(R~v Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Henry L. Doherty, head of Cities Service Co., in full page advertisements to be published in newspapers tomorrow, charges the United States with "passing the bunk" in conservation of oil and that meanwhile the na- tional resources are being wasted. "I have no fight with our federal officials who have been afraid to take a firm stand on this matter," he says, "for I doubt they would have gotten any place in a fight with a great line of oil barons, but the situation has now gotten so bad that many of these oil barons are themselves frightened, and, I be- lieve, now is the time to strike." Asks For Conservation. In his statement, issued simul-' taneously with a meeting in Wash- ington tomorrow of governors of the oil producing states, he said he has been trying for more than 10 years to protect the nation's oil supplies from "needless waste and reckless exhaustion." " Perhaps," he said, "there is no waste in all of the other businesses combined that equals the waste of the oil business. What is called competition in the oil field is not more competition than is a run on the bank. Everyone After Oil. "In fact, a run on a bank is not as much cut-throat competition as in an oil field because all the depos- itors are trying to get their own money, and in an oil field the op- erators are trying to get not only their oWn oil but everybody else's oil. "We could not get stabilization in the oil business because the bigger and stronger companies did not want stabilization. They could count the profits they made from the constantly recurring periods of dis- tress when they would buy out first the little producer and then thel little refiner at their own price., LI iI State Bulletins (By Associated Press) January 14, 1931.
