Standard Oil Coup, Monopolizing Navy
 Supply, Suppressed!

Washington, D. C., June 16.- Daily newspapers do not dare print all the facts in the Teapot Dome case, the oil contract which Secretaries Fall and Denby secretly arranged with F. H. Sinclair for cleaning out the great oil supply reserved to the U. s. Government by the Roosevelt policy. The follow ing facts have so far been ig- nored:
 I. A complete monopoly on the
 business of supplying fuel oil
 to the U. s. Navy has been
 established by the Standard
 Oil.
 ?. A secret contract exists
 which specifies the price
 which. Standard Oil will ex-
 act from the government for
 future supplies of fuel oil B. Standard Oil is now able to
 control the price of oil and
 independent companies will
 not be in a position to com
 pete.
 The secret contract referred to is mentioned in the Teapot Dome contract of April 7, pub lication of which was forced by the action of Senators LaFol- lette and Kendrick in the Sem ate, and which reads:
 "The maker hereof will de- liver for the use of the United States Navy fuel oil of the specifications and under the terms and upon the exchange basis fixed in the certain con tract dated day of March, 1922, between the United States Government and the maker hereof"
 There has been no statement made explaining what this con tract is, nor with whom it has been made.
 Since the leasing law permit ting working of government oil lands on a royalty basis was passed the big job of Standard Oil has been to keep U. s. roy alty oil from coming into the open market where independent capital or refneries may bid for it.
