OIL PARLEY A FAILURE
Diplomatic Efforts Over Djambi
Fields In Air.
RetaIiatory Measures Believed Only
Course Open for United states To
Now Follow.

Observation-Disclosures over the
right OF American companies to enter
the, Djambi oil field in "Sumatra have
reached the point where it would be
necessary for the United States to en-
force the retaliatory provisions which
were mentioned in the note of Charles
Evans Hughes to the Netherlands gov.
eminent.
The Dutch reply it was learned, and
the apparent sentiment in parliament
to stand by the measure barring for.
eign capital, have convinced officials
of this government that the point
which they have. been seeking to make
cannot be gained automatically.
Little hope is placed here in the
theory advanced in Holland that tn the
development of other Americans will
be given consideration, as it believed
that the Djambi field is the only one
which can be counted upon for suffi
Gent oil to make exploitation on a
large scale profitable.
Inquiry is being made by the gov.
eminent now, i: is understood, as to
what action may be taken under the
provision Of the general land leasing
bill to .retaliate against Dutch capital.
Broadly the bill provides /: that the
right Of development and exploitation
may be denied to nationals Of countries
whose home government denies similar
rights to Americans. a.: J.
It is; not::daemed~ possible that the
measure can be made retroactive, as
this would place the United States in
the same position relatively which it
now is fighting in Mexico.
No reply has been sent to the latest
Dutch note, and it is not anticipated
that one will be until the State depart.
ment is able to state with positiveness
what its position will be in the future
toward Dutch capital.

TARIFF AND THE BUSINESS
MANS PARTY

Republican leader Mondell (WyO.)
promises that the tariff bill will be re-
ported about July l to the House, and
tho fact that Republican members are
in disagreement over some of the
schedules, especially wool and lumber,
indicates a long and sultry debate. The
making of tariff bill furnishes a
good illustration Of the business meth
DDS of the Democratic and the Repub~
ican parties in expediting legislation.
In the Democratic Congress elected
in 1910, the House passed tariff bill
within thirty days after it was organ
lied. =,
! Tie Republican party has had con.
troll of Congress now for ~ months;
the tariff question has been under con-
sideration for about 8 months; the
present Congress has been in session
nearly three months and a tariff bill
is just about to be reported.
The Democratic Congress, however,
had these advantages; It did not have
to cater to any special interests; it
had no election debts to pay to priv
legged classes; it did not have to listen
to horde Of lobbyists. It simply had
to make a business tariff and pass it,
and business at once adjusted itself to
the new schedules.
Still, the Republican party goes right
On claiming to be the business man Is

Senator Frelinghauysen, Republican of

Refers to Row Over Dilis.
The statement referred to the con-
troversy over the Frelinghuysen bills,
now on the senate calendar, one Of
which would facilitate granting of
freight rates on coal lower in sum-
mer and higher In winter, while thu
second would establish government
supervision Of coal prices, production,
stocks and movements.
Naming the National Coal associa-
ton, the Anthracite Coal Operators
association, the American Wholesale
Coal association, and the National Re-
tail Coal Merchants association, Sen
ator Frelinghuysen said these "com-
bined organizations have unmasked
their batteries, and are attacking with
q violence almost unprecedented the
very practical piece of legislation be-
fore the Senate" and were endeavor-
ing by "misstatements and misrepre-
sensations" to throw dust in the eyes
of the Senate and the public"
Operators Sincerity Doubted.
Coal operators, Senator Frelinghuy-
sen said, always asserted that high
prices during recent shortage periods
never brought them great profits.
But l am disposed to believe they
have never been sincere, and have
never told the truth regarding opera
tors profits" and in hectic fulmina-
ton lobbyists of the "bombastic furi-
oso type" are issuing propaganda OF
grotesquely inaccurate and misleading
nature" to make it appear that govern
ment operation Of mines is involved in
the legislation.
If those bills are defeated, a
tragedy next fall and winter in the
nature of coal famine, worse than
ever experienced before, is inevitable"
Senator Frelinghuysen said, pointing
out that his measures would come to
vote or be sent back to committee
next week.
"The fact is, doubt if this famine
can be avoided, but we can prevent
a second tragedy year later"
