United States Presents Memo
randum to the German
Foreign Minister.
ALLEGES INJUSTICE TO
AMERICAN INVESTORS
Reference Made to Standard Oil
Company's Interests Imperiled
by Pending Legislation.

BERLIN. March 2s.-Formal action was
begun today by the United States gov
eminent against the petroleum monopoly
Dill. recently introduced in the German
imperial parliament. The first step taken
was written memorandum presented by
James w. Gerard. United States ambas-
sador. to Gottleb Won Jagow the German
foreign minister. This memorandum ex-
pressed the confident expectation of the
United States government that certain in
justices toward American investors con-
tanned in the monopoly bill in its present
form will disappear before enactment.
The United States. it points out, has no
wish either to intervene against Ger
many's establishment of an oil monopoly
nor to interfere with any price arrange
rnent between the Standard Oil Company
and the German government should such
be under consideration. 1t expects, how
ever. that American citizens who have in
vested capital in German enterprises.
for instance, the Standard Oil Company
German subsidiary concern-wll be fully
and fairly compensated for all invest
ments Cancelled by the measure.
Receives No Reply.
The German foreign minister did not re-
ply today to the American memorandum
and he may be relieved from doing SO by
the death of the bill
The parliamentary correspondent of the
Neue Gesellschaftliche Korrespondenz
voices the opinion widely held among
members of the imperial parliament and
In financial circles that the monopoly
Dill in its present form is dead or has at
least been shelved for a long time He
adds: The socialist members made 1t a
condition of their assent that they should
receive political concessions in regard to
the organization of employees The cleri-
cal party is strongly opposed to the bill,
and so are the anti-monopolistic elements
among the radicals and liberals"
Debate of Bill Postponed.
The committee in charge of the bill was
to have resumed its discussions this
week. but postponed the debate until
April IS and further postponement is
expected.
Fresh diplomatic action concerning the
petroleum question is expected in the
case of the Pure Oil Company of Ham
burg. which was refused permission to
compete for government contracts There
is also the case of the discriminatory
railroad rates granted in favor of Ger
man-controlled oil imported from Gaiicia
