FORESEES WAR OVER OIL ROW Ludwell Denny Write* Book on Anglo-Ameri can Controversy BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN, United Press Correspondent. Washington. (UP)—War between the United States and Great Bri tain as a result of the world-wide struggle over petroleum reserves ‘ is probable,” according to “We Fight for Oil,” a book by Ludwell Denny, Washington journalist and petrole um authority. Thus far American oil interests have been beaten by their British rivals in the bitter and ominous race to gain control of the known oil supplies of the world, the writer says. The British government, aid ed by the London government, have obtained control of most of the oil fields outside of the United States. Denny, a former United Press correspondent and now on the edi torial staff of the Scripps-Howard Alliance, declares that a primary factor in America’s apparent defeat has been the wastage of petroleum reserves in the United States. This wastage, he asserts, has been partly due to the invasion of American fields by British companies, who, in their turn, refuse to let American ecmoanies enter British-controlled fields. Conservation of American oil sup plies. Denny insists, is being "blocked by $11,000,000,000 of priv ate capital controlling the indus , try.” The industry as a whole in this country refuses to submit to any sort of government regulation for the purpose of conserving American supplies even though American resources are fast run ning out and the day is approach ing when "we shall be dependent in sources." “OH Shortage Near" “An American oil shortage is near." the author warns, quoting the Coolidge conservation board. “What we have left is being wasted by competitive and predatory priv ate industry.” "We Fight for Oil” reviews con flict between the Royal Dutch Shell and other British forces, led by Sir Henri Deterding. and the American Standard Oil forces, led by the Rockefellers. These private interests are not alone concerned, the writer declares; "the British government is directly involved,” and "to meet the emergency the Washington gov ernment exerts a ‘strong’ policy.” Denny believes “the danger point will be reached when near-shortage drives prices upward, and American automobile owners are told the British have cornered most of the world supply. “What will happen when the en raged force of public opinion is added to the commercial motives of the oil companies and the defense incentives of the government?” he continues. “Then the Ku Kluxers and Mayor Thompsons may find a hate crusade crying for their ‘hun dred per cent.’ leadership. “War Is Probable” “The danger can not be removed by denying its existence. Peace can not be maintained by repealing the lie that ‘war between Great Britain and the United States is impossible.’ “War is possible. War is proba ble—unless the two empires seek through mutual sacrifices to recon cile their many conflicting inter ests.” In itself, “this oil war is not im portant,” according to the book. "It is significant only as a part of the larger struggle for world mastery between two great economic pm pires. Seen alone it seems fantr' I tie. impossible; against the back ground of the wirier conflict it ap pears tragically inevitable. There would be no serious oil war had not America suddenly grown into an empire threatening Great Britain's long commercial and naval suprem acy.” --—--♦ ♦-— NEW HOMESTEAD LAND Washington.

Stop watches, motor cars and air planes have only recently solved one of nuture's greatest mysteries—how fast a bird can fly. Through modern observations made from the swiftest vehicles on earth we know now that the bullet-like flight of swifts and swallows, and of them alone, can reach speeds of fifty to two hundred miles an hour—a mark to put all but the speediest airplanes to shame.
