TsrAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. sERvIcEl
LONDON. May 5. Behind the
maneuvers Of the gigantic oil in
terests, which are agitating the
British foreign office today. a great
battle is being waged by British
and American concerns for world
supremacy in the petroleum indus
try.
Officials OF the foreign office
stated that they had not yet re-
ceived any protest from America re-
Sarding the reported compact be-
tween the Royal Dutch and Shell
companies with the Moscow gov
ernment for Russian oil conces-
sions. but they had heard that such
a protest was being forwarded from
Washington.
1t was declared the foreign office
has no knowledge of the reported
oil agreement, which was alleged
to have been signed by the Russians
and representatives of the British
oil interests at Genoa. The govern
ment, 1t was pointed out, would be
the first to protest against such
compact because Premier Lloyd
George at the meeting OF the su-
preme council at Cannes agreed
that no monopolies should be estab-
1ished.
Despite denials, the report that
the Royal Dutch and Shell group
had gained a monopoly in Russian
petroleum continued in effect. 1t is
known that the Standard Oil Com
pany has been after Russian con-
cessions. the negotiations having
been IN progress for some months.
1t is reported in unofficial quarters
that British government attaches
believe that the Paris report of the
British oil compact have stirred the
Standard Oil Company to action and
that the Standard may have made
representations to the American
State department on the subject. AL
ready, America has sent notes to
Great Britain protesting against
the exclusion of American oil COM
panies from inundated territory
especially Mesopotamia, where the
British secured rich oil concessio&s
The whole world is the battle field
for the oontending giants that are
seeking fresh oil territory to take
the places OF fields that are becom-
ing exhausted. 1t includes Russia
Persia, Turkey. Rumania China and
some of the smaller eastern states.
as well as Mexico.
