5000 Barrels Daily Run Into Control
 of Monopoly

The Secretary of the Interior recently entered into a contract with the Sin, clair Oil Purchasing Company for the sale of the governments royalty oil from the Salt Creek Field in Wyoming amounting to approximately 5000 bar rels daily for a period of five years Simultaneously with the letting of this contract the Secretary announces that 1t Is the Successful completion of his program to place Wyoming crude oil or a price parity with similar oil from the Mid Continent held"; and that the ''ac- ceptance of the Sinclair bid wipes out as far as the government IS concerned the price differential between the two fields"
 The Secretary then gives data to show how much more the government will re- ceive for its royalties under this contract in the future than 1t has received in the past.
 To those who do not know the facts and few indeed do-this announcement conveys the impression that the Secre- tary, by his program, has forced the oil companies to pay, the government what its oil is worth that he has driven a re- markable bargain, that he has won a tremendous victory in a battle with the oil hnanciers; but to those who are familiar with the true situation, and with this program" of the Secretary, the letting of this contract is only sequel to the most discreditable act of a thoroughly discredited administration, namely the leasing of the Teapot Naval Reserve, Wyoming, to the Standard Oil Monopoly.
 As matter of fact, this last number on the Secretary's program" is the act that completes the monopoly of the Standard Oil interests in Wyoming.
 HOW LEASING BEGAN.
 A brief resume of the facts is nec- essary
 The great Salt Creek field in Wyoming the public domain, was withdrawn from entry or location, by President Taft by Executive Order of September 27, 1909, with view to conserving to the future generations a valuable national re- source. Certain locations had therefore been made in these lands; but large majority of them had long before been thoroughly fraudulent that all rights claimed hereunder were unworthy of consideration.
 Nevertheless certain oil companies and individual operators asserted claims to various parts of the field. These claims were of such character, however, that the claimants rather than undertake to establish them or defend them, in the courts under existing law, sought Con gressional relief, which was granted by the Act of February 25, 1920, com monly known as the Leasing Law.
 Under this law the claimants sur- rendered all claims to title and were granted leases to the lands by the Secre- tary of the Interior. The royalties under these leases, according to the Secretary, at present amount to approximately 5000 barrels of oil daily.
 NATURAL OIL RESERVOIR.
 Naval Reserve No }, commonly known as the Teapot Dome, also was withdrawn, and by Executive Order of April 30, 1915. was set aside for the United States Navy. This reserve is adjacent to or within a few miles of the

Washington, Jan. I2.-Oficers oi the Standard Oil Company of New York protested to the senate oil in vestigating committee when they were requested to state the salary they receive.
 Making this information public, the committee was informed, might de moralize the companys personnel. It developed that in 1921 the company paid $4o5,44o in salaries to A individu- aIs, including the president and di- rectors. The average wage of 10000 employees was $I,5oo.

Secretary Falls Work Analysed
 by Expert Bell
COMPETITION IMPOSSIBLE.

The Secretary says, "The contract further establishes the procedure e buying, oil on a quality basis It Is felt that this method of purchase will become the standard throughout the Mid Continent and Wyoming ields.' As to this statement we merely want to say that purchasers of crude oil in the Mid Continent fields, many weeks before the Sinclair bid for Salt Creek royalties that the Secretary had absolutely nothing to do with the change.
 The Secretary says, "Thirteer firl1Is competed for the contract to purchase this royalty oil" Possibly three or four of these bidders are independent of Standard Oil domination, but how could bidding when they have no pipe lines or refireries, and cannot have because or the Special favor" received from the Standard Oil interests It requires pro tt.on to support pipe lines and re- fnerics and ths tn independent com panies have not and neither can they get 1t. To compete with the Standard Oil monopoly is difficult. but to co,np.te with c combination of Standard Ol a1Id tke United States government is impossi- ;;Ir. Apparently oniv the favored" in- tc,7 7sts ever can operate on the ruhlc d0n'a1n.
 MAMMOTH GOT ALL.
 Let it be distinctly understood that the government royalties from the Tea pot field were not ir:cluded in this rece:.t trans action because ali that ever may be produced from ttis field were sold, c,sl .1estinely and without competiti e bidding, to the Mammoth Oil Company ii, tte leasing arrangement of last Apri! Nc;tl.er can the government ever demand ti,c>t royalties in kind.

This would take away another large section of German manufactures and less able pay than in the Ruhr restored her and she was allowed to develop her resources
 The meaning of the many speeches promulgated by the French premier hard to understand unless realizes that for him to agree to reduce Germanys payments would be to commit political suicide.
 While Germany and France not compelled to accept the findings or the separations commission and Premier Poncale right in his declaration that the payments can not be modified except by permission of France the Allies believe that in view of the unpopularty of the French stand with other natons whom she is keeping out of their payments will force her, time to accede in allowing the separations to be set at figure that Germany otherwise bankrupt can pay When the commission determines the nations capacity to meet Gernanys obligations it will at the same time suggest plan whereby Germany can bepn to pay This means basis for international loan If in the face of it's recommendations France still takes the position that the experts wrong and that Germany pay more than has been fixed and France will not to any reducon the deadlock which has been goino on for over year will cOntinue the further isrntion of Europe -
