the writer believes the possible
maximum production of these
fields is at rate 8,000,000 barrels
a year. "Scattered reports from
Germany, however, indicate that
the current producting of Galicia
actually is much less than the
possible maximum indicated abo-
ve. The January output, accord-
ing to information which isbeliev
ed to be reliable, was about 400,
000 barrels. At this rate, the
annual production would be less
then 5,000,000 barrels. This is
particularly signiflcent when it is
realized that the Goverment offer-
ed special inducements for the
opening up of new drilling areas,
and that at Government direction
the production of known oil areas,
was stimulated in every possible
