The Struggle for Oil in the
Interest of Private Business
By SCOTT NEARING

There are no two opinions about
the Importance of petroleum in
modern economy. 1t supplies fuels,
lubricants and many other essen
tial products. The future of every
industrial nation is today closely
tied to the volume, cost and secur-
ity of its oil supply.
Petroleum is a matter of vital
concern to all of the peoples of the
world. 1t goes without saying,
therefore, that if any one nation
or combination of nations can
corner petroleum the possessors of
the monopoly will not only be able
to demand monopoly prices for the
product, but will be in a strategic
position to put both political and
economic pressures on non
posseSsors.
The petroleum problem is quite
like that of the person who owns
a we'll in a dry country. He can
not only sell his water, but he can
get pretty much what he. asks for
it, because without it his thirsty
fellow citizens would soon die.
This situation led, thousands of
years ago, to the establishment of
public water supply. There were
public wells in the countryside, and
when cities were built in the Nile
valley, Crete and on the Arabian
peninsula they were provided with
water works. Today the whole
world takes a public water supply
for granted.
Not so with petroleum. That is a
private affair.
On April 18 representatives OF
American and British petroleum
interests met in Washington to
plan the postwar world petroleum
cartel. On May 3 it was officially
announced that the meeting had
produced a set of principles to gov
ern the development and distribu-
ton of the worlds petroleum
Agreements were reached concern
ing the projected pipelines across
Arabia. The Soviet Union, second
largest oil producing country in
the world, was apparently moi
represented at the conference, but
the British and American govern.
ments were represented, and Sec
of State Cordell Hull publicly com.
mended the conference results. De.
tails of conference decisions were
not made public.

A Brewers Dreom.

Sometime ago, a large brewing company celebrated its birthday by
offering $4,000 in prizes for the best essay o postwar employment
problems Seventeen prizes were awarded, and of these, ten went to
government workers, including the first prize of $4,000.
First prize winner was a government economist, Herber Stein, who
IN lis essay, proposed to provide stable full employment by removing
some OF the basic uncertainties which repress private capital expen-
dture."
The winning plan talks of high level employment" but doesn't
even mention how that high level of employment would be obtainend.
The second prize winner, who got $4,000 for his efforts, was L. II.
keyserling, counsel for the National Housing Authority, and his plan,
a thorough reading, provides about IS much hope for the millions
working classes, as does STEMS masterpiece of inane nothingness.
Nothing was said about bread and butter, of hours and wages, of
control and needed goods to prevent initiation, of decent working con
ditions, of hospital and medical care at a minimum of cost. Nothing w
bone of America,
1t is worth repetition-not one single postwar plan has yet been
evolved which is worth the paper on which it has been written-The
Progressive Miner.

IN THE WIND
From FL NATION

We don't know whether to feel
flatiered or not by an essay in the
News Letter of the Bureau of Edu-
cational Research, Ohio State Uni
versity. The, twolfth- grade level of
reading ability, it says, lis probably
the level required to read The Ma
ton, the New Republic, (and) the
Foreign Policy Association re-
ports" That's the highest level it
mentions.
Here's one for Pegler: The Yugo-
slav Seamen's Club of New York
has offered to nan ships to carry
supplies to Tito without pay.
j. Alvarez del Vayo has been
voted the most popular speaker of
all those who have addressed the
weekly assemblies of Bryn Mavr
students this term.
From a letter in Yank, the army
weekly: Here is a question that
each Negro soldier is asking: What
is the Negro soldier fighting for?..
Myself and eigth other soldiers
were on our way from Camp Clai-
borne, La, to the hospital here at
Fort Huachuca. We had to lay over
until the next day for our train
The only place where we could be
served was at the lunchroom at the
railroad station, but of course we
had to go into the kitchen. But
that's not all: 1870 a.. m. about two
dozen German prisoners of war,
with two American guards, came to
the station. They entered the lunch
room, sat at the tables, had their
meals served, talked, smoked, in
fact, had quite a swell time Why
are they treated better than we are?
-. Some of the boys are saying that
you will not. print this letter. I'm
saying that you will"
The City-County Hospital for the
INDECENT at Forth Worth, Texas, has
a large inscription above its two
narrow entrances and the wide
space between them. The central
inscription reads: Erected for the
poor of Tarrant County without re
gard to race, creed, or color" At
either end, directly above the door
way, are the words white" and
"Colored'.
Festung Europa: A Norwegian
ferryman was arrested for selling
a German soldier a .child's ticket.
The sensitive Nazi officer who ar
rested him said it was an insult to
the uniform. At the trial the ferry
man replied that it was the rule to-
sell children's tickets to all passen-
gers below the age of sixteen and
that the soldier had given his age as
fourteen and a half -. They tell
this n in Vienna: The Fuhrer
died. AS the coffin was being lower
ed into the grave, it had to be
raised twenty times. There was SO
much applause.

