OIL MONOPOLY NOT
SOUGHT BY BRITAIN
Ambassador Geddes Denies
Stories to the Contrary
Characterizes Them as Anti
British Propaganda

New York, May 25.-Sweeplng ienial
that Great Britain was seeking TO
monopolize the worlds fuel oil supply
was made here tonight by Sir Auck-
land Geddes, British ambassa dor, speak
ing at the Pilgrims dinner. Statements
that Great Britain had such Intentions,
he added, were as completely without
basis in fact as charges that Britain
to-day was moved by militarist i'm
pulses.
Il say without fear of informed
criticism" Sir Auckland declared. that
British foreign policy is directed
against no man but is inspired by the
desire to seek peace to bring order out
of chaos to extend the boundaries of
freedom to improve the lot of the OPP
presses and to increase the material
prosperity of the world. That is our
program; those are the principles by
which l, as British representative in
this land, am guided from day to day"
The ambassador touched also upon re-
ports that the British government was
trying to pool the war debts OF Europe,
and to drag you, the United States into
the pool"
You may seek far and wide for evidence
on which that statement could be based"
he said. you will not find 1t. If you look
closely you will find my government try
ing to pour oil on the troubled waters of
Europe and you will also find onookers
who seize the oil as 1t Is poured and throw
it on the fires of anti-British feeling
here"
In answering what he characterized as
wild duck publications as to British
purposes the ambassador dealt first with
the British navy, saying that while more
than thousand ships including four bat
| tie cruisers were under construction when
the armstice was signed, one cruiser, the
Hood, too far advanced to permit concel-
lation. was the only major ship completed.
| 1T is no business of mine to compare
these facts with the corresponding ac-
ton Of any other nations, but I ask you
who know yourselves to be non -militar-
| list, to contrast them with your own ma
tional acts II you are tempted to think
England militarist"
The ambas sador after referring to re-
ports 'in some newspaper or magazine
that Britain has acquired an oil monop-
oily and proposes to hold the world to
| ransom. said seventy per cent of the
| worlds oil output was from American
| soil. and sixteen per cent from Mexico
American capital controlling three fourths
of the Mexican yield. In addition. he
! declared, Americans were seeking oil in
at least ten other countries, Out re-
CARELESS of those operations, he conclud.
ed. you have 80 per cent of the present
| world supply of oil under your control.
