PARIS. May 24.-It is learned from
the French foreign Office that Am
bassador Wallace has presented note
from the State Department to the
French government on the world oil
crisis. Britain's alleged campaign to
capture the earth's oil markets has
stirred France as well as the United
States. and it is said that the nego-
tiations started by Mr.. Wallace may
result in combined FrancoAmeri-
can policy to protect their petrol in
terests throughout the world. A bill
similar to John D. Phelan's measure
in the United States Senate is nov
before a special committee of the
chamber of deputies.
RealiZatio of the fact that France
has no considerable supplies of oil
and that the supplies in the United
States are liza BILE to become exhausted
in twenty years has convinced the Of
ficials of both countries of the neceS-
sity of immediate action.
Neither France nor the United
States has recognized the Anglo Per-
sian treaty of 1919. which gives Brit
ain control over the rich Persian oil
fields" said a high French authority
He intimated that such recognition
would not be forthcoming unless the
British guaranteed more rights TO
French and American capital there
and ceased the campaign of discrim-
nation.
The crisis had become SO acute at
the time of the San Reno conference
that it was discussed privately be-
tween Premiers Lloyd George and
Millerand. France secured a promise
that England would cede her a certain
annual amount of oil from the Meso-
potamian wells about MosuL All this
wealthy oil district in Persia. Meso-
potamia and the Caucasus is either
occupied or threatened at present by
the bolsheviki to the detriment of
British interests. but if they ever
leave, as most people think they will,
Britain will gain control of all by
virtue of one treaty or another.
