BRITAIN FIGHTS TO CONTROL OIL

Washington-The diplomatic duel
now being waged by the State De
partment on the one hand and Great
Britain on the other, over resources
, in mandate territory, is far more seri-
GUS than mere struggle for oil; it
is contest for the world, it was
stated here tonight.
If Great Britain is able to debar
the United States from the oil fields
of Mesopotamia, Persia and the Turk
ish Empire, she will within the next
few years not only hold undisputed
naval sway over the seas but her mer-
chant ships alone will be able to car
ry cargoes to the ports of the world.
The situation is not only clear to
Great Britain and the United States
but also to France which is following
the struggle with the most intense in
terest. Her attention is now riveted
to a remarkable book entitled "Pe..
troleum," by Prof. Francois de Laisi,
a French economic specialist, few
extracts from which were published
in copyrighted dispatch by the
Washington Star today.
Prof. de Laisi points out that until
a few years before the war the com
merce Of Great Britain predicated en-
tirely from coal of which she has an
abundant supply.
The United States on the contrary
was producing 70 per cent of the
worlds oil. New inventions adopting
fuel oil to steam at this time awakened
Great Britain to the startling fact,
says de Laissi, that American fuel
oil under the boilers of great ships
might end the British Empires"
1t was then that the few far-see-
ing British statesmen and fnancers
started out to corner the world sup
ply OF oil. They have acquired the re-
sources Of Ceylon, Egypt, North Chi
na Siam, the Malay States, Persia,
Nesopotamia and Turkey; have in
vaded Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia,
Costa Rica, Ecuador and even the
United States.
For many years the United States
has supplied 70 per cent of the worlds
oil. About seven billion barrels re-
main under American soil, sufficient
for only Is years at the present rate
Of consumption. All the oil in the
world is estimated at $4,000, 900 600
barrels, mostly controlled by Great
Britain and sufficient to last her pres
ent requirements for 250 years.
When America realized her plight
which was not until after the armis-
tice, de Laisi points out, the Standard
Oil Company hurried prospectors
to every point in the globe to find
themselves forstalled by the British.
Even number of Central American
companies supposed to be American
were discovered to be under British
control.
The entire oil world, de Laisi as
serts in his book, is actually barricad-
ed against America.

Could do no Good

Could do no Good
Garland, who has stated that he re-
nounced his claim to the million doll
lars because he thought Christ would
have done the same, continued:
Il believe I could do no good with
the money. 1t is the man who gives
food to the hungry who does good, not
the dollars given in exchange for the
good. I would be happy to be the man
if had the food to give, but l cannot
lend myself to handling the money
that is not mine even though the good
that might be done is possibly great
Many people have written to tell him
what could be done with the money,
he said They seem almost proud to
point out the power that l have in
my hands, but it is the most pitiful
thing they could point to- You can
not serve God and Mammon.' So many
people ready to serve the dollar means
SO many less to serve God. There are
great opportunities to do good but
they are in mems hearts not in my
checkbook. A preacher in the name
of Christ said that this million should
have been turned to good Gods work
will never be done until men see that
this theory is untrue"
Lives in Old Inn
Mr.. Garland's statement was made
from his home here, a former inn of
stage coach days.
The young man, who is % years of
age, is living at the house with his
wife and infant daughter as the guest
of his mother, Mrs. Marie Tudor
Green. who supplies them with maid
and keeps their larder full. He plans
to go to work eventually he said,
but year at Harvard College, which
he left to get married, and prepara-
tory schooling in his country and in
England fitted him for no work ready
at hand, and he said he thought it
would be spring before he found any
thing. His wife joined with him in
his remuneration of the million His
mother, although not holding the same
views, has told him to do what he
thought right
his share of his fathers estate lives
James A. Garland III, brother of
Charles Garland, who has accepted
his share if his fater's estate, made
larger by the fact that the mother of
the boys abandoned her rights in or
der to marry Francis c. Green after
the death of her first husband.
