Natural resources book
has section by Bengtson
No immediate concern over the
world's coal supply is necessary,
according to Dr. N. A. Bengtson,
chairman of the geography de
partment, because there is an es
timated 7 trillion, 389 billion met
ric tons of coal available today,
most of which is in the United
States.
Dr. Bengtson, who has written
the mineral fuel section of a new
book entitled "Our Natural Re
sources and Their Conservation."
points out that altho some experts
believe the present coal supply will
last only several hundred years,
others estimate that it will prove
adequate for several thousand.
North America leads.
North America, he points out, is
credited with nearly five-sevenths
of the coal reserves of the world.
Asia ranks second with about 17
percent of the total. The north
em great plains and the Rocky
mountain provinces are believed
to hold 60 percent of the total coal
supply of the United States,
whereas the eastern province con
tains about 13 percent and the in
terior sections about 12 percent of
the total.
The university geographer and
other experts estimate that while
depletion of the original tonnage
of coal in the county is less than
1 percent, it is probable that the
anthracite fields of Pennsylvania
are now 29 percent exhausted. The
United States is fortunate, Dr.
Bengtson explains, not only in the
quantity and quality of its coal
reserves, but in their distribution.
Every section of the country is
within easy reach of some coal

"The 100,000,000 ton yearly out
put was first reached in this coun
try in 1882, and the 200,000,000
ton figure in 1897, Dr. Bengtson
says. "The all time record of an
nual production was made in 1918
with a total of 678,212,000 tons, a
figure not greatly in excess of the
production reached in 1920, 1923
and 1926. During the decade fol
lowing 1926 the production curve
has been lower."

Mr. Roosevelt seems to have lost his perspective. His recent anlic3

room for a question as to his political infallibility.
Senator Thomas, usually a staunch Roosevelt supporter, has joined
critics of his recent policies and appointments with the statement, "It
would be dangerous, both to the constitutional and extra-constitutional
position of the presidency, for the
of the senators. This I know has been done; great offense has been
given... A senator has as much right as the President to expect
respect for his position. . .The question decided by the Senate (Roberts
appointment) was not decided on

Mr. Roosevelt's policies, his
retaliation, are most ill-advised.
