A
he Fuel Oil Situation
\ There has been much concern l itely
over the fuel oil situation. In some sec-
' tlons of the country supplies are very
short and in some cities people who are
dependent on it for heating and cooking
have been rather sorely inconvenienced.
We note where one writer, who seems
to be pretty conversant with the situation,
expresses the belief that the shortage.H will
not be long-lived. He blame.s them on a
combination, of factor.s including transpor
tation difficulties and extremely high de
mand.
The extent of the demand for. oil was
one of the surprises of the po.stwar ere. It
was almost universally believed that the
cessation of v^ar demands would residt in
a substantial drop in total consumption.
Exactly the opposite has oecurtod, Civih'an
demand for oil products of almost all k’-i.- ,
has made it necessary to produce l)ev''n;l j
the peak war figure. And even 5Treritt‘r con
sumption Ls forecast for the future. i
Many people have- wandered v iiv ^I.e!
great refining capacity l/uilt for war
pose? is i?ot doing more to mevi pe '/ tI
time needs. The rca.^on. as given hv a]
spokesman for the indii'^try. that many
ofdhe plants were of a.special purp'VS'> na
ture, designed to produce aviation and eth
er fuels for which t e demand has
dropLf)ed. As a consequence, the industry
has been forced to build new plant- and
other facilities in the face of the material
«
shortages which have plagued the country.
Many people switched from coal to fuel
oil because they had grown weary of the
ever threatening coal famine as a r^.suH
of strikes called by John L. I^ewis. It has
been somewhat disillusioning to then to
find now that they are faced with a short-
age of fuel oil. Some of them have already
discarded their oil stoves and gone back
to coal.
The situation reminds us of the story of
the two men who were walking in a.pas
ture pne day when suddenly they saw £
ferocious bull running tow'ards them. On<
of them climbed up a tree but the other
unable to make the tree, jumped into a bij
hole in the ground that happened to b
nearby just as the bull charged over it, A
soon as the bull charged over the plac
the man in the hole emerged^ The bu
turned around and charged again, the ma
again jumping into the hole, only i
emerge again after the bull charged b
This performance kept up for several mi
utes until the man in the tree hollered
the man as he emerged out of the groui
one time, “w^hy don’t you stay in the he
you a fool until the bull goes away
To which the o^er fellow replied, “You’
a d f ool yourself, there’s a rattlesna
in that hole.’’

France Sees The Light
A year ago France seemed on the ve

thought by many to be looking towards
Russian form of government for happir
But what they saw, or rather what ^
'didn’t see, evidently convinced them

the tide turned heavily against the Red
When the people of France begai
look towards Russia they found they c
not see anythin because Russia is hi'
behind an iro^burtaln. The. conclu
naturally are "wiat Russians have not
good to show and a great deal of ei
hide. Else why should there be an
curtain between an attentive world c

covers thirty years. If the greater gooi
been accomplished why hide it? A
which had aiit off a new system of b
welfare would not be one of censo
secret police, concentration camps, ji

And so France probably reckoi^
