ING VIGOROUS PROTESTS
FROM OFFICIAL PRESS.
WANT CABINET ACTION
American Oil Trust is Ready For Hot
Fight With Roumanian Gov
eminent But VIII Have
Hard Time.

4 Bucharest, Sept 1.-The official
press has begun to speak about the
triumph of the Standard Oil over Ger
man oil interests IN Roumania. The
National viii insists that the present
administration shall see to it that the
/ STANDARD Oil does not have its own
way in everything. II says that the
cabinet will introduce measures to
keep the American oil trust from
from raising the prices OF oil In Rou-
mania. Here are some of the things
said in an editorial of the leading
official paper
viii Fight Standard.
LAS for us Roumanians, whether
the Germans like to pay more for
their OIL or not. we are going 20 see
10 it that the oil shall not be dearer
than it was before Nor will We suf-
fer the products of oil to be sold
higher tiIan they have been selling
before the tfast asquired our oil lands
The oil lands near Custenjie which
are still in the hands OF the govern
ment, the railroads, the OH tanks be-
longing TO the government these are
the weapons with which we can fight
the Standard OH trust
The day after this official editorial
appeared. oil prices Went mp. At pres
ent, according to "Adevarul, + the
leading independent daily paper R0u
manians get the poorest oil for the
highest prices
Rebates Hard to Get
VI 1he Standard oil company is ready
r3r the tight with the Roumanian gov
ernmcnt. One OF its weapons it has al
really shown. AZ Hamburg stocks
and bonds OF Roumanian oil are not
being quoted at all OF course the
STANDARD oil win have hard fight
Rebates and other privileges given
them by railroads in America are
hard to get in Roumania. The rail
roads are owned by the government
and controlled by the Minister Of
Public Works
The present Minister of Public
Works is V. G. Mortzun, who was
tot many years a Socialist leader. He
stin insists that Socialism is his ideal
and few days ago said publicly that
he is proud Of having been the leader
Of Roumanian Socialists. Minister
Mortzun is known for his honesty mi
pubiic as well as private affairs and itI
is said that he is determined TO use
his power In behalf of the Roumanian
I'll consumers and against the Stand
ard Oil
Hard On the Poor.
The raising OF oil prices in Rou'
llania means a great deal Petroleum
and coal oil are almost the only
means of illumination even in the
city of Bucharest where some resi-
licences are beginning to use gas.
Higher prices for oil means hard
ships for the poor people, who must
use it and who can ill-aiford 10 pay
more than they are paying now. 1t
would, therefore. not be surprising if
at the next elections cheaper coal
