Hohenzol lerns, Ilapsburgs, and others in be ing sounds us pathetic as it is fan tastic. Apparently the Grand Duke Cyril, of Russia, is the prime mover in the organization. And he evi dently is convinced that now, if ever, is the time for all ousted monarchs to try to regain their throne anu re establish themselves in the hearts of their countrymen. One wonders on just what grounds the grand duke believes there is any chance whatever for a return of the exiled kings of their thrones. Cer tainly there is no sign in Russia that the Romanoff dynasty is ripe for revival. Nor is there the slight est evidence in Germany that the Germans want the Hohenzollerns back. And no one but a dreamer would believe seriously that the Hapsburgs have any chance of re turning to Vienna. It merely shows how difficult it is for royal exiks to abandon the no tion and the hope that the good old days are not gone forever. And it also suggests their inability to grasp the profound psychological changes that have taken place since the World War. A "Koly League" of crownless monarchs may sound very impressive to its members, but to .the rest of the world it will merely sound futile and foolish. -:o:- ME. HYDE AND THE FAEMEES Like all Missourians, whose loy alty to their State is happily not questioned anywhere, we want to see Mr. Hyde,' the new Secretary of Agri- i culture, get acquainted with his clientele. It is a numerous and some what expectant clientele, one that an automobile agent from Trenton. Mo., might have hesitated to take on. We think Mr. Hyde introduced himself effectively over the radio one right last week. lie was the chief speaker upon the American Farm Bureau program. "I want to work with you." he said. That must have struck a sympa thetic chord among farmers every where. There have been plenty of people who wanted to work them we are afraid they are worked pretty regularly every four years; but not p7 1 Mx-Jmany people work with them, it looks promising, we think Premising: for Sir Arthur, and prom ising for farmers. PE0ELEMS AWAIT HOOVEPw Among the important problems awaiting the attention of President Hoover is the matter of oil conser jvation a problem that is as weighty 'as any, although the general public has given it little tllCUgllt. TIie Federal Oil Conservation Board, appointed by President Cool- idge .submitted its report on the present situation recently. It re marked that the oil industry had eliminated much waste and had done much to save our oil; but it em phasized the fact that the country is still exhausting its oil reserves at a dangerous rate. We consume 72 per cent cf all the oil used in the : world, and we produce Co per cent ; cf world production; yet our total j oil resources are only 18 per cent of j the world resources. ! Eventually this might easily lead "to a serious situation. The matter 'demands, and undoubtedly will get, the earnest consideration of our new engineer-President. . u . I In a straw vote conducted by the I American Nature Association to I choose a national flower, the violet ;,is running last. The violet stands 1 for modesty. The United States has within its borders and under its control some 18 per cent of the world's known oil resources. It is producing, often at loss, approximately 72 per cent of the world's total output of petroleum and its derivatives. That is, the United States is exhausting its oil supplies, while other countries are conserving theirs. This has become one of the major subjects of modern diplomacy. It ad mittedly has in it the germs of war. For instance, Mr. Ludwell Denny, formerly connected with our State Department, has written a book about it. Some of the reviewers thought its title, "We Fight for Oil," would Just as well have been "America Fights Britain." Mr. Denny believes that oil will in time bring the two great English-speaking powers into bitter conflict for supremacy. It is, he says, a rivalry in which the greater ex perience of Britain in empire has al ready bested us. Our own govern ment plays oil politics, but in Mr. Denny's opinion it does not do it very well. He thinks that when we wake to discover ourselves compelled to buy oil from Britain at her price, as Mr. Hoover feared some time ago( that we would have to buy rubber, the Kellog treaties will not amount to much. Nor does the World War, w hich had economic rather than poli tical causes, suggest that they will. Mr . Hoover was for two years chairman of the Oil Conservation Board appointed by Mr. Coolidge to study the question. He resigned only when he left the Cabinet. That board went into the world oil situ ation thoroughly. It is still in the field, its new chairman being Secre tary Wilbur. Mr. Wilbur is a close friend of Mr. Hoover. It is therefore significant that When Mr. Hoover en tered the White House one of his fiist official acts was to announce that except when such leases are made mandatory by Congress no more oil Gelds belonging to the Government will bi? leased. Moreover, Mr. Wil bur announces that the board will inquire at once into the status of the 20.000 outstanding permits to take oil out of Government fields. It will not surprise people who are familiar with the subject if the President very soon moves for Fed eral legislation to control the out put in private fields. Europe is a heavy buyer of oil in the United States. Conserving her own resources, she is helping us exhaust ours. j Not many of us know that there has been a great fight between Brit ain and the United States for the oil fields cf Mesopotamia. Russia, Per sia, enezueia, coiumDia, bpain, Ar gentina and Mexico. Mr. Hoover knows it. Mr. Denny says in his bock that the competition in Venezuela, now the second oil producing coun try, has been truly sensational. He thinks we do not know about It be cause we are not internationally minded. This is precisely the quality which is considered by many people in this and other countries to be Mr. Hoover's chief qualification for the presidency. The American Bar Association thinks we must move through Con gress to limit the oil output cf the United States. Unless we do so, it fears, we will find ourselves outwit ted bv the other Powers in one of the most important of international spheres. The country will probably j IIooTer feel, particularly since Mr from development, that we at least have in the White House a man who understands the situation perhaps' better than any other American St. Louis Post- Dispatch. :o: One evidence of the era of good feeling now at Washington was the i - .1 . : . i. . .
