THE CHINA MAIL
The recent announcement that the Admiralty is inviting tenders for the supply of oil extracted from British coal gives interest to the following report from Cardiff-in-mail-week
Ambitious schemes for the conversion of British coal into all and the expenditure of mil lions of pounds in research work were considered by the South Wales Miners' Federation.
Mr. George Hall, M.P., the Civil Lord of the Admiralty, and the members of Parliament for the mining constituencies, were present at the meeting which had | | been called to consider what.sup- port should be given to the movement which seeks to forcè the Government to substitute coal for oil, as Navy fuel.
A conference of all mining and shipping interests called by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff is to be held at Cardiff to discuss this question.
The miners, did not favour the policy of reverting to coal fuel, but rather the pressing necessity for further expenditure in the direction of extracting oil from British coal so that we should not be entirely dependent on foreign supplies.
Mr. Hall told the meeting that the Navy uses about one million tons of fuel oil every year, and in order to secure
that quantity twenty million tons of coal would have to be distilled.
Hé believed this could be sup- plied to the Navy at a little more than the price of the crude oil which is now used.
It would be far more advan-

try, he said, if British coal were used for the production of oil than to ask the Government to alter their programme and con- struct coal-burning ships.
"Oil from British coal is now proved to be a practical commer- cial proportion," he added, “and its extraction would prove most beneficial to the coal industry..
"The miners' representatives at the Cardiff conference will åd- vance this view rather than ad- vocate the reversion to coal-burn- ing ships."
Mr. Thomas Richards, the pre- sident of the. Miners' Federation of Great Britain, said after- wards that if the oil-burning naval ships were converted to the use of coal the amount of
