oil operators representing the
petroleum industry in all sec-

pointed by G. H, Vaughn of
Dallas, Chairman, and Glenn
McCarthy of Houston. CoGhair-
nian, to fight against the rati-
fication of the Anglo-American
petroleum treaty now before the
United States Senate. Chairman
G. H. Vaughn was asked by
Beauford Jester, Chairman of
the Railroad Commission of Tex-
as, to appoint a State wide
committee to oppose the Anglo-
'American treaty.
“This treaty, if enacted,
would establish a governmental
cartel which would do away
with the independent oil indus
try in Texas and throughout the
United States,” Mr. Vaughn
said in announcing his commit-
tee membership. "This treaty,
which seeks to divide up the oil
production and markets of the
world, would do the State of

independent oil operators. The
effect of the treaty would be
felt by our schools and colleges
and by those receiving old age
assistance, since the taxation of
oil affects these public funds.
“I regard this proposed trea-
ty as another step toward the
regimentation of this country
and1 the world, and a further loss
of the liberty guaranteeed us
by constitutional government. I
urge all Texas citizens to join
with us in opposing this attempt
to form a cartel in oil because,
