enough to carry the target in a campaign for Gov

WHO has oil. has empire. So spoke a wise

Recent history bears him out for oil has been of
the chief considerations Of the nations since the
World war.
The struggle over oil since 1918 has not been
merely the battle Of gigantic corporations seeking
profits in the realm Of trade. Behind the corpora
tons have been nations The stake has been national
position and safety. not only dollars.
Many observers believe that the big struggle for
oil is between the United States and Great Britain
The Royal Dutch Shell combination represents both
Dutch and British capital with British interests
dig only 40 per cent Of the combine Its headquarters
however are in London, and because Of the greater
Importance Of Great Britain in international affairs
the company is usually regarded as primarily repre-
sentative OF Great Britain.
To-Day. the Standard OIL companies and the Shell
companies face each other in every part of the world
They have invaded each others homeands. Wher-
ever YOU go in America. Europe. or Asia YOU will
find the rival signs Of Standard Oil and Shell.
THE worlds oil industry William P Rawless
il secretary Of the Mineral Inquiry, says is con-
oentrated primarily in the United States. secondariy
IN Russian and IN northern South America.
American capital controlled 70 per cent of the
worlds petroleum production in 1880 and II per cent
OF the worlds refining capacity.
The Royal Dutch Shell group controlled II per
OF the worlds petroleum production. In addi-
ton British interests controlled another per cent
Of the worlds production

Another 10 per cent Of the worlds output in 1880

the 100000 made available
by the recovery act and SUISSE
quent legislation for highway
work.
If a more ambitious program is
decided on this winter, data is
ready for quick action. The 1CC
has in it's files facts about every
grade crossing in the country. 1t
has final estimates on the cost OF
eliminating several thousand OF
them. The bureau of public roads
has been urging similar prepared
ness on the states, with consid-
cradle success.
If every crossing now listed
should be done away with the cost
would be something like thir-
teen billion dollars, but the men
working on the problem think this
is unnecessary. Hundreds of
crossings simply could be closed,
they believe, as where a dozen
streets in a town cross a railroad
track in the course of as many
blocks. Many other crossings are
on back roads serving only a
house or two and offering no
serious problem.

Republicans whose defeat is wide

Senator David Reed of PennSyl-

"Old Deal" boys, has stiff fight
on his hands.
Although a normal off-year re-
cession from the, party in power

of about fifty seats in the house,
they're not expecting that many

the present G. o. P. strength Of

Such a tremendous party vic

Democrats will gain at least four
seats in the Senate-giving them
two-thirds majority-if not six or
eight, in about thirty-six senate

Here's a birdseye view of some
of the most interesting and sig
nificant contests, the results of
which you'll want to check the day
after election:
Idealistic Sinclair, father and
champion of EPIC, who aston
iShed everybody by capturing the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of California, has been los
ing ground to Republican Gov
ernor Merriam since the states
business and financial interests
threw their full weight against
him.
Originally, every Californian with
$4,000 or more dived under the
bed. But they crawled out to
fight desperately to save Califor-
MIA from Communism" and Sim
clair was forced on the defensive.
The administration here has eau
tiously been playing both ends
against the middle.
Sinclair's strength is with CAL
ifornia jobless and he will lose if
his enemies succeed IN aligning
the bulk of those who have jobs
against those who don't.
In Wisconsin, Senator Bob and
Ex-Governor Phil La Toilette, sons
of "old Bob" are running on a
progressive platform markedly
more radical than the New Deal.
They are opposed by Democratic
Governor Albert G. Schmedeman,
who had a leg amputated during
his reelection campaign; Sena-
torisl non1inee John M Callahan,
an old nti-RooSevelt Democratic
leader, and couple of Repub-
licans.
Bob has the Roosevelt admins

Take for instance the case of
Harry S. Truman, Democratic
senatorial nominee in Missouri, a
sure winner Truman waged his
primary fight largely on his
promise to vote for the bonus,
is making it leading issue in his
election campaign.
One high New Deal official has
made a private check of the con-
greSSional lineup, and believes
that the bonusiteS will have ma
jority in both branches of the new
congress.
Such a situation would play
squarely into the hands of cur
rency inflationists, who have
made repeated efforts to tie up
the bonus and imitation in joint
