London. Many conservative statesmen
were of his view. And he presented the
persuasive argument that if the Germans
were not allowed to have Baku they
might we'll move in the drive to the East
to take Iraq and Iran. There were
stories at the time, with apparently some
foundation in fact, that at critical mo-
ment in the upward rise of the National
Socialist party Sir Henri made a gift of
100000 Dutch guilders, which kept the
party going. He later married a Ger
man wife and was reputed to have
voice in Nazi councils.
Although supported by some men of
influence, British statesmen could not
unite behind Sir Henris realistic" pol
icy. Nevertheless the big oil companies,
acting more or less in concert, sought
to keep Germany on an Oil quota. And
as the German rearmament effort gath
cred momentum under Hitler, the NaZis
necessarily sought supplementary
sources of oil for storage. Also, they
worked furiously to create plants for
making ersatz gasoline out of coal and

Nazis Got Some Mexican Oil.
In the files of every foreign Office, in
cluding the State Department here in
Washington, there is a great deal of ma
terial on the oil diplomacy of the '20s
and the 30s. Behind much of the Mex
lean intrigue involving W. R. Davis, in
dependent american oil operator. was
this struggle of the Nazis for oil for
their war machine. From Mexico they
did get relatively small supplementary
quantities outside the controls of the
major companies.
Mexican appropriation of British and
American properties caused deep concern
among oil executives. Standard Oil is
said to have sent an important executive
to Berlin to try to get assurances from
the Nazis that they would not buy this
stolen" oil. The prospect of an increase
in the German quota is said to have
been held out in return for good behavior
in a trying situation. Instead the Nazis
relied on Davis.
Now the Nazis are boasting of their
foresightednesS, insisting that if the
Iraq supply is cut off Britain would be
worse off for oil than Germany. One
thing the Germans have done Is to cut
down non-m military consumption almost
to zero. Gasoline can be obtained in
Germany today only for essential needs
transportation of food, /ambulances.
The situation in Iraq at the moment
is confused. There are indications. how
ever, that the Iraq uprking came too
soon to suit the Germans. They had
not yet been able to deal with Tur-
key in such a way as to get transit to
the scene of the British-Iraq war.
Therefore, if in the face of almost over
whelning transportation odds, the Brit
ish can move quickly and put down the
uprising, the damage may be restored.
The Iraqi can be ousted from control Of
the centers of oil production and per-
haps the supply of this essential stuff
may be kept flowing through the long
pipelines across the desert.

Italian officers among the
prisoners told their captors two

Concerning this yearly Birth

of other lands, we are forced to
