*^RnnE^B«ll^5nrhere is no hope
it is said, for Japan at present to be
come self-supporting in the matter of
oil supplies and the naval authorities
have ordered seven tankers which are
to carry oil imported for the Japanese
navy.
While the demand for oil steadily '
increases the output in the country
tends to decrease. The present output i
of law oil is only about 320,000 tons a
voar. The heavy oil consumed by thej
* ^ i
navy amounts to about 100,000 tons a
year and assuming that 40 per cent of
heavy oil can be made out of a ton of
j
raw oil the naval demand can be more j
than sufficiently met by the home pro-1
duct But besides the hequirements of;
the navy there is a vast general de- j
round to be met. When the eight bat-1
tieships ami eight cruiser squadron !
program is completed in 1927, it is es- j
timated that the demand of the navy
vHt amount to at least 700,000 tons,
whereas then* seems no hope .of an
increase in the output of oil in thk
country.
• The authorities have for some time
been engaged in the investigation of
oil fields in Saghalien and in other
places bat no satisfaction results have
yet been obtained. The oil fields at
Koseuho and Nairyo in Formosa have
been worked somewhat but the field at
Nairyo is entirely disappointing: the
lesult of the working of the Kosenho
field will not be known for two or
three months but satisfactory results
fre not expected.
The oil tankers ordered will have a
displacement of 11,000 tons each and
will rarry 9,000 tons of oil.

COPENHAGEN, Danish papers
have been outspoken in their criticism
of alleged partiality in the judging of
the Olympic games at Antwerp. They
complain that awards were given on
the principle of “Let the best man win
if-he ia an ally.”
The National Tidende’s special cor
respondent at Antwerp charges that
all (fames were umpired with a bias
in favor of the allies. Typical in this
respect, the correspondent says, was
% sword combat between Denmark
and taly. All experts were agreed, ho
fdpte* that Denmark was superior;
nevertheless, the umpires gave the
victory to Italy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct., 14— Aus
tralian dried fruit exporters plan to
compete against California products in
the American market, according to
Beter J. Duffy, local importer and ex
porter, who just returned from Aus
tralia on a steamer bringing 1080 box
en of Sultana raisins for the New York
market from New Zealand. This is the
first shipment of Australian dried
traits to this country ,. Duffy, said.
California apples sell in Australia for
16.50 per box, while the Australians
cpn sell their apples in America for
lass than half that figure, he said. •*
