COAL AND OIL WILL BE EXHAUSTED
GERMAN CHEMIST’S VIEW By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Australian and N.Z, Cable Association. (Received November 30. 8.15 p.m.) BERLIN, November 30. Professor Binz, in addressing the Association of German Chemists, emphasised the fact that the world’s resources of oil and coal are slowly nearing exhaustion. Unless the white races were to succumb to the coloured races, he said, the whites must solve the problem of tapping the heat of the tropics in order to provide light, heat and power. Recent inventions, such as synthetic nitrogen, liquid coal, and helium from oxygen, seemed to warrant optimism regarding the further domination of the whites. But it would be better if the nations, instead of fighting each other, were to unite in the struggle to bring tropical warmth from the Valley of the Nile to Europe.
