MOTOR FUEL
UNITED STATES EMBARGO. With reference to the cable message from America yesterday to the effect that Mr Daniels (Secretary for the United 'States Navy) had approved a bill for the imposition of an embargo on the export of oil, the New Zealand Board of Trade furnished a ‘Times” representative with the following extract from a report, “Fuel for Motor Transport, ’ ’ published by the British Department of Scientific and Industrial Research :—“The enormous and rapidly increasing consumption of liquid ’fuels is tending to exceed production, and it is therefore a matter of great. importance to supplement the fuels now employed by developing the use of new ones in every possible way. In 1919 the world’s production of crude petroleum was 17i thousand million, imperial gallons, and although the United States contributed 13 thousand million*, or about 74 per cent., its consumption exceeded this quantity.”
