By the Assoclated Press. TOPEKA, December 15.—Secretary of Thurman Hill of the Kansas Public jService Commission that he believed it to be “practically impossible” to per- suade importing companies to stop all imports of oil products and to curtail crude imports to 140,000 barrels a day. Mr. Hill, Gov. Harry M. Woodring's | representative on the' Nine-State Oil | Advisory Committee, then issued & state- ;m(-ul saying “the only hope now is re- | jcourse to Congress for tariff and, em- | | bargo legisletion.” Curtailments of imports had been suggested by Commission'~ Hill as a | means of bolstering domestic crude | prices. States of the Midcontinent area are closely restricting production at | present by agreement. Doubts Good in Plan. “Judging from the difficulties encoun- tered in bringing about the original of 1928 imports),” Secretary Lamont said. "1 believe it will be practically im- possible o bring these companies to rour point of view. And even if they ugreed, it 1s doubtful if this reduction m imports would accomplish what you have in mind,” Secretary Lamont said. hose companies operating in the foreign field will not close their plants. | They most certainly will make an effort to market their product in foreign countries and this will have the effect |ot cutting down our exports of these | products.” For many years our total ex- i ports of oil products have been more ithan double our total imports.
