GOVERNMENTAL
ACTION On O|L.

British Control Must Be
Met by Nation, Says
Phelan.

Washington, Aug. 3-BeHef that the
tnited States must 20 into the oil bus
mess or take steps to prevent other ma
tons from monopollzilig the worlds oil
supply. Is expressed by the department
of commerce in report to the senate
public lands committee, made public
Tuesday by Senator Phean of California.
1T appears that the British govern
ment is definitely going into the oil bust
ness" the departments report asserts.
During the war period it acquired two
thirds of the stock Of the Anglo Persian
Oil company.
This company has an exclusive conces-
sion for oil exploitation throughout ali of
Persia except the five northern provinces
and has valuable concessions in Mesopo-
tamia and other parts of the world.
1T would seem imperative that our
government must take the same course,
or at least find II way of preventing, 50
far as possible. the monopoly of future
sources of oil supplies by the nationals
of foreign countries.

barrassments of the country.
Some western towns already are
threatening boycott against Belfast
goods, it is said. and there is danger Of
this policy spreading INTO other trades,
including the banking system, which
hitherto has been one of the few bonds
between the north and south. Ulster es-
pecially fears this action, as much of the
capital which supports northern indus
tries comes from the south
The Irish Times points out that such a
boycott is quite practical as southern and
western Ireland are better organized now
than at any other time In their history.
1.-THE boycott says the newspaper,
would inflame political strife and would
beggar many departments Of industry:
1t would prove that the rest of Ireland
cannot dispense with Belfast any more

dependence. can dispense with the rest
