    The author described on the situations of energy in Japan, especially those of electric power problem in detail.
    It is of our great concern that how long thermal power may depend upon coal.We cannot expect it much on coal, and what is worse, its thermal efficiency is low.The author emphasized future aspect on development of water power by means of damsys-tem.From this view-point the endless development is being made under five years' plan of electric power development.We are, however, obliged to face the undesirable pro-blems in water power development such as those on land, capacity of reservoir and compensation which excert great influence upon raising cost.
    On the other hand, future energy demand is making increase more and more, and it is expectable that Japan acts in concert with the current of the world in order to ensure necessary and sufficient energy.Thus, it is a natural consequence that we are concerned with the geotherm, the solar energy and the atomic power.
    The problem on atomic power has its social and technical difficulty, nevertheless we should be interested in it.The author concluded whatever energy should be utilized efficiently and rationally.

    Coal mining industry in Japan has faced a serious crisis owing to a sudden increase in coal storage, a financial crisis, troubles with labourers, etc.and strong governmental aids are hoped for coal mining industry which is under worse conditions in various points than the other industries.
    The troubles in coal mines in the Kyushu district, the method of overcoming depress-ions, effects of development of a vertical gallery on lowering coal costs have been explained and as future problems of coal mining industry, moreover, rationalization by development of a vertical gallery aiming at low coal costs, improvements of coal quali-ties and stable production, reduction of taxes, development of coking coals by way of prevention of import of coals and utilization of low grade coals have been pointed out and national aids have been strongly wanted for the solution of these problems.

    Judging from the general trends of petrochemical industry in U.S.A.and several pionering countries in Europe, the future of petrochemical industry in Japan can be expected as one of its hopeful industries basing on its special characteristics of development. Explanations proceded mainly on its domestic natural resources, pointing out their jen-line a vailab ilities that can be stood for the future development of petrochemical industry;and wassuggested the necessity of its earyest start for the introduction stage aiming at its general development of prosperities in future.

    In the previous report the air oxidation reaction of humic substances of lignite was discussed from the analytical data of the residual oxidized coal. In this, report, we determined the volatile substances, especially, carbon dioxide, carbon monox-ide, formaldehyde, and acetic acid, which were contained in the reaction gases. We found the formation velocities of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde were divided in the two steps and the formation of acetic acid had a considerable long induction period.We discussed the process of the formation of such volatile substances from the humic substances of lignite and determined the good reaction condition as the pre-treatment of the wet oxidation of the humic substances of.lignite.

    Several difficulties existed in the working of Fushun oil shale retorts are listed below.
    1.Distilling thmperature may be too high and oil vapor distilled out may be consider-ably cracked.The yiell of crude tar were 90% in the case of 50t retorts and 75% in the case of 180t ones.
    2.Formation of clinkers in the distilling chamber disturbed the normal running of the retorts.
    3.The gas prom distilling chamber carried out the oil dust which deposited in the.pipelines and amounted to ca.80t/d.
    4.Shortage of shale supply required the utilization of small grains of shale under one inch size which were not used so far in Fushun.
    The chemical reactions in the producer chamber, the composition of produce gas, thethmperature distribution through out the retort, the relations between distilling temper-ature and extent of cracking of distilled oil vapor, the reflut condensation of oil vapor and the formation of oil dust etc.were investigated, and the reasonable of these phen-omena were elucidated, As the results of these investigations the proper improvements of operating conditions for the Fushun retort were worked out and the oil yield of 180t retort increased to 90%, and the many difficulties listed above were all disappeared.Parts of the retorts were improved so as to suit for small grains of shale and were found to work well.
