The reference to the development of the Home production" will puzzle many British readers, for the production of oil at Home is an industry known probably to but low. Practically the only oil produced in Great Britain is that obtained in the Scottish shale industry, and amounts in the aggregate to 78 million PRICE 40 CENTS PER LARGE TIN, gallons yearly, of which, however, only 40

per cent.

or 31,200,000 gallons, could be made available for fuel. This will not go far to meet the growing demand for oil fuel in Great Britain, and at present therefore the Navy is dependent upon the “existing combinations" for its supply from foreign countries. It remains to be seen how the Admiralty is to fulfil the FIRST Lonn's aspiration that it shall become *the owner or the controller -- at the source of at least & proportion of the labour, and the boy was discharged, supply of the natural oil which is required for the Navy." The Causdian Government has recently taken messures to conserve the oil deposits of Causds for imperial needs; a Royal Commission has recently drawn atten-
