standard Oil Is Feeling Effects Of
American Hostility.

New york. Aug 29@The Standard
Oil company receives many complaints
from their foreign staff and cores
pondents in regard to the hostile at
titude of the American press towards
that company, and the depressing eff
fects Of the same upon its foreign
trade The foreign consumer prefers
American oil but the agents of rival
companies constantly exploit the nome
attacks upon the Standard and the
consumers conception of the matter IS
that il is the quality of the American
oil that is attacked. The press has
received large encOura cement from
the debates in congress on subjects OF
interest to Americans only and regret
tably it has not differentiated with sur
fcient clearness between the manutac-
turing and marketing companies and
the transportation companies MI
G. F. D. Asche, OF the Export depart
ment who possesses full and exact IN
formation in regard TO the foreign OH
situation sounds a warning note IN a
renort to the board Of directors to the
effect that wanton and unjustifiable
attacks produce effects that can not
be foreseen and accomplish vast mis-
chief before they can be corrected. Mr.
Aches report follows:
Every producer Of petroleum IN the
United states and all individuals or
COMPANIES having direct or indireNt in
terests in maintaining the supremacy
of American petroleum in the compet-
tive markets of the world cannot fall
to view with deep concern and alarm the
damage and menace to our foreign com
merce tracea bic to the persistent at
lacks upon the Standard oil company
by an influential section of the Ameri-
can press
I'VE deem it our duty especially to
call your attention to the embarrass-
~ crfar
agents and statesmen employed in the
marketing of American petroleum and
its products in foreign countries
I'VE cannot believe 1t is the intention
or the desire of the American press TO
ieopardize the export commerce of all
American petroleum, or that its attacks
uuon the STANDARD Oil company have
any such motive yet. unfortunately
these attacks are rapidly leading up to
this result.
sConfrmative OF this. we just have
word from one of cur managers abroad
who had made application to a foreign
government for permission to erect
storage pIant to receive bulk American
petroleum, and was refused AT tne
time when the question came up for de-
cision the presidents message 70 con-
gress rag9 riding the Standard company
had lust reached them, and this was
given by the authorities as a reason for
their refusal of the application.
oThe foreign press and the foreign
consumer know little and care less
about the transportation controversy
raging on this side of the Atlantic but
thew have not been slow to construct
and distort these press attacks as dis
cra7ifinp the quality and value of the
nroduct and also as assaillng the dis

us there no way of presenting this
situation to the impartial elements Of

even if their attacks upon the Standard

may be formulated on line not calcu-
lated to give aid and comfort to every
foreign enemy and competitor Of the

THE largely increasing stocks of Pc
