SAYS U. S. OIL EMBARGO WILL LOSE MARKET British Producer Discusses Question Raised by Mesopotamia Deal. FRIENDLY END IS SEEN LONDON, Feb. 5. —An embargo against exportation ot American oil to Great Britain probably would mean permanent Ices of that market to American producers, Sir Charles Greenway, chairman of the Anglo-Persian OU Company declared today. At the same time Greenway expressed the belief that "the oil problems" between the two countries "would be amicably settled.” The article was prepared with special reference to the Mesopotamian oil controversy which has become one of the most important phases In the struggle between American and British Interests for petroleum supremacy. The American Government protested against the terms of the British mandate over Mesopotamia, maintaining that the "open door” principle must be upheld there and Intimating that an American oil embargo might be employed if necessary. The head of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which is controlled by the British government, was asked to present the British viewpoint. By SIR' CHARLES GREEK WAY, LONDON, Feb. 5.—1 am surprised and regret that what is purely a business matter should have been brought into the domain of political agitation. “There is no ‘closed door’ in Mesopotamia. There never has been. All we ask Is that the concessions acquired legally and In good faith from the Turkish Government should be respected just as the Standard OU Company expects the same sort of recognition for similar concessions It presumably has obtained from the Turks in Palestine. “Ono unfortunate aspect of the political agitation over Mesopotamia has been an exaggerated Idea of the potentialities of the oil fields. There is oil in Mesopotamia, but it is not a petroleum Eldorndo, inasmuch as the great bulk of the oil bearing fields of the region He on the Persian side of the frontier. CITES EFFECT OF EMBARGO. “I feel sure that responsible American opinion wIU not countenance application of an oil embargo against a friendly nation. For one thing It would be bad business to cut off one of the best markets for American oil products, especially now that there is a marked over-produc-tion In the United States. Besides one of the chief effects of such a measure would be to force England, in seltdefense, to make every effort to make herself Independent of American oil, which probably would mean a permanent loss of this market to American producers. “But I cannot believe an embargo ever j would be enforced. There Is no reason why aU our oil problems should not be amicably settled. Important as they are. j they cannot be allowed to disturb the relations of two great nations whose j friendship means so mnch to the whole . world.” CITY OUTGROWS •MUG’ CABINET Purchasing Agent to Improve Rogue's Gallery. Indianapolis has outgrown her rogue’s gallery. City Purchasing Agent Dwight S. Rlt- ! ter Is collecting data on the cost and style* of cabinets for filing pictures and descriptions of criminals. The old wooden cabinet In which such information Is stored at police headquarters is both out of date and worn out, he said. A decrease of 4 cents a gallon In the price the city pays for gasoline was reported by Mr. Ritter. Several weeks ago ! the price was 28 3-10 cents and now the ! city pays 24 3-10 cents.

Mr. Ritter will discuss “City Purchas j lng" before the Ktwanis Club of Benton ! Harbor at a luncheon Monday.

Stock Salesmen Need Only State License Stock and securities salesmen in Indiana who hare been licensed by the Indiana securities commission are not required to obtain licenses from municipalities and dare not subject to prosecution by cities, when they operate without a city license, according to an opinion given today by Ulysses S.

It is understood that a salesman, licensed by th* State commission, had been arrested for selling stock without first obtain.ng a license to do so from the city. The opinion of the attorney general is that the State license tukss precedence over any municipal license and that any prosecution started against the salesman is void.

HOLDS BRITISH FLIERS COULD DESTROY NAVY Gen. Mitchell Warns House Committee U. S. Is Open to Air Attack. ASKS DIRIGIBLE FORCE WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—“ England could wipe out the American Navy with its air force,” Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the Army Air Service, today told the House Naval Affair* Committee. “Eugland Is going stronger on her development of aircraft,” he said. “We can't learn anything about her construction of airships, but we know she Is spending much money and making great strides in aircraft development. Our aircraft strength must be superior or we will be shot out of the water.” The United States would be unable to prevent an aerial attack on this country by England, he said. Mitchell advocated construction of plane-carrying ships so that every fleet will control the air wherever it goes. A force of dirigibles to operate at altitudes of about six miles Is one of the outstanding features of the aviation program which Army air officials are now urging upon Congress to substitute for continued huge expenditure* for battleships. Brig. Gen. William Mitchell of the Army Air Service said. The purchase of the second largest semi rigid airship In the world, the Roma, from Italy, was largely for the purpose of making experiments at altitudes of about 39,000 feet. Previously these heights have been reached by air planes only in few flights, made in special planes in attempts to set new ree erds.

“Airships capable of flying at such altitudes must be equipped with electrical devices for heating the engines, ” said Mitchell. "Crews can be protected with electrically heated garments and It Is not difficult to artunge instruments for supplying them with oxygen In the rarlfied atmosphere. “The army Is conducting experiments along this line at the present time and no dobut some of them will be made on the Kornu.” DAM ELS XOT EXCITED OVER SIMS’ VIEWS WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.

SOUTH AFRICA MAY DISCLAIM BRITISH RULE Nationalists, Led by General Herzog, Declare for Complete Independence. ELECTION LINES DRAWN LONDON, Feb. s.—Whether the Union j of South Africa will remain an Integral i part of the British empire or secede and become a self-governing republic la the momentous outcome which hinges on tha general elections wnlch will take place in South Africa next Tuesday. Official circles are following tha dra- : matlc electoral struggle with Intense lu- i terest and the colonial office frankly admits that the retention of the Union of South Africa in the British empire la more seriously menaced than ever before. ; even in the days of tho Boer war. The chief contending parties are: Nationalist*, led by General Herzog, who desires complete Independence for South Africa. SMUTS LEADS IMPERIALISTS. Imperialists, led by Gen. Jan. Christian Smut*, who desire to remain as an Integral part of the British empire. Both sides claim victory. General Herzog says he Is confident that the nationalists will have a "safe majority” In the national Legislature, while General Smuts Is more specific, claiming a majority of at least twenty seats Dispatches from Capetown and Pretoria say that the campaign is being waged with unprecedented virulence. Secessionist feeling has been lashed to fury, especially among the farmer classes. Many African farmers have never forgiven England for smashing the Bot-r republic. Nationalist orators are making fiery speeches denouncing the British “for causing the deaths of thousands of women and children in detention camps during the Boor war."

If th* nationalists get control of the Governmen tthey will refuse to send a delegate to London to attend the Imperial conference In June. “This," added General Beyers, “would be the first step In sundering all ties binding the union of South Africa with the British empire.” The solidarity of the British empire i* more seriously menaced now than at sny other time In its history with secession movements under way In four countries. The countries, which are seeking to break the bonds with the British empire and become Independent republics, are Bouth Africa, India, Egypt and Ireland. COLUMBUS MURDER TRIAL SET. COLUMBUS.
