Many a good wife takes all the

I TO the severing of the Anglo Russian

of the oil concessions in northern
Persia to the Soviet Government by
the Persian government
The action Of the Royal Dutch
Shell group, both in denouncing the
Persian agreement and the plan to
found refineries there by the Roxana
Petroleum Company, an offspring of
the Royal Dutch, is regarded here as
an aggressive measure by the British
interests in the oil war that has sud
denly broken out between the leading
petroleum interests of the United
States and Great Britain"
SO much for the struggle for oil in
- the Near East between these two
gigantic concerns, each a decisive fac
tor within it's respective imperialism,
as a result of the Standards agree
ment to purchase Soviet oil against
the opposition of it's chief competitor,
as related by the Herald Tribune cor
respondent.
1t is evident that Walter C. Teagle's
warm personal friendship" for Sir
Henri Deterding did not serve to tone
down to any extent the antagonism
between Royal Dutch and Standard.
NEITHER did friendship of the head

for Sir Henri deter him from dealing

second field on which the struggle

In the same dispatch from which
we quote above, the correspondent
tells of the conclusion of an agree
ment between the Standard Oil of New
Jersey and the German dye trust.
He says:
THE agreement between the Ger
man and American interests, whereby
the Standard Oil acquires the right
to use the Bergius method in the
manufacture of synthetic petroleum
extracted. from coal and other valu-
able patents and to sell the German
dye trust products, is regarded AS A

the international oil war revolving
around Russian oil deposits that we
are forced to quote it at length. The
dispatch deals with two different
phases of the struggle between the
Royal Dutch Shell and the Standard
but which nevertheless have a direct
connection with each other i. e. the
clash for the acquisition of the crude
oil, centering around Baku and the
Near East on one hand, and the strug-
gle for the markets, principally
European, in which to dispose of the
refined product,

has denounced its agreement with the
Standard Oil Company for coopera-
ton in exploiting the Persian oil
fields, the "Borsen Courier" declares
today. Henceforth the British COM
pany will look after it's own interests
there.
The Interpretation put on this re-
port in financial circles here is that it
is development of the oil war be-
tween the Dutch Shell and the Stan

began when the latter company en-
tered into an agreement with the Rus
sian Naptha Company for the pur-
chase of Russian oil.

THE Soviet Union will sell to the
Spanish oil monopoly one-half of the
total supplies this Spanish govern
ment trust will purchase in the world
markets, according to recent dis
patches.
Thus the great moral ISSUE of
buying oil from the Soviet Union,
which in connection with other strug-
giles between the giants of the I'M
perialist oil world-Standard Oil and
Royal Dutch Shell-has agitated the
European and American press in con-
nection with the Spanish deal, is
settled by a capitalist nation getting
half its oil supply from the cheapest
available market.
This is the latest advance of the
oil supplies of the Soviet Union into
the world markets. There have been
others and in connection with them
has been carried on diplomatic and
commercial maneuvering which has
had a decisive effect on world politics.
Inseparably connected with the
British imperialist offensive against
the Soviet Union and with the danger
of imperialist war, it will be useful to
review the imperialist struggle CEN
tering around oil.
THE recent heated controversy be-
! tween Walter C. Teagle, head of
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, on one hand and the heads
of the Standard Oil Company of New
York and Vacuum Oil Company-a
Standard Oil concern-on the other,
following the conclusion of an agree
ment by the two latter companies for
the purchase of large quantities of
oil from the Soviet Union govern
ment, will be easily recalled.
I LIKEWISE it will be easy to recall
u the blistering remarks literally
made and given to the press by Sir
Henri Deterding, head of the Royal
Dutch Shell Company, British domi-
mated, and the chief competitor of
the Standard, relative to the iniquity
of Standard Oil or any other concern
dealing with government which Sir
Henri has frequently claimed was
composed of "robbers and murder
ers."
WALTER C. TEAGLE, "a warm per-
" sonal friend" of the Royal Dutch
Shell head, so the capitalist press
stated, would undoubtedly patch mat
ters up because of this same warm
personal friendship" for Sir Henri
and the fact that Teagle, big bust
ness man of unquestioned integrity,
famed for his loyalty to America,
would never subordinate his hatred
for the Soviet regime to sordid profit
for his company.
The capitalist press gave no hint
Of any other motives underlying

 The only clew the police have to work on was supplied by taxi driver who said that he had taken two men to Hamden who answered the description of two of the escap- ed prisoners. They told him that they were on their way to Water bury. He said that there were two others with the men when he picked them up, but the other pair walked away as his patrons stepped into the cab.
 One of the quartet. William Mitt- Ter, was serving a federal sentence for forgery and the others. all coun- ty prisoners were Charles Semhrick. Edward Burns and Charles 10th.
