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.”

Stop watches, motor cars and air

fast a bird can fly. Through modern
observations made from the swiftest

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. Only
