British and American oil interests.
American oil men allcgc that Eng

States from the peace conference.
The English appear to have calculate
ed that in the near future oil rather
than coal will be the means OF pro-
nellinT ocr:ln-gring vessels and that
by con, rolling oil, as she has con-
trollcL coil, England will have the
ocean tonnage and the world trade in
her hands. The English government
itself has bought heavily in oil

tically controls them.
