In I lie Bnuncial world was the
promotion of three young men to
partnerships in the banking firm of
Morgan A Co., of New York.
I he ages of the young men were

gree and served several years in the
hanking husinesa hefors hi* renutrk-
nlde promotion. Such nn announce,
merit, startling at first, causes one to
wonder what special gift* these
young men possessed that earned for
them smh a conspicuous advance,

motion and were thoroughly capable
of i.niicrtnklng the duties of their re-

for no creditable banking firm retains

President
Hoover made the Important an-
nouncement that It would tie the |sil-
ley of the administration to do every-
thing possible to conserve the fie-
troleum resource* of the nation. His
formal statement reada as follows;
‘'There will be no leases or disposal
of government oil Innd*. no matter
what category they may lie In. of gov-
ernment holding* or government con-
trols. except those which muv he man
dstory hy congress. In other words,
there will tie complete conservation of
government oil In tills admlne-tra

The first step toward making Oils

an order by Secretary of the Interior
Wilbur to all government land offices
directing them “not to receive further
applications for fxrmlt* to pros|>crt
for oil and gna on the public domain,
and to reject all applications now
pending.”
Far-reaching effects of this new
policy are predlcted|;l
