Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Admiral Alan G. Kirk, USN (Ret.), was Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1949 to 1951, Ambassador to Belgium from 1946 to 1949. In World War 11 he commanded the American Naval Forces in the Normandy invasion.
FIVE-YEAR PLANS . . . OR COMPETITION?
by ADMIRAL ALAN G. KIRK
``Gasoline rationing . . . high prices . . . oil products of
poor quality . . . production goals met 18 years late . . .
these are the results when, the State takes charge and
replaces private competition.
"As U. S. Ambassador to the
Soviet Union, I saw a State-
controlled oil industry at work.
Five-year plan followed five-
year plan. Yet only recently-18
years late-did Russia reach
her 1937 production goal.
"Today potentially oil-rich
Russia produces only 8.67o of
the world's oil. What a contrast
to America . . . where nearly
half of the world's oil is produced
. . where today's gasoline
is 50% better than in 1925
. . . where gasoline (except for
higher taxes) costs little more
than 30 years ago.
"It seems that five-year plans
are no substitute for the incentive
of competition that sparks
our own oil industry. Each of
America's thousands of oil companies
tries to outdo its rivals
by constantly improving products
and services. The results?
We get more and better oil
products-at better prices than
any people in the world.
"How sharp the picture of
how much we owe to the American
freedom of competitive action
! How clear the lesson that
we must keep this freedom
strong and unfettered".
