lar blanket Indians would doubtless
interest him greatly, Oklahoma
show her wonderful resources than
now. and II ~ easily a fact that all
her best production is within easy
reach OF Tulsa.
Sir John is also doing ergent
missionary work IN bringing about
better feeling between the United
States aud England. ana this. In
spite OF the fhct that tho newspapers
OF Englond, shortly after the armia-
uce, were fun of much unjust crili-
ciafr OF the Yankees, although II
was the United States that had just
done SO much toward winning the
wnt; and In this country thoro has
heon a great deal Of equally vicious
publicity aimed at England.
While Sir John Cndman's speech
In full. as ho delivered Il at tho
meeting of the American Petroleum
Institute In Chicago, early In De.
cember IL OF Interest "A synopsis OF
hts speech there and 0t the meeting
OF the war Horsico committee In
New York, as compiled by the
National Petroleum News, seems 10
cover tho ground thoroughly and IL
herewith given.
In the war days We worked In
close cooperation and harmony, but
IN the d'shandmant OF the Petroleum
war Service committee. when the
war ended. | feel that we left our
task unfinished. In tho wako of
war there appeared "A ghost OF war
ilmo conditions In tho form OF be-
lief that Great Britain was strnining
"a corner tho petroleum resources
OF the world. ! am certain that IL
the war service committee had con
tinued Its work In the period OF rc.
construction the real story would
bo known and this sinister ghost
would havo long since vanished be-
foro tho truth,
With respect TO tho three most
mlsleading f0llaclcs about Great
britain's oil policy cannot ompha.
eizo too strongly tho following facts;
"First; IL In not truo that the
British government IL engaged I'm
the oil business ana controls the
Anglo.Persian and Royal Dutch
, companies.
NNSecond; II IL not trua that
Great liritain II trying TO secure "A
monopoly OF tho petroleum resources
of the world.
Third; II n not kruo that Great
Britain Is shutting out American
citinens and American capital"
After explaining how the British
government became n atockholder
In the Anglo Persian OH Co. which
he had previously explained I'm the
interview IN National Petroleum
News, Sir John went ON TO say
~ weird picture has also been
drawn about Mesopotamin' The fact
is that the ownersh,p OF the oil de-
posits In Mesopotamia will he Sc
cured to the Arab state as part OF
the administrative arrangements un-
der the treaty mandate Tho inter
osts of the Arab state win he care
fully safeguarded That ia the first
change upon the government that Is
TO exercise this mandate. II mus,
also be realized that due Conaider-
alton will be given TO rights legally
secured before the war and that any
such rights can only be considered
whom the new government IL set up
Great Britain s denying the op.
portunity TO all nationals. her own
ipcluded. TO make any superficial cN-
animation OF these areas for com
mercial purposes until such time a'
she has been definitely charged with
the mandate.
"Beyond that Il has been stated
that In the san Reno agreement
Great Britain and France have par
relied out Mcsppotamll between
thc;r=-i"c=, - enc uf tho sigma
tories ot that agreement. | can as
sure YOU that there was nothing I'm
the minds of the trainers which was
against the interest ~ the United
states or any other country In no
pare Of that agreement is there a
suggestion OF discrimination nor wac
u the intention 10 discriminate
against any similar reciprocal ar
rangoment with any other country
It's principal object was tu secure
an arrangemCnt which would be oi
lasting benefit 20 the Arab state
when constituted which yauld not h,
secured under any other arrange
mcnt.
