British Grab
Our Oil
n ENATOR KING has demanded

uatlon In California. III ls hlgh
time to hold the investigation and
it ought to be thorough.
The real situation is that British
capitalists, back of whom is the
British Government, are secretly OBJ
tanning control of California's oil
production, under the disguise Of
American corporations which are
American in name only.
The Senate should investigate the
Union Oil Company of Delaware.
We think the Senate will find
that this corporation is really only
a blind behind which the Royal
Dutch Shell, now a British owned
company, is working.
We think the Senate will find
that the Union Oil Company of Del
aware is about to make a pretended
purchase of the Shell company, but
that the British company will still
control the Union Oil Company.
We know the Senate will find
that there is plot to obtain British
control of California oil production
through this and similar secret con-
trivances.
We know that the Senate will
find that these British interests
have just sold a million and half
barrels Of California oil to the Jap
anese, and we believe the Senate
will find that these British interests
sell oil to the japanese for Jess than
they charge American ships and
manufacturers.
We know that the Senate should
prevent such sales and such dis
elimination against American inter
ests in favor of Japanese competi-
tors.
We need all our oil at home.
What is not needed for present use
should be left in reserve in the
ground.
If we 60 to war with japan some
day, we will find enough rough
work to do without fighting extra
battleships built by machinery driv-
en- by American oil and paid for by
money made at the expense of
American industries, crippled by
japanese competition through the
ability of Japanese to buy Ameri-
can oil from camouflaged British
corporations cheaper than Ameri-
cans can buy.
We trust Senator King will in
sist upon Senate investigation of
this dangerous situation, and that
the Senate will make a good job of
the investigation.
The British Government, through
British corporations, is grabbing
oil territory in all parts of the
world.
We ought to have sense enough
to keep our own oil territory, at
least, in American hands.
