EXPLOITATION OF PETROLEUM
DEPOSITS IS BEING URGED
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Nov. 30.—It was an
nounced in the house of commons
this week that “certain eminent Am
erican geologists, who have come
from the United States to advise the
government, hold that it is well worth
while to spend a considerable sum ol
money in exploring the possible pe
troleum deposits in Great Britain,”
, The speaker, a spokesman for the
board of trade, added: “It is im
possible to exaggerate the importance
of finding oil in this country. We
cannot yet say that it is here, but it
'is certainly worth looking for.. Oil
is almost more important at this mo
ment than anything else. You may
have men. munitions, and money, but
it you have no oil you are without
the greatest motive power we are us
ing, and the rest will be of little
value.”
