S. The prospective decrease in
state relief requirements and an
anticipated increase in tax revenue
will produce a substantial operat-
ing surplus to be applied against
the depression-created state deficit.
Killion said that although all
forecasts are subject to modifica-
ton as result of changing inter-
national affairs, department of fin
ance officials engaged in preparing
the state budget for the next two
years are convinced that state fin
ances will show real improvement
in the coming year.
On the basis of data reported to
state agencies, Killion estimated
that salary and wage payments in
1910 were roughly four per cent
above the 1899 total, while a gain
of approximately 10 per cent in the
gross income of California farmers

lieve that improvement in such inn

Japanese Trying
Slick Trick With
Dutch.0il Supply
BY MILTON BRONNER

| NEh Service SLdII correspondent
So the Japs are going to give the
Dutch East Indies another chance
to cooperate"
A new japanese negotiator, for
mer foreign minister Kenkichi
YoshizaWa, is on his way to Ba-
tavia, and within the next few
days another long series of confer
ences will begin, the. purpose of
which will be to get for Japan a
larger share of the OIL rubber and
tin produced in the Indies. Partic-
ularly the oil. ,'
If new deal goes through, there
will be presented to the world two
more magnificent Inconsistencies of
war:
l. The Dutch, technically at war
with Germany, will be. selling to
Germany's ally. Japan. through
subsidiaries of the British Neither
lands controlled Shell oil interests
2. The United States. which has
government embargo against the
export of aviation gasoline to ia
pan, will be. indirectly producing
and distributing oil to the Japan
ese, through subsidiaries of the AM
erican controlled Standard and
Vacuum oil interests.
Behind these parodoxes is series
of intriguing but intricate romances
which have characterized the world
fight for Gil ever since the first
we'll was drilled. But it's all per-
fectly legal. and it works out like
this:
Existing trade treaties give Japan
100000 tons of oil annually from
Dutch wells. -Four companies han
die the deal, The producers are the
Koloniale standard -Vacuum) AND
Bataafshke (ShelD companies, op-
Grating In Borneo, Sumatra and
Java. The distributors are the Ris-
ing Sun Oil company (ShelD anc
the Standard-Vacuum company OF
Japan -..=
On form, it looks as if Standard
Vacuum were only half owned by
Standard Oil interests, the rest be-
longing to another concern-Socony
Vacuum. But the latter is also all
Standard Oil.
Net result, as far as Japan's oil
supply is concerned, is that Stan
dard'S Dutch East Indies produc-
ing company sells to Standards
Japanese oil distributing company.
which sells to Japan.
Similarly, the other Dutch East
Indies producer, Bataafshke, is con-
trolled by Dutch Shell and sells oil |
to the Rising Sun Petroleum CO.
N importer and distributor in ia
pan of Shell oil products.
The companies involved have |
acted under duress. |
There was always the threat of in
vasion of the Dutch East Isdies
and seizure of the wells.
From the Japanese standpoint, |
good has come out of the evil of |
the American embargo. From Yo-
kohama to California ports is about |
$500 miles. BIT it is only about |
5000 miles from Yokohama to
Palembang in the Dutch indies.
