war FOR OIL
Standard, Royal Dutch
Hurl Charges of
Unfair Deeds

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-tP)-A A
worldwide oil war was indicated to-
day as the Standard Oil company Of
New York picked up the gauge Of
battle which il believes the Royal
Dutch Shell company has tossed at
its feet.
The controversy started last sum-
mer when Sir Henri W. A. Deterd-
ing asserted that the Standard Of
New York in contracting for Rus
sian oil. was buying stolen oil +"
taken from its owners by "a gang
of cut throats, assasins and thieves. :"
Sir Henri. chairman Of the Royal
Dutch company, which is the great
rival of Standard for world markets,
charged that the dealings of Stand
ard Oil with the Soviet government
was counter to the best interests of
humanity and of trade honesty.
In its first public statement on
the controversy, the Standard Of
New York says that its dealings
with the Soviet government are not
out Of accord with Americas policy
toward Russia, and announces that
the company will carry out its con-
tracts, and will not be swerved in
any manner from its clearly con-
ceived policy by such desperate and
destructive measures as are being
followed in India and threatened in
other parts of the world"
The reference 70 desperate and
destructive measures" in India re-
ferred to price-cutting, secret re-
bates" and bonuses for increased

company is carrying on.

To Meet In Texas
'Gratifies' Moody

AUSTIN. Tex, Jan. 16.-(Pl--Win-
ming the democratic national conven-
tion for Texas was profoundly graft
flying" Governor Dan Moody said
when he returned TO Austin Sunday
night from the Jackson day dinner
and national committee meeting In
Washington.
The governor declined to discuss
the wet-dry issue as touched on in
his Jackson day address, but prom
ised a statement to newspapermen
later covering his views on the ef-
feet Of bringing the nominating con-
vention to Texas.
Houston got the convention with
out any "log rolling" he declared,
and had the solid support of Southern
states after Miami. Florida, dropped
out in Houston's favor. Few eastern
committeeman voted for Texas, Mr..
Moody said.
Jesse Jones deserves . lot of
credit the governor said. "He told
them Houston could take care of the
convention. and that Texas had ade-
quate transportation facilities and he
met the San Francisco offer by sub
mitting a check to cover the conven-
tion expenses"
Governor Moody had nothing TO
say" of any possible effect national
politics may have on his indicated
decision to seek reelection as gov
ernor.

echo of the tremendous ovation
with which he was acclaimed on his
way TO the theater.
The great throng assembled cheer
ed and clapped their hands at sew
eral points in his address, laying
stress on hope for peace in the New
World. and rose from their seats
several times to add weight to their
enthusiasm.
without mentioning the League Of
Nations or the Monroe Doctrine, the
president assured the congress that
the Pan-American Union involves
no antagonism toward any section
Of the world or any other organiza-
tion," but AZ the same time declared
that the nations of the Western
Hemisphere are committed to the
principle that they are better fit
ted to govern themselves than any
one else is TO govern them"
Mr.. Coolidge devoted his whole
address TO the community aspect Of
New World affairs, rather than to
the individual attitude and policies
of his own country. The name Of
the United States was not once
mentioned by the president except
to give the assurance that MS gov
ernment was prepared TO encourage
development Of shipping, air lines,
highways and all pursuits of peace
that might bring the various units
of the American family of states
into a closer and more permanent
harmony.
All Are Equal
He declared there was no intention
in this hemisphere Of any nation
building up a great military estab-
lishment to over-awe or subjugate
its neighbors, and enunciated the
doctrine that all nations Of this
hemisphere are determined 10 ad-

Senator Simmons to
Seek Immediate Ac-
ton on Measure, He
Informs Writers

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 16.-tP,
Charges that the administration
was blocking senate action on the
$500, 200, 900 tax reduction bill be-
cause it had been discovered that one
OF its provisions would increase by
S50,000,000 the taxes paid by larger
corporations, were made in the house
today by Representative Garner, DEM
ocrat Of Texas.
The Texan. who is ranking minor
ity member of the house ways and
means committee. made his assertion
coincident with the announcement
that Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, senior democrat on the
senate finance committee, would
align democrats against the repup-
lican move to postpone tax legislation
until after the March 15 returns
were in.
Garner asserted that under a pro-
vision of the bill corporations in
which Secretary Mellon was interest
ed would pay a total increase of
Sl,000,000, adding:
1T means more taxes for Mr.. Mel
Ion, and that isn't tax reduction TO
Uncle Andy"
The increase would be brought
ABOUT under Sectlon l4l OF the new
law which would require parent and
subsidiary corporations to file sep
arate tax returns instead of "affili-
ated returns" as permitted at pre-
sent, he explained.
After a conference of the minority
members, Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking democrat on the
finance committee which has charge
OF revenue legislation, announced
that the democrats would present a
united front for immediate consider
alton Of the bill.
Republicans have a majority of
two members on the committee and
Chairman Smoot has declared his
belief that the majority would stick
together for the delay.
Whether the democrats will carry
the fight to the floor If defeated in
committee was not revealed today
but republican independents who are
against any tax cut at this time are
expected 70 stand by the republican
regulars for a postponement.
While he reiterated today his dis
agreement with some of the provi-
sions in the $290.000,000 tax reduc-
tion measure passed by the house
Senator Simmons did not have the
minority members of the committee
go into details on a program.
