GOVERNMENT TO
DEVELOP COAL
OF TERRITORY
WASHINGTON, May 19—In anti
cipation of the early passage of the
navy appropriation bill carrying $1,
000,000 for the development of navy
coal in the Matanuska field of Alaska,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
appointed a commission of naval of
ficers to direct the development.
The commission consists of Com
mander O. C. Dowling, a line officer;
Lieut.' Richard H. Gifford, corps of
engineers; Lieut. R. J. Weiss, a line
officer; Lieut. Robt. T. Candta* medi
cal corps, and lieutenant, junior
grade; Hugh H. McManus, supply
corps.. All these officers had consid
erable war service. Lieut. Weiss,
who is a graduate of the University
of Washington, and a Seattle man,
also has had experience in Alaska.
The commission will leave Seattle
tomorrow for Alaska. It will go
straight to the Matanuska field for
the summer Its plans are somewhat
nebulous but to them has been turned
over the report of the commission,
which visited Alaska and reported on
the situation last year and all other
available data. Preliminary studies
are being made of this material.
More than ever the navy is interest
ed in an actual and potential coal
supply as fuel for the ships of the
navy.
So great is the actual shortage of
oil becoming that the policy, adopted
a few years ago, of building only oil
burners for the navy promises to be
reversed. That a supply of coal is a
military necessity for the navy is
becoming more and more apparent,
particularly in view of recently de
veloped facts and recently promul
gated statistics on the oil supply of
the world.
In the readjustment of nations fol
lowing the war, it is now apparent
that Great Britain has absorbed the
faraway countries that contain po
tential oil supply. Only today the
London Daily Express boasted, ac
cording to dispatches, that “‘an extra
ordinary and far-reaching attempt on
the part of a foreign oil trust to se
cure control of the British petroleum
supplies in Mesopotamia has been de
j ^ j-_* ~
j liiv amv-u i t-m/o xu uau
Remo, under the leadership of Pre
mier Eloyd George. The conference
declared that Mesopotamia oil field
should be retained by Britain, and
this temporarily halts the menace.”
The Daily Express identified the
trust as the Royal Dutch Corpora
tion. Official statements by the
United States government indicate
that there is only an 18-year supply
of oil in sight in this country.
John Barton Payne, secretary of
the interior, in the statement said the
“United States is now using more oil
each month than the whole world
used in the year 1885. These are
facts that must be faced by every
citizen who uses any petroleum
product, whether fuel oil, gasoline
or lubricating oil, and these figures
likewise raise questions of public
policy for in this matter the United
States is certainly living beyond her
means.”
These things, taken in connection
with the navy’s great difficulty in ob
tainig fuel oil even at a price which
it regards as excessive, is giving the
navy department cause for serious
consideration. Hence, it is turning to
Alaska, the one place where it has
coal reserves of its own.
