BRITAIN TO LET U. S. IN ON OIL DEVELOPMENT Expected to Share Mesopotamian Field Development Is Statement. IN KINGDOM OF IRAK LONDON. March 21.—Great Britain is expected soon to give assurances of her willingness for .he United States to participate in the exploitation of the gigantic Mesopotamian oil fiields, it was learned In authoritative circles this afternoon. Mesopotamia war formerly a part of the urkish empire. Great Britain secured a mandate for the territory at the peace conference and it was generally understood the British were really after the great undeveloped oil fields. Later the British transformed the district into a kingdom with Emir Feisel on the throne. It is now known as the Kingdom of Irak. It is likely that if Britain gives America an opportunity to share in the rich unrleveloed petroleum fields of Mesopotamia, the Standard Oil Company will secure the coveted concessions. A. C. Bedford, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, Is in London at the pre-'enr time conferring with British officials and ufficers of the Ang'.o-Persian Oil Company, the British concern which controls the Turkish and Persian Oil fields. Mr. Bedford was scheduled to make an important address before the British Petroleum Institute tonight, hut suddenly cancelled the engagement. He explained that no significance was to be attached to his refusal and that the only reason for it was that he had not been given enough time. Mr. Bedford is seeking a working agreement between his company and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. From London he expeets to go to Paris aud Genoa.

SAY CONCESSION VICTORY FOR U. S. WASHINGTON, March 21—Great Britain's recognition of American rights In the Mesopotamian o\l fields represents a considerable diplomatic victory for the United States, officials said today, in commenting on the dspatch from London. There has been a long series of notes in this controversy, the latest of which was despatched onij last week by Secretary Hughes. The Eritisoh claimed monopolistic rights in th rich oil fields of Meeoporama under the mandate awarded by the League of Nations. In his memorable notes on this subject. Secretary of State Hughes established the principles of equal rights for all in mandated territory. Then the British claimed mopolistic rights under an alleged agreement entered into between the Turkish Petroleum Company, a British corporation, and the old Turkish government before the war. The American correspondence established the “agreement” as being merely an exchange of letters between the company and the Turkish government, in which no commitments had been made onelther side. The Standard Oil Company is keenly interested in the Mesopotamian fields. HERR WIEDFELDT IS ACCEPTABLE U. S. Approval Means Acceptance of Ambassadorship. BERLIN, March 21.

RELIEF FUND FOR EAST CUT DOWN Director Cables Many Menaced by Starvation.

NEW YORK, March 21—Thousands of refugees and deportees in the Near East are menaced by starvation as a result of the closing of general relief activities in several areas due to a 23 per cent curtailment of appropriations, H. C. Jaquith, overseas director of Near East Relief, cabled New Y'ork headquarters of that organization today. The few crumbs of food relief workers have been able to give these people are all that lias kept them alive, Jaquith said. There will be no more food supplies available until next harvest, he declared. According to officials of the organization here, the cut in the appropriations has b ;en forced by reduced relief avenues and an increased orphanage burden in the famine regions. Near East Relief is being forced to concentrate its efforts upon the care of the children, according to a statement issued by the heudquar ters of that organization. Reed to Run Again ST.

BREWER LAUDS SUPER-POWER STATION IDEA Tells Richmond Rotarians It’s Solution for State Needs. Special to The Times. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., March 21.—Cutting the cost of power by establishing central stations at which coal is used and then transport the energy thereby over wires was the theory which Joseph H. Brewer, president of the Indiana Electric Corporation, propounded before a meeting of the Rotary Club here today. Mr. Brewer said in Indiana there was no water power which could bo seriously considered as a sole means of furnishing energy and asserted that in Indiana the people depended on doal and ujion a super-power system and proposed the adoption of that method in this State. “Why not go ahead logically and construct super stations, set down at the pit mouth (of the mine), putting the cost of coal transport, the exingeneles of transportation, the uncertainty of delivery, the irregularities of mine supply and all the other difficulties of industry to one side, and substituting for them what seems to bo the logical conditions?” Mr. Brewer asked. He pointed out the Independability of mine production of energy with its tincertainties of obtaining cars, and strongly recommended as the one saving system the installation of the super-power stations. In summing up his talk, Mr. Brewer emphatically declared: "It is the natural development of the supply of electric energy from a single source of power. It promises cheaper methods of production, cheaper costs to industry, cheapened production, greater resultant consumption more business and more profits to every one, completing the cycle of industrial progress.”

‘VEST POCKET’ ARMY FORCES AGAIN VICTORS Reduction Advocates Win Another Point by Repulsing Attack. WASHINGTON, March 21.—" Little Army” advocates in the House triumphed once more today in their fight with Administration forces over the appropriation bill reducing the United States Army to 115,000 enlisted men. Represented by the powerful Appropriations Committee, they repulsed an attack of the House Military Affairs Committee which questioned the right of the Appropriations Committee to fix the size of the armed forces. President Harding may veto the Army bill, It was indicated at the White House, if Congress passes it with directions as to how the overseas troops of the United States shall be distributed. The bill cuts the Hawaiian and Philippine garrisons to mere skeleton organizations. Tii' l President considers, it was stated, officiary Congress has nothing to say about where the troops of the United States snail be stationed, as that power Is Invested in the President as Commau-der-ln-Chief of the Army and Navy.
