against workers and for espionage,
recently published a paper by the
same name, English translations of
which were shown by White Guard
leaders to the chiefs of the Amer
lean fascist paraders. These articles
called on all to "Kill the Reds" and
filled the World War Veteran heads
with such favor for the white
guards that they formed the Rus
sian subcommittee. The program
seems to be for the white guard
Russians, all with military exper-
fence and leaders of black hundred

czarist lawyer, the man who launch
ed the Protocols of the Wise Men
of Zion" forgeries in order to incita
the murder of Jews, connected with
Easley, and through him with Mat
thew Woll, in his publicity efforts,
is another. He was Kolchakist.

With them is one Weiren, Di-

OIL ARISES AS
PEACE MENACE
IN NEAR EAST
Four Nations Warily Eye
One Another in Fields
of Iraq.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
seripps-Houard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Oil, in
stead of apples, now threatens the
peace Of the Garden Of Eden, known
to nloderns as the Kingdom of Iraq,
soon to enter the League Of Nations
as a sovereign power.
Instead Of Adam and Eve, inter
national oil companies may start
scrapping, among themselves, as
King Feisal plays the role of the
angel with the flaming sword to
drive the concessionaries into the
outer darkness.
Today the government Of King
Feisal of Iraq. and King George of
Great Britain are arranging the
final details of Britain's surrender
Of her mandate over the formers
kingdom. There is some uneasiness.
therefore, in American oil circles,
over just what will happen when
when the country gains independ-
ence.
-Four Nations in Field
AS things stand, four groups of
nations control the Iraq Petroleum
Company, operating in the Rich
Mosul fields north of Bagdad-the
British, Dutch, French and Ameri-
can. The Anglo-Persian, Royal
Dutch Shell and a French group
control three-quarters while Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey. Standard Oil
Of New York, the Pan-American and
Gulf Refining control the other
fourth.
Mesopotamia. or the Kingdom Of
Irsq, was created as a result of the
allies victory over Turkey, and
Prince Feisal, third son of the then
king of the Hejaz, a good soldier
and f1rst-rate diplomat, was made
king by referendum. The country
was not independent, however, be-
ing governed by Britain under a
League of Nations mandate.
Recently oil has given the country
vastly added Importance. At the
same time Britain is about to make
good her promise Of full indepen-
dence. In much the same manner
that the United States Withdrew
from Cuba, Britain proposes to get
out Of Iraq, retaining only the right
to lease three air bases. protect
Iraq's independence, and exercise a
sort of supervision over the king
dOms financial and foreign rela-
tons.
Uneasy Over Conditions
Uneasiness is caused by Iraq's
spokesmen's declaration that oil
concessions, like treaties and other
agreements entered into during the
mandate period, must be submitted
to parliament for ratification before
they will be valid under the new
regime.
Britain, Of course, could make
recognition of the oil agreements a
fundamental condition of yielding
her mandate, but she may hesitate
to take such a course, Smacking, as
it might. of forcing Iraq to ransom
her freedom.

says Mr.. Granger. Some, however,

In my opinion, to maintain q high-price

Of living. II we can get the comforts
Of life at reduced prices, IL is not harm
ful, but might even be regarded as an
advantage. especially since America
tends to move more and more as q part

/. Our increased production In itself
Is not harmful. The fact that we can
produce in this country so much more
than we produced last year should be
q source Of strength to us rather than
weakness. We have plenty. but 1t does
not reach the people for whom 1t was
produced. There exists an actual sur
plus Of manufactured commodities, and
an infinitely greater potential over
supply, yet these goods cannot be ac-
quired by the millions who need them
badly for current consumption. This
overproduction must be brought to the
consumers. The cycle must be stopped
and started in the opposite direction.
To my mind. the most effective action
for quick mass results lies in placing
our consumers In position to buy the
required materials, which, in turn,
means low prices and some degree OF
