OIL AGAIN

Oil is again seen floating on the sur
face Of International relations. This
time il is in the Dutch East Indies,
where the Standard Oil company has
been refused the privilege Of bidding for
q concession. When it became apparent
that the Dutch parliament would vote TO
bar the Standard. thus giving a virtual
monopoly OF the Djambi fields OF SUI
matra 10 English interests, Secretary Of
State Hughes sent note on the subject
70 the Dutch minister OF foreign affairs,
protesting and asking equal opportu-
nifty.
Apparently this did not impress the
Netherlands government. as the vote
showed a considerable majority for the
exclusion Of the American company
Such action is more easily understood
when il is considered that Dutch and
British oil interests are closely associ-
ated in the Royal Dutch company, which
occupies a position in Europe similar to
that OF tho Standard in this country.
OF greater interest and Importance
than the Dutch action is the statement
OF Secretary Hughes in his note. that
the United States will adopt the prin-
ciple that no fo1eign capital may operate
in American oil lands unless it's govern
ment accords similar privileges to
American citizens. 1t is rather late 10
adopt such a principle. but i may still
prove an effective weapon in some cases.
America IS no longer virgin field for
oil development. yet we have sufficient
undeveloped lands to be attractive to
foreign capitalists.
In View OF the rapid depletion Of our
oil resources. no regulatory measure
should be overlooked. VIC have only
one-twelfth OF the worlds oil resources.
yet we arr at present producing - p.r-
cent of the oil used by the entire world
The meaning OF that is plain. Unless
We find unsupported new resources in
our own territory or can gain control
OF fields in other. lands. We shall within
A few years be dependent upon foreign
companies and foreign government for
petroleum. Our production is altoGet
out OF proportion TO our resources while
other nations are using our oil and hold.
Ing their own fields until ours are ex-
hauStcd. This constitutes a potentially
dangerous situation. and one that We
must combat by every means In our
power.
