RKDEN|ESP[AN
|FOR OIL MONOPOLY
Says South American Ma.
'tions Misinterpret Report
of Federal Board.

BY the Associated Press.
Declaring report Of the Federal
Oil Board had been misinterpreted I'm
certain South American countries,
Secretary Work said today the board
"did not contemplate nor intend that
anything would be done by American
companies operating abroad to monop-
olize or prejudice the oil production of
any country"
A paragraph in a board report OF
September 26, 1926. covering general
petroleum conditions contained these
statements:
THE fields of Mexico and South
America are of large yield and much
promising geological oil structure Is
as yet undrilled. That our companies
should vigorously acquire and explore
such fields is of first Importance, not
only as a source of future supply. but
a supply under control of our citi-
zens."
Statement Held MiscOnstrued.
That phase of the report under
control of our own citizens" Mr.. Work
said apparently had been seized "as an
argument in the advocacy of govern
mental control and operation of the
petroleum industry in certain South
American countries. but the propo-
nents of such a policy have miscon.
strued the import of the boards state
ment."
The controlling thought in the
minds Of members of the board, the
secretary continued, was to urge
our citizens to seek production abroad
in order to better adjust conditions OF
world supply and demand by supply.

tries from local sources instead Of
drawing on the supply from the
United States for that purpose. and,
where petroleum can be found abroad
in excess of the needs of the particu-
lar country, for out citizens to partici-
pate In its development in order that
such excess as might be needed to sup
plement petroleum produced in the
United States would be under control
of our citizens.
Calls Step Reciprocal.
''It was assumed as obvious that all
the needs of the Nation and of the
people of any country where petro.
leum might be found would have first
call on such supply and only the ex-
cess supply would be exported under
conditions defined by the laws of the
country in question.
''Under our own laws, foreign ma
tionals now own petroleum produc-
ton in the United States and share
in the benefits from petroleum pro-
duced here, and it was deemed recip-
rocal and proper that our citizens
should be advised and encouraged by
the board to seek in similar manner

sources Of petroleum supply in for.
