SAYS STANDARD
OIL is STAGING
GRABIN WORLD
AnglO-Persian Official Resents
Government Support in
Race for Control.
U. S. METHODS ASSAILED

LONDON. Feb. THE "ruthlessness
Of the struggle between American anc
European interests for control Of the
worlds oil supply is causing great In
ternationaI bitterness when every one
should know this fight eau best be set
tied by strictly business methods" an
official of the Anglo Persian iii Com
pany declared today.
The Anglo-Persian group, controlled
by the British government, believes that
the Standard oil group, is receiving
support of the American Government In
its efforts at world domination of the
petroleum situation.
LAS an example Of the Standard Oifs
agility" this official said, 'it has just
grabbed off in Colombia concessions to
an extremely rich oil field Of two mil
lion acres.
FORCED TO CANCEL
BRITISH CONCESSION.
This was accomplished by forcing the
Colombian government to cancel a Brit
fish concession obtained by Lord Cowdray
who. cooperating with the Royal Bank
of Canada, accomplished the missionary
work in the Colombian fields. The
American government is the most power
full influence in Colombia"
In other quarters of British oil circles
there are broad hints that the same
maneuver was accomplished in Costa
RIGA, where the government is alleged
to have been induced to cancel a British
concession on holdings itotaling 5000
square miles in a particularly rich field.
Officials Of the Anglo Persian Company
fatty denied their concern had or will
be amalgamated with the Royal Dutch
Shell group to fight the Standard Oil for
world supremacy.
REFINING AGREEMENT
ONLY CONNECTION.
They said the only connection between
the two corporations is an agreement
Of long standing, whereby the Royal
Dutch refnes a major portion Of the
lo-Persian crude product. This agree
ment expires IN 1922. The Anglo-Per-
sian, they said is now constructing q
huge refinery In South Wales to handle
its own oils.
1t was pointed out that at present
american oil concerns are producing
about so per cent Of the worlds output,
while the British are producing only
per cent, with undevelOped resources
about equally divided among the oppos-
ing groups.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS

Mr.. and Mrs Joe Earman and Mrs
w. A. Dutch of West Palm Beach and
DR.. Ralph Greene of Jacksonville,
were welcome visitors TO the Star Of
fee Saturday. They were here on
their way from Jacksonville 10 Or
lando, and had expected TO spend the
night in Ocala, but the rain interfered
with their schedule and they thought
they had better push on after stop
ping for dinner and supply of gaso-
line.
Mr. Earman was for awhile chair
man of the board of control, but for
the last two years has been president
Of the state board of health, of which
DR.. Greene is secretary. Both gentle
men intend to resign when their terms
are out-Mr. Earman. because he
needs to devote his time to his busl-
ness and his own health, and DR..
Greene because he can't afford any
longer to work for the salary the
state pays him. They have made an
unequaled record, reducing expenses
of the board by half and increasing
its efficiency greatly. They have en-
abled the legislature to cut its millage
in half, and their successors will have
to work hard and intelligently to equal
their work.
We were glad to see Mr.. Earman
looking so well. His combined indus
tries-running a paper. being the
leader in good works in his home
town, presidenting the two state
boards for four years, and incidentally
attending to his private business on
the side, put him down so close to the
FLYER Jordan that he could hear the
musical fish running their scales. By
selling his interest in his paper to his
friend, Mr.. Conkling, however, he LEI
himself loose from his most harassine
work, and has regained most of his
health and strength, but this dea
cost the state one of it's most inter
esting writers-or maybe saved hin
for another day.
Mr.. Earman's industry in the tw,
offices he has held, neither of which
paid him cent of salary, was i'm
mehse. Among other things he dit

troll, was to read all the books sub
