GASOLINE RESERVE CALLED UPON 10 MEET UJ. NEEDS Consumption Greater Than Production —Disastrous Fires Blamed. Time Wanhinoton Bureau. Sew York Avenue WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The facts are turning in favor of those prophets of gloom who predict that it won’t belong until the oil supplies of the United States are exhausted. In June for what Is certainly the first time in several years and that may be the first time in the history of the industry—the records aren't complete enough to tell —more petroleum was consumed in the United States than was produce^-' In April of this year consumption exeeded supplies of oil available for distribution, but that, according to officials of the petroleum division of the bureau of mines, was due to disastrous fires in California and not to a failure to get enough oil of the ground to meet the needs of the country. . During the month of June, however, the daily-average of consumption of petrdleum exceeded production in this country by 28,000 barrels. For the same month a year ago domestic production exceeded the amount used in this country by a dally average of 264,000 barrels. The deficiency of production during June was made up by drawing upon reserve stocks. There were heavy imports of crude petroleum from foreign countries, principally Mexico and Venezuela, but these were more than balanced by exports from this country, causing a reduction in reserve oil stocks of almost four million barrels during the month. In contrast to this situation oil stocks were increased by over five million barrels during June a year ago. Whether the current shift in the oil situation means that the United States is permanently forfeiting its place as a surplus oil producer, petroleum experts of the bureau of mines refuse to redict. The facts in the case, however, are being used by those who have been lamenting the wastage of United States oil resource to fortify the remark, “I told you so.”
