Ban Alien Oil Concern

WASHINGTON. March 7.-Determina- policy against alien control of domestic oil iieids was seen today in the decision of the interior department denying the lease sought by the Roxana Petroleum corpora tlon to extensive oil lands of the Creek indian tribe in Oklahoma.
 The decision. announced yesterday and approved by Secretary Fall as his Ia st official act before retiring from office up- holds departmental regulations pursuan mt to the act Of 1920, by which the secretary said. alien leases of Indian lands were specifically restricted to those countries which did not deny similar privilege to citizens or corporations of this country"
 The Roxana company, the decision said IS owned by the Shalt Union corporation 66 per cent of tte common stock of which was said to be owned by Dutch and Brit ish Slnterests and to form the controlling stock of the corporation. At hearings granted on it's appeal from the regulations tne company was said to have failed to discuss the matter of discrimination against American interests on the part of the countries represented by the ma jority stockholders.
 :, The company based its arguments for right to the lease on the ground that the secretary Of the Interior had no authority 10 disapprove 1t solely on the ground that the lessees were aliens but Secretary Fall based his decision on a recent federal court ruling which. he said. made all Indian leases subject to the approval of the Sec retary of the Interior"

 Good Weather in South.
 Prospects for good weather in the south seemed to bring in good deal of southern selling of early new crop deliveries and this encouraged sell ing of old crop deliveries. As re- suit March eased off to 30.61c. May to 30.77c and July to 30.04c, or 12 to 14 points net lower, while the new crops showed net losses of 35 to 40 points during the early afternoon.
