SEARCH FOR OIL
ADVISERS STATEMENT, (Australian Press Association.) (Received 11.40 a.m.) CANBERRA, May 7. In a statement dealing with the search for oil in Australia, the geological adviser to the Commonwealth, Doctor Woolnmigh, says there are good reasons lor the lailure of Australian oil research, of which American interference if it exists at all, is of miscroscopic importance. Me in Australia are so self-satisfied that we are adverse to learning from anybody. We are so nationally vain that we tend to -sit round talking of vast potentialities, instead of learning about other countries and what they have to teach us. As soon as we are willing to adopt American methods, so soon will oil be discovered in Australia.
