portation rolling. To squander it thoughtlessly,

THERE are three basic reasons why a real and critical shortage of gasoline exists in Canada today:

(1) The insatiable demands of modern war.

(2) The inadequacy of existing supply for both mill- tary and civilian needs and the difficulty of dis- covering and developing new sources of supply —iu time.

(3) The grave shortage of oil transportation facilities.

Petroleum needs of the forces in this war are 80 time: greater than in the last war. l: is four or five times as difficult and costly to find new oil reserves today as it was in the pre-war period. And supplies have to be shipped vast distances, in ocean tankers compel ed to travel slowly in convoy and by circuitous routes.

Look at this map. It shows how the oil resources of this hemisphere must be poured out across dangerous seas, to battle areas 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 miles away. It shows how oil
