Secretary Fall Wants Equal
Opportunity for Ameri-

AIMS AT THE BRITISH
They Work American
Fields But Try to Keep
Other Fields Closed.

Washington. D. C.. Feb. 14. —First
steps to prevent foreign oil magnates
principally British however from en-
joying an equal opportunity in Amer-
ican oil fields while themselves work
ing constantly to prevent American
oil companies from obtaining equal
privileges in other parts of the world
have been taken by Secretary Fall of
the Interior Department operating
under existing laws and discretionary
powers.
Mr. Fall has served notice on the
Royal Dutch Shell group and theii
subsidiary companies in America to
appear before the Interior Depart-
ment on February 23 and has asked
the Federal Trade Commission to sit
with him in the hearings which arc
to determine whether the foreign com-
panics are denying reciprocity to
Americans.
This is the climax of the controver-
sy which has been going on ever since
the war to protect American rights
and to safeguard for the United
States not only its own supply but
sources of supply in other parts of
the world on which America mav
some day find itself dependent.
Want Equal Opportunity.
The Department of State has beer
waging a diplomatic battle for month*
to secure equal opportunity for Ameri-
can oil interest* in various part* of
the world and has been particularly
checked in trying to persuade the gov-
ernment of Holland to remove bar
riers in Dutch colonies where the
Royal Dutch Shell group has been
naturally endeavoring to keep out
competitors including Americans.
The mandated regions specified by the
treaty of Versailles especially Mesono
tainia. havn come in for numerou* di*-
cussions. The governments nf Great
Britain and the Netherlands have
made extensive argument pertaining
to nil development in India and the
Dutch East Indies and altogether th*
scramble for monopolistic rights hn*
given tlie American government a good
deni of concern.
The T’nited States Senate passed a
reanlution asking for information

on American territory. The Federal
Trade Commission in answering the
inquiry has given detailed information
showing that the Shell I nion com-
pany of Delaware control* about 240.-
950 acres of oil land*. 752 miles «(
trunk pipe lines five refineries and
about 3.5 per cent of the American
output.
Shall these foreign companies be
. permitted to operate on American
public lands and on Indian lands?
। That is the question which the In-
terior Department is trying to an
» swer. Congress in 1920 amemh'd the
mineral leasing laws for public lands
forbidding the acquisition of proper-
« tics by the nationals of any foreign
I country that denies n’cipno ty to
Americans What shall be done on
Indian lands is n discretionary mat
ter vested in the Secretary of the In-
! tcrior.
Have Enormous Holding*.
In other words there is sufficient
(leverage 10 make the foreign oil com-
panies sit up and take notice. Will
they influence their own governments
to extend reciprocity to American oil
. interests? The whole thing i* largely
* governmental. Although the Briti*h
government i* said to have sold its|
sharo in the Royal Dutch Shell
group the affinity between the pres-
ent owners ami the British govern-
ment is verv indeed. Great Bri-
। tain according to an announcement
lin Parliament owns 500.000.00 P
’ pounds of shares in the Anglo Persian
Oil company which has ambition*
’ plans in Asia Minor. The Royal
Dutch Shell company is said to be
the largest oil combination in the
i world with an estimated hold of 93
I per cent on the total area of oil pro
1 during lands on the earth’s surface
f There’s trouble between Great Bri-
: tain and Turkey over the Asia Minor
oil fields and concessions. The French
similarly have oil |X)ssessions in the
Near East. The oil supply in the
United States is con ide red by experts
• to bo of limited duration and there
■ has been a considerable controversy
I for the last two years as to how long
Mexico will be able to keep on pro-
? during oil.
Secretary Hoover ha* been urging
> American oil men to seek other oil
fields and develop them as a matter
of national patriotism. He has sug-
• gested that they pool together and
: buy potential oil resources in Central
and South America but in no case has
the United States even on the basis
of its close friendship with neighbor-
ing countries adopt p<l any policy
which interfered in the slightest with
the freedom nf opportunity of Euro-
pean governments or their nationals.
That’s why the demand for reciproc-
ity is growing stronger in government
circles every day. Mr. Fall’s move
has the b.-oling nf the administra-
tion and of a hyge number of mem-
bers of Congress who feel that Ameri-
can resources first of all should be

SPARKLER IGNITES

Girls Become Flaming
Torches Daring Mardi
Gras Celebration.
.Minden La. Feb. 14.—Ten young
girls pupils of the local high school
were burned severely last night when
a sparkler carried by one of the girls
in a Mardi Gras entertainment nt the
Civic Club ignited the girl’s flimsy
dress and spread to the raiment of '
the others while they were trying to I
save their companion.
The young girls appeared on the
stage dressed in filmy raiment as a
climax of the program each holding
a sparkler in hand. The sparks from
one of the sparklers ignited the dress
of Alma Sullivan. Her companions
immetliately came to her rescue only
to be flaming torches in a twinkling.
Panic-stricken the young girls ran
from the building by way of an exit ’
from the stage. Men followed caught .
them and boat out the flames but I
not before all of them hud been badly I
scorched by the fire. Some doctors I
fear mny die.
Practically no damage was done to 1
the building. A call was sent imme- I
diately to Shreveport for nurses and I
six or more left there Inte last night 1 1
to attend the injured girls. *
