A geological adviser, Dr. Woolnough, who is visiting the United States, has forwarded a report to the Prime Minister, Mr. J. H. Scullin, saying: “Without exception, the geologists with whom I have discussed the question are more favourably impressed with the ultimate prospects of oil discovery in Australia than I ever dared to be.
“All that is necessary is patience and money. I described the conditions in Australia, and that is their answer.
“The dimensions of oil leases, they add, must be at least 640 acres.”