THIS YEARS INCOME
PUT AT 154 BILLIONS

If the present scale of income
continues, Americans will pocket a
record $154, 600, 900, 900 this year
and will add nearly $42, 000, 600, 900
to the $4,000, 900, 900 they have
accumulated in savings in the last
three years, the Federal Reserve
Board declared recently.
Since Pearl Harbor,. the board
said, $14, 900, 0O0, 900 in additional
currency has been put into circula-
ton, and black market operations,
efforts to evade taxes and even
enemy agents were held respons-
ible for some of the demand for
cash.

Mexican Physicians and
Nurses Volunteer for
Service in JuqosIoyio

WASHINGTON.- The Mexican
paper Excelsior in an article on
May 22nd, as reported to the Owl,
said: "A group of Mexican doctors
and nurses. volunteers for frontline
service with Joseph Broz's (Tito's)
Jugoslav National Army of Liberia
ton, were honored during a troop
review held on May 21st at the
Chapultepec military base"
Addressing the volunteers and
his own troops, Gen. Augustin Mus
t~ielers, Commander of the Third
Infantry Division of the Mexican
Army, declared, according to the
article in the Excelsior, that 'the
J~ugoslav fight against the Germans
has a high value for all people"

WORKERS MUST GET
TIME OFF TO VOTE

War or no war, workers are going
to get a chance to vote in Novem-
Der. The War Production Board
will shortly call on employers to
give time off to their employees, re-
CARELESS of production problems.
Voting is viewed as a privilege
by the W.P.B ,contending sit marks
the difference between us and our
enemies"

Urges High Wages but Low Prices

"a much higher wage level than existed before the war can be
maintained as a permanent part of GU peacetime economy, and, despite
prophecies which are being made, there is no reason for a sharp increase
in postwar selling prices of most pre-War articles"
That's the verdict of McKinsey & Co., prominent New York man
agement consu1tants. AS to wages, they say:
1.-THE current high wage levels which prevail throughout industry
generally rest on the sound basis of increased man-hour output. In other
words, industrial workers in well-managed companies are paid ex-
tremely high hourly rates of pay because, in most cases, they # earning
them in terms of actual unit costs"
Of course, we can't agree that very many workers r. receiving
extremely high hourly rates of pay" They are getting more than they
received during the depression, but most fortunate of them need the in
come they are now receiving if they are to maintain anything like an
American standard of living.
But the principle, everything McKinsey & Co. says is undoubtedly
sound, and it is gratifying to find a concern close to Big Business giving
voice to such seniments-Labor.

DOLLARS
is TOTAL WAR COST

II the war continues a few years
longer, it will be necessary to cal
culate it's cost in light years. Up to
the present time all the belligerent
governments have spent almost a
trillion dollars, or more than twice
what the last war cost, according
to Roy F. Hendrickson, deputy di-
rector of the United Nations Re-
lief Administration.
One fifth of that sum, or about
5000, 600, 100000, has been spent or
obligated by the United States.

No Smell.
SnleIfania
Ghost CITY
BY Don GILES

Michigan s Smeltania, famous
rs the only city built on ice, will
-t1ca ghost Town this spring.
Gone, too. are the dozens of smelt
festivals, carnivalS and jamboreeS
that annually attracted thousands
of hardy anglers to northern
Michigan every spring.
The answer No smelt. And
where have they gone. No one,
including the best icthyologists IN
the country, can say.
a few smelt are present In
Crystal Lake. near Beulah, in
Benzie County, but no smelt runs
are anticipated this year, advises
Fred Westerman chief of the con-
servation departments fish divi-
sion.
Although ice fishermen are
catching one or two pounds a
week at Escanaba, they are get
ting none AT all in Lake Charlie
voix. where the fish were plentiful
until last year.
If Juvenile fish were not affected
by the plague which caused the
death OF adult Smelt and pre-
vented the run last spring for the
first time in 10 years, il is possible
for the species 10 become album
dant in the spring Of 1915, Wes-
teTman says.
ON the other hand If tho Young
fish were also killed, il will take
much longer period to build up
the species
