Teagle Asserts ?c? Europe Blocks Oil Production Standard President Tells American Institute For? eign Nations Keep Depos? its for Own Future Use U. S. Supply Decreasing Geological Official Says American Resources May Last Only Nine Years WASHINGTON, .\Tov. 17.?The world oil problem, particularly the situation confronting America because of condi? tions in Mexico, and Europe's search for additional sources of supply, was discussed in this city to-day at the opening of the annual meeting of the American Petroleum Institute. W. C. Teagle. president of the Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey, told the institute that "many foreign gov? ernments are deliberately placing ob? stacles in the way of those ..-ho would like to assist in the development of new sources of supply." He was fol? lowed by Director George CUis Smith of the United States Geological Sur? rey, who sounded a new warn;ng that American sources were rapidly ?cing exhausted. Richard Airey. vice-president of the Ttoxana Petroleum Corporation, a Brit? ish company, denied at the night ses? sion that Great Britain was attempt? ing to monopolize the world's oil sup? ply. The Mexican Situation The situation in Mexico was de? scribed by Frederic It. Kellogg, coun? sel for the Mexican Petroleum Corpo? ration, who said American oil men had gone into Mexico because "Mexico is? sued unmistakable invitations to all 2hc world to come and invest its money, its brains ard its labor in the oil in? dustry.*' This, he said, entitled Ameri? can producers to the protection of their government. Mr. Teazle said oil lands in the United States "have been thrown open to the world, with aliens as free to ac? quire production as our own citizens." He spoke of the recent Mesopotamian and Turkish agreements between Allied powers, and added: "If foreign governments insist on pursuing the policy of nationalizing oil lands and reserving sub-soil rights to be held under government direction; if they persist in attempting to k"ep all of their own petroleum deposits for their own future benefit, while relying on the United States for a large share of their present day needs, then this nation will have no other alternative but to take cogizance of the attitude of foreign governments and as a mat? ter of necessity and self-protection to consider the adoption of measures re iprocally to conserve its petroleum resources for its own people." Must Face Production Problem Essentially, Mr. Teagle said, the American industry had to face tin: prob 7rr. of producl Durin I ? present year, he estimated, the United States would consume 445,000 000 bar? rels of crude oil produced within the nation and import 120,000,000 barrels additional r m Mexic "These figures matter little, but the tendency is all important." Mr. Teagle, said. "It emphasizes the relatively smaller part our home production is going to play in the future." Mi Airey said it would be impos? sible for Great Britain to cornei the world's ?il supply. Motives that have been ascribed to Great Britain of i. ir.g to en ate a monopoly over t' ? potential oil lands of the world were untenable, he declared. Mr. Smith declared the known Amer? ican oi ?sources would last only nine years and three months if depend'.' upon to furnish all the power the coun? try c nsumc-s. Monthly statistics i production and consumption, he sa "t-iko on the importance of danger sic, nais which must be read 'run slow.'

Soviet Troops When Line j of Communication Fails Bandits Looting Country Young Woman Leads Band of 2,000 Insurgents in Harassing Bolsheviki WARSAW. Nov. 17 (By The Asso- i ciated Press).?The Ukrainians bave1 evacuated Kiev and other towns they I had occupied and are fleeing defeated I before the new Russian Soviet offen? sive. The Bolshevik cavalry has swept through the Ukrainian lines at various points. Three of General Petlura's divisions were surrounded by Soviet troops when the Ukrainian left wing broke because of bad communications. A strong Bolshevik offensive, accord? ing to the latest reports, is developing along the entire Volhynian front from the River Dnieper to Deraznia. The Ukrainians, who were temporarily suc? cessful, were unable to offer sustained effective resistance, however, because of lack of munitions and supplies. Ukrainian Advance Fails The Ukrainians started e general at? tack November 11, took Zhmerinka and had advanced nine miles when their Jack of communications caused the col ?'lapse of the lelt wing of their army, opening the way to the Rod cavalry. The Poiish army authorities are pre ; paring to disarm and intern any of 1 General Petlura's retreating troops ' seeking refuge in eastern Galicia, where the beaten Ukrainian forces arc ?' said to be approaching the Polish fron? tier. The Bolsheviki have taken Pros kurov and Kamenetz-Podolsk is report? ed to have been evacuated. Conditions in the Ukraine are re? ported generally desperate. There is much suffering, the population being poorly clothed snd decimated by hunger ami disease. Thousands are fleeing to Polapd, hoping to pip? aid, or at least, safety from the Bolsheviki and roam? ing insurgents.

