address before the Federal Oll Conservation Board on May 27, 1926, when the very questions now agitating the country were under con- i sideration. Mr. Hughes said: “The remedies tfor oil conservation) ‘which have been proposed to the board are (1) scientific and (2) political. Political action is superficially attrac- tive, but it is beset with difficulties and it is not likely to succeed. Something might be accomplished by the removal of lenl obstacies to intelligent co- operation, Cracking Process Aids Conservation. “Sclentific effort holds the promise of the future. Much has already been accomplished. The cracking process has done more for conservation than any legislative scheme which could be put into effect under our constitution- al System. “The Government can accomplish much in stimulating and leldmg re- search. The oil industry is ready to co-operate in all practicable measures to promote research, to attain and dif. fuse more exact knowledge and to stim- ulate invention. Throughout the in- dustry, at this time as never before, the keenest minds are at work studying every process, searching for improye- ment in every direction. is, of could go to the ourt with their course, largely due to the demands of competition. It is motivated by intelli- gent self-interest. “It cannot be doubted, in view of the experimentation that is now going on, that we are on the eve of impor- tant improvements in every department of the industry; in methods of pro- duction; in the recovery of oil that sml lies below ihe surface within known flelds; in the utilization of what is pro- duced; in the promotion of efficiency, and in the development of substitutes. “The great service that this board ean render is to bring about an intel- ligent conception on the part of the Lbflc of the facts relating to the oil aunry. of its problems, both economic legal, and to foster the scientific mvms.-uom upon which ultimately the con-ervltinn of our vastly l.mptm.-m oil Tesources mu .fl,“’ffli’ F.
