Willkie and T. v. A. negotiators
will try to work out similar agree
ment covering Commonwealth g.
Southern's electric properties in

Brotherhood Blamed.
An oath-bound international Irish
secret society known as the Irish
Republican Brotherhood was be-
lieved by some investigators to be
providing the inspiration for the ter
rorism in an organized anti-Britisb
drive.
The brotherhood was formed in
1853 to unite Irishmen throughout
the world in a scheme to establish
an independent Irish republic
completely separated from Great
Britain.
The Irish Republican Army was
described as the brotherhood's active
weapon. The army is the outlawed,
extremist Irish nationalist organiza-
ton of which both the governments
of Ireland and Northern Ireland dis
approve strongly.
1t has an estimated 5000 members
in Britain, but its strength in Ire
land was not known.

and Northern Ireland, but his policy
is to achieve union by violent
means and has no sympathy with

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain,

Revolvers were issued to police in
Bristol after receipt of threat to
blow up big gasoline storage tanks
in that important west coast port.
Special guards were placed over

De Valera to send 1reland's Army to

Deterding
Continued From First Page)

not possibly keep him in school for
more than three years. II he could
finish four-year course he might
take bank examination and qualify
for a safe place. After counseling
with his mother. young Henri de-
cided to finish four-year course IN
three years. He succeeded, with his
mother at his elbow constantly, ana
got a bank job in 1882.
When bank promotions seemed
slow, it was his mother who prompt
ed Deterding to quit in 1888 and go
to the East Indies as clerk for the
Netherlands Trading Society.
Deterding's first job in his new
post was to untangle the accounts
of a trading station which the own
ers thought were in a hopeless mess
A year later, when he thought he
was worth more money than the
firm was willing to pay him, he quit
and joined the then tiny Royal
Dutch Petroleum Co. as an account
ant. In 10 years he was running
the business.
When J. B. A. Kessler invited
Deterding to take over the sales end
of Royal Dutch in 1890, Rockefeller
controlled the worlds oil markets
and cut prices against his competl-
tors until he put them out OF busi-
ness or absorbed them.
Deterding observed that most OF
Rockefeller's crude came from the
United States. Deterding decided to
control production nearer his large
markets and so went after the crude
oil in the East Indies and Caucasia
The Dutch genius organized the
East Indian producers on a CO.
operative basis. BY the time Rookie
feller began cutting Royal Dutch in
China, Deterding had so much cap
ital behind him that he invaded
New York and undercut Standard
Oil on its own ground.
The situation that eventuated in
Deterding's greatest power stemmed
from 1897, when the British govern
ment decided to change over its
navy from coal to fuel oil. Aided
by the British government. Marcus
Samuel and the Paris Rothschilds
got a concession in the Dutch East
Indies and the Shell Transport &
Trading Co. was floated.
Sought Tie to Shell Co.
Deterding Immediately saw the
possibilities and set out to tie Royal
Dutch and Shell together, the bet
ter to compete with Standard Oil
But Kessler, Deterdings superior
in Royal Dutch. baked at tieine
up solidly with the British and il
was not until his death In Decem-
ber, 1900. that the way opened fol
the combination.
The Asiatic Petroleum Co., owned
one-third each by Royal Dutch
Shell and the Rothschilds, was the
outcome in 1908 and by 1907 the
division of the oil world into two
main groups was generally recog-
nized.
In World War days Deterding
conceived the idea of ballastine
cargo boats with oil instead of water
1t was at a time when the storage
tanks of the British fleet were empty
and submarines were sinking tank
ers on every shore. Deterding'
idea broke the blockade. He was
knighted for his services in 1921.

'"The average daily number of
telephone conversations during the
year was 69,9O0,000, an increase of
about 100000 over 1887. While
there were about 1T per cent
more local conversations, there
were IA per cent fewer toll and
long distance conversations than
in the previous year At the end
of the year, however, the daily
number Of toll and long distance