Property Law In Mexico Bars Recognition Washington to Withhold Action Until Assurances Are Given as to Article 27 of the Constitution Must Not Be Retroactive Strong Pressure Brings Dictum That No Corpora? tion Can Dictate Course WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.?Recogni? tion of the new government in Mexico by the United States will be withheld, it was said to-day at the State Depart? ment, until Mexico has made clear the effect to be given to Article 27 of the Mexican constitution relating to prop? erty in Mexico. Strong pressure for speedy recogni? tion is being brought to bear on the department by some business and other interests, but a high officer announced emphatically to-day that no corpora? tion, no group of corporations and no group of indivduals was going to de? liver American recognition to Mexico. It was made clear that the United States was not demanding as a pre? liminary to recognition the repeal of Article 27, but it win said that if the operation of laws enacted under that section were made retroactive the American government could not accord recognition. The United States, officials explained, is actuated by a desire to protect American interests in the Southern republic, and in its study of the whole situation has invited and received from American corporations and individuals having interests in Mexico, statements as to conditions there and the present application of Mexican laws. Early recognition of Mexico was forecast in a statement issued at the department some weeks ago, but ap parently it is not much nearer now that; it was then. Whether recognition will come before the present adminis? tration at Mexico City turns over the government to President-elect Obregon on December 1 apparently still was undetermined. Widespread Agitation For Strikes in Mexico Vrrn Cruz Stevedores Threaten New Walkout; Yucatan and Orizaba Hotbeds of Unrest MEXICO CITY, Nov. 17 (By The As? sociated Press).?-Although Mexico's labor situation has cleared considerably during the last week, disquieting re? ports of discontent have been received here, especially from Vera Cruz and Yucatan, which, however, in no way warrant the belief that a general na? tion-wide strike is imminent or even contemplated. The strike of stevedores at Vera Cruz was settled last week, but re? ports from that city assert the agree? ment, is unsatisfactory to the work men, and another walk-out is possible. The situation in that port is serious, scores of ships being tied up in the harbor.unable to unload their cargoes. It is estimated that more than 40,000 tons of merchandise are being held up because of the lack of dock facilities. : The Vera Cruz strike has been made She basis for several sympathetic walk-outs, especially in Yucatan. There li general state-wide strike was called for last week, but was postponed when the Vera Cruz workmen reached the agreement. Reports from Yucatan, however, indicate considerable labor unrest, which is aggravated by a bit'er political struggle between the Social? ists and Liberals. , The railroad mechanics at Orizaba, State of Vera Cruz, have attempted to organize a strike which would paralyze communications between Mexico City Und Vera Cruz, but have met with little success. The strike of Coahuila coal miners. which has been in progress several weeks, ?s still unsettled, although gov? ernment officials are meeting daily with the miners' representatives in an endeavor to' effect an agreement. The walk-cut there has been extremely or? derly, being accompanied by only minor demonstrations. Wholly, independent of the strike situation, but contributing to the gen eral un,re,st. is. the enforced closing down of seventy-two silver mines in the states of Chihuahua, Durango and Aguascalientes, due to the low market price of that metal. Official assurance has been given ?that the efforts of radicals are being watched closely and all necessary measures will be taken to suppress any insidious activity. ! Provisional President de la Huerta returned to his labors to-day much improved in health. -m Czechs Tear Down Shaft Raised to Franz Josef Racial Conflicts Multiply in German Bohemia in Spite of Government Order By William C. Dreher Special' Cable to'The Tribune Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Ine. BERLIN, Nov. 17.?Racial conflict are growing more frequent in German Bohemia, as indicated by reports of disorders from various sections.
