GERMANY MAY TAKE

Washington, November 1o.-The plan of
the German government to take over the
oil business of that country, thus stopping
competition in oil from this and other
countries. is about to become a very live
issue between the governments of Ger
many and America. Already the founda-
tons for diplomatic contest have been
laid, and Mr. Ieishman, the American am
bassador, has put in a caveat to protect
the rights of the oil people.
The German government itself has very
broadly intimated that it might resent
any attempt on the part of the American
government to interfere in what it con-
siders the purely internal affairs of Ger
many.
