THE FAR-FLUNG OIL
LOBBY

To understand the qualifications
of the oil lobby, you have to re-
alize that it has two great goals
Arabian oil and tidelands oil.
These comprise the two greatest
untapped oil resources in the world.
1t isn't fair to put every Ameri-
can oil company in the lobby, be-
cause a lot of them only suffer
as a result of the bad publicity
stirred up by their competitors.
Actually. Standard Oil of Califor-
MIA and the Texas Oil Company are
the prime movers in the lobby, with
the Guaranty Trust Company and
some of the big bankers putting
up considerable amounts Of cash.
To understand one phase of how
the lobby works, you need only
call the roll of government Off
Gals who worked for the Arab
American Oil combine. Oilmen
were able to put their own Off
Gals inside the government, then
draw them out again almost at
will So it's easy to see how the
lobby operates with creased light
ming INSTRUMENTATION it be
Palestine or selling overpriced oil.
Here is list of key officials
who at one time or another work
i ed for both sides
/ Adm. Andrew F. Carter. head of
the Army-Navy Petroleum Board,
now with the American Arabian
oil combine. His brother, Adm
William j Carter, was in charge
Of naval purchase and ordered the
Arabian oil for which the Navy
paid s38000,o00 too much
James Duce, head of the for
eign division Of the Petroleum Ad-
ministfation for War. is now vice
president Of American Arabian oil
c. F. Snodgrass. served under
Duce in the government is now
with international Corp, employed
to build the Arabian pipeline.
Comdr Ralph Fowler OF the
Nays fuel division, participated
in the negotiations by which the
Navy purchased high-priced Arab
ian oil, is now employed by the
American-Arabian Oil Co.

the Army Navy Oil Board, goi

BATTLE OVER SYRUP

A small-scale battle similar to
the oleomargine feud is in the off,
lng-this time over maple syrup.
Vermonts conscientious Senator
George Aiken, who can detect pure
Vermont maple syrup from all the
synthetic substitutes. will crack
down on restaurants that offer
maple syrup on the menu, then
serve corn syrup instead.
Aiken has already consulted the
Food and Drug Administration
and the Federal Trade Commission.
He argues that if restaurants can
get away with passing off corn
syrup as maple syrup. they will
start substituting margarine for
butter as soon as the taxes on
yellow margarine are lifted.
Incidentally, Aiken is a powerful
member Of the Senate Agriculture
Committee which must pass on the
repeal OF margarine taxes. That
battle has only passed the House
is only half won.

Arabian oil to build its refinery
He now represents the combine
in Washington.
Franz Won Schilling was Middle
Eastern oil attache for the State
Department in Cairo, while on
leave from the oil combine. He
is now back with them.
j. Howard Marshall, general
counsel for the Petroleum Admin
istration for War, is attorney for
Standard Oil of California.
No matter how conscientious
some of these man may have been,
it is difficult for anyone to de-
termine the dividing line between
duty to his country and duty to
his company. Significantly, Ralph
Davies, deputy administrator of
the Petroleum Administration, lat
er lost out with Standard of Cali
fornia, reputedly because he favor
ed his country more than his
company.

The big question puzzling Alaskans now is, when
is the ice in the Tanana River at Nenana going
out?"
Perhaps as this is written the ice has gone out
because it went out on May at 40 pm. in 1896 Last
year it went out on May at 553 pm.

AIR FORCE WAITS
FOR TAFT

While Senator Robert Taft was
fighting for his political life in
Ohio. he still tried TO run the
Senate by long-distance telephone
He kept acting Senate leader
Kenneth Wherry constantly on the
end Of the wire, and insisted upon
holding up all controversial mes-
sures until he could get back and
pass en- them. AS result, the
Senate was forced 10 recess inter
mittently-despite the fact that
the Spring leg Jam Of bills was
worse than ever.
Al least one Republican, how
ever. Senator Styles Bridges Of
New Hampshire, refused to stop the
legislative wheels merely because
Taft was busy campaigning. Ignor-
ing the red light from Ohio, Bridges
hurried through with his vital ap-
preparation bill. granting funds to
expand the Air Force 70 70 groups.

But Taft got on the phone again,
and demanded that Wherry keep
the bill off the floor until the
Ohio primaries were over.
Its a policy matter and must
be decided by the policy commit

Obediently, "Taft's office boy
from Nebraska herded Bridges in
to a corner and asked him to hold
off a few days. The Senator from
New Hampshire objected, but
Wherry threatened to block the bill
on the floor.
So the U. S. Air Force, which

Peace in Norway
New York Tines


Eight years ago the Nazis invaded the peaceful
mountainous country of Norway and Herewith launch
ed the first of their great offensives in the West,
Today there is a further uneasiness in Norway as
Russia completes treaty of friendship with neigh
Dor Finland an honorable member of the Scandinavian
family
No people could love peace more passionately
than do the NCrwegians. history bears witness.
Even in April, 1910, Norway could have had peace
of kindly submitting to Hiter's unsavory demands
But to the sons and daughters of the Vikings the
price was too high because loved freedom,
democracy and justice above all else. So the Norwe-
gan folk stood up to fight the German transgressors
Today Norway lives in understanding with all nations
and I'VE expect and wish with all hearts to con-
tinue to do so. But" continues Ambassador de
Morgenstierne, eff that situation should change
God forbid-the Norwegian people will stand up
against any future aggressor. We shall fight with
everything we have preferring to die feet rather
than live knees"
The Norwegians know what freedom means be-
five long years they robbed of it. Even
today while the small Scandinavian nation lacks most
of the comforts and even necessities of life
Americans know them, the Norwegians are more than
willing to continue without them so long as they
have peace and independence.
