MANCHUKUO OIL
 MONOPOLY HITS MANY NATIONS
United States and Great Britain Will Be Affected
 By New Rule

Hsinking. Manchukuo, Nov. 2.--t UP) .-The Manchukuan govern inent today announced creation or a state oil monopoly which the United. States, Great Britain ana the Netherlands fear will drive out foreign companies and close the ''open door, to, Manchukuan trade. : Forecast by some observers as the first of a series of state monop- olies planned by a government nor recognized by any nations except Japan and Fl Salvador, the Man. chukuan oil control plan extended to the sale, exportation and impor- tation of all volatile lamp, heavy and light oils, zenzol and oil fuel substitutes.
 In announcing the monopoly program, the government of Em- peror Kangteh, once boy emperor of China, sought to assure for eign firms now doing business in Manchukuo that they would not be molested and that every effort will be made to have them con-, tinue in business as wholesale agents licensed, by the government agency controlling the commodity.
 All oil products, whether im- pOELSu UT OOIucStiCdlAy PAGPNAO0 will be purchased by the govern ment, which then will retail them through official agencies the an- nouncement said. The government will set the retail and wholesale prices.
 The empire will be divided into 10 districts, in each of which a reasonable number of whole. salers'' will be permitted to oper. ate.
 The plan gave the government authority to adopt quota system for licensing importers. All com panies now operating will be per- mitted to continue their business, with equal treatment promised to all regardless of nationality.
 In event any companies wish to withdraw from Manchukuo, the government offered to purchase equipmnet.
 The monopoly program, placing the business in the hands of a single government-owned company, was the subject of diplomatic rep- resentations last July on the part of the United States and Great Britain.
 Ambassadors of these nations went to the Japanese foreign cf- flee and protested against the plans of the nation which Japan sponsored and aide in separating from China three years ago. The protesting nations said the monop- oly plan threatened to violate ex- isting treaties and to close the "open door" trade agreements which Manchukuo promised to re. spect.
 The Japanese government re- piled at that time that it was not responsible for what Manchukuo did and that in the eyes of the empire of Emperor Rang Teh, Japan is "just another foreign na- tion."
 Tokyo suggested the protesting nations consult Manchukuo direct ly about the monopoly program.
 Jap'nas answer left the hands of the American and British diplo- mats tied since their nations re- fuse to recognize Manchukuo as an independent nation and still regard it as part of the Chinese republic.
 The Standard Oil Co. and a Dutch English concern are heavy operators in the Manchukuo field.

NOVEMBER THOUGHTS
Good Evening.

When November days come sklddlng In And you slither along in the rain; Think of the fun When elections are done Then you come to the old refrain Of what to have for the Thanksgiving feast, Now will it be turkey or duck? Whom shall you dine,
 What kind of wine, And all the rest of the truck. When November days come skidding ln and You slither along in wet weather; You cannot decide
 On hat small or wide Or one with or without feather.
