THE FIGHT OVER OIL.

How important the question of oil
is in connection with affairs IN Mexico
and in Central America is slowly COM
ing TO light The indications are that
it will become question Of iuterna
tional dignity. AZ FIRST it seemed to be
merely contest between private com
pauies the Standard Oil Of America
and the Pearsons Of England, but now
that the great nayies Of the world are
building ships that call for hundreds of
tons of oil each day, the problem Of an
oil supply for the chief naval nations
is destined to grow acute.
The recent announcement that the
Pearsons had retired from the Colombia
fields came in the nature of surprise.
This English syndicate had asked the
Colombian government to grant the
company the right 10 exploit pc
troleum and carry on all works
necessary for producing it in an
area Of 10000 square llilometers,
Gin any part OF the national
property Inaspuch as the Pearsons
have contract 10 supply the English
navy with oil, IL would appear that
England is bound by her most vital
self-interest, that Of maintaining her
naval supremacy, to support the
Pearsons in their Oil operations Lord
Cowdray announced to the world that
the Pearsous have withdrawn from the
Colombia field owing TO the proclaimed
hostility of the United States Govern
ment to the granting of conces-
sions by Latin-American countries to
foreign interests, and will not insist on
securing from Colombia the gigantic oil
concession which would amount practi.
cally TO monopoly of the oil fields Of
that nation. 1t is not unlikely that tho
Pearsons took this action as the result
OF intimatious from the British gov
ernment, which is desirous of working
IN harmony with the United States Gov
ernment in Mexico and in Central and
South America. Nevertheless, the time
is approaching when the demand for oil
is apt to place Germany and France, If
not England, in opposition to an Amer.
lean policy which will debar the
European countries from obtaining in
the western hemisphere an adequate oil
supply for their warships.
Secretary Daniels, in his recent re.
port, took occasion to suggest that the
United States Government should secure
it's own oil fields in order to supply the
navy with fuel. Fortunately the Gov
ernment, at least for the present, does
| not need TO go beyond the confines of
| the United States for oil. A plentiful
supply can be developed on govern.
ment property in California, and tho
Louisiana and Texas oil fields promise
an almost unlimited supply for many
years to come. Experts declare that the
oil belt found in Louisiana and Texas
| extends down the cast coast through
Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama into
Colombia. The abundance Of oil In

TARIFF PRUNING
AFFECTS IMPORTS
Richmond Custom-House Feels
Strain of Uncertainty to
Small Extent.

While congressional tariff Juggling
has caused a perceptible falling off in
the volume OF imports all over the
country. the port of Richmond has
maintained it's customs collections in a
gratifying way. The possibility of n
lower tariff has made many local i'm
porters cut down on shipments dur
Ing the summer and corresponding
Increase of importations may be ex-
pected when the Underwood Simmons
Dill becomes law. In spite of this
ract the collections at the Richmond
custom house are within n few thou
sand dollars Of what they were in
September 1912. During tho first
twenty-five days OF September the col
lections aggregated $4,000. as against
$4,000 for the entire month Of Sep
TENDER, 1912.
Tariff reduction is not expected to
make an appreciable difference in the
collections at this port, as tobacco
and burlap duties passed the pruning
knife almost untouched. Seed, now ON
the free list: tobacco, burlap and spirits
are the chief articles imported at Rich
mondr and tho customs revenue from
these articles will be practically the
same under tho new tariff as under
