PETROLEUM SUPPLY
• MUST NOT BE ANOTHER WAR (■Rec. 10.25) CHICAGO, Nov. 12. Another war involving the United States Avould put such a staggering demand on petroleum supplies that one immediate reaction was that there simply must not be another war, the chairman of the Military Petroleum Supply Advisory Committee, Mr Bruce K. Brown, said to-day. Mr Brown said that the full use of -jetpowered aircraft alone would reauire twice as much petroleum daily as was drawn from the western hemisphere daily by the entire United States forces in the last war. There was nothing to indicate that petroleum fuels would not have to power future wars. Instead of having an exportable ' surplus of petroleum and a potential production of 1,000,000 barrels a day, the United States was now an importer of petroleum.
