TO GRAB
US. OIL TRADE
British Government Enterprise
Would Invade American
Markets.

LONDON, May 23.-The Anglo
Persian Oil Company, a British
government enterprise which Is
building up a great petroleum
monopoly throughout the world. is
planning to invade the American
oil market and compete with the
Standard Oil Company in the United
States, according to the Sunday Ex-
press.
Two Trusts EnIe World.
Under the haring headline:
Secret Battle for Mesopotamia,
the Empires Certain Source OF Future
Oil Supplies" the Sunday Express
said today:
"The world is in the grip of two
trusts-the Standard Oil Company and
the Royal Dutch Shell group. They
have divided the world between them.
but now il Is in Bitain's power,
through Persia and Mesopotamia, to
achieve petroleum independence. The
Standard Oil Company is confronted
with the difficulty Of carrying oil
from America to compete in market
supplied from sources close at hand.
Hence il cries that Britain has an In
ordinate ambition to get all the oil Of
the world at her mercy.
"This agitation synchronizes with
the extraordinary attempts of the
Royal Dutch Shell group to obtain the
management of the Mesopotamia oil
fields, and 1t raises the natural query:
What has brought 1t to headT
New Opponent In Lists-
ct is because the Anglo-Persian Oil
Company, a private British organiza-
ton in which the British government
holds two-thirds OF the stock. will be
free from it's contract with the Royal
Dutch Shell group in 1922. emerging
as a serious opponent OF both the
Dutch group and the Standard Oil.
"The Anglo-Persian OIL Company
has been charging Its feet of vessels,
securing oil concessions throughout
the world and perfecting it's refineries.
and when, in 1922. the Dutch Shell
contract expires, it will be able to
supply the entire petroleum require
ments of the British empire. In four
years II will be able to compete with
the markets of the world"
The Sunday Express declares that
there Is no oil shortage in America.
II charges that the report on oil con-
ditions transmitted to the American
Senate by President Wilson for the
state Department was inaccurate and
inspired by the Standard OIL Com
pany.
