ITALY AND MINERAL OIL SUPPLIES.
INTERESTING DATA REVEALED BY BUDGET.
WORK OF GENERAL ITALIAN PETROLEUM CONSORTIUM,
SEEKING LIBERTY FROM WORLD TRUSTS.
[United Press.]
Rotne.The recent discussion, of the budget to the Ministry of Na tional Economy brought up some interesting data as to what has been done and is being done in Italy in the matter of mineral oil. One of the problems which faced the Fascist government when it came to power was to secure a sup- ply of oil fuel for the country that should not be entirely depen- deut on the big international truste

the big oil importers serving the Italian market were obliged to do do the same. Calculating for 1020 an oil consumption equal to that of 1928, the advantage for the Italian consumer reaches shout 159 million lire per year..
Similarly for. the agricultural consumer of oil fuel, the govern- ment consortium, by means of agreements with the Confedera- tion of Agriculturists, has effected benefits to the home market. The governments which preceded Petrol, from 130 lire the quintal, Fascismi had seen the importance of

The “A:G.1.P.”
In 1926, the government decided on the creation of the semi-Statal organization er Consertiums known as the "Azienda General Italiana Petrali" (General Italian Petro, leum Consortium). The objects of this body were to seek and utilize in Italy and abroad oil-fields, and to develop and commercialize them. liberate Italy at least up to a cer The consortium's project was to tain point, from the monopoly of the great world trusts, with their power to regulate prices and dominate the international market.

The borings which are most pro- mising are those in the provinces of Ragusa and Pescara, and work is proceeding with alacrity on these sites. Other figures given by deputy Giarratans, who is an ex- pert, show that borings have been made at Abbateggio to a depth of 810 meters, at "Podeazano to # depth of 1039 metres, at Rivona to a depth of 587 meters and at Gangi to a depth of 408 metres. Borings have also been made with promising results at Miano, Rio Bargello and Montepelato.
