Oil Imperialism
NEW YORK, March 18-Tying his objections to his own experiences as secretary of state, Bainbridge Colby, who held that office under President Woodrow Wilson, today assailed our government's Middle East oll venture in an exclusive interview. It was Secretary of State Colby who first officially outlifed America’s foreign policy in the field of oil. And his action pertained to the same area as our government's new policy of participation in oil production and marketing cartels abroad. Shunning these like pois on, the then secretary of state fought for, obtained and established America's “Open Door” policy on Middle East oil. He did so in obtaining for the American ofl industry the opportunity for equal participation with British companies and the British government in Iraq on a non-government basis, “Contrary to the ‘Open Door’ policy, this proposed government adventure is the most imperialistic ever undertaken by the United States,” said Mr. Colby. “It such policies are pursued in oil and other fields our country appears committed definitely to future wars in bewildering places and to constant maintenance of American armed forces all over the world.
‘Capricious Charade’
“FROM MY OWN experience with governments abroad, our government should not engage in oil operations in Iraq, Kuweit, Bahrein, Palestine, Saudi Arabia or anyplace else by itself or as a partner of other nations. Such government intrusion despite the limited territorial history of the Anglo-Iranian and Compagnie Francaise has for years been looked upon with special hostility by many smaller nations. “And wherever it occurs it is noticed particularly by Latin American countries, Laws of Venezuela,

HU. 2828. Press Gets Evicted
NEWSPAPERMEN covering the city hall were the first victims of the efficiency campaign just started by the J. L. Jacobs & Co., Chicago, efficiency experts. The first thing repreSentatives of the company did when they arrived to start streamlining the municipal jobs setup was to take over the city hall press room, evicting the press. Speaking of efficiency, the company’s representatives have their campaign worked out to a gnat's heel—even down to publicity. They can tell you just when certain stories will break. For instance, they predict “you'll have a front page story about two months on the classification of jobs, June you'll devote most of the pay scale changes.” . .. Our

Colombia and Mexico, for .example, forbid such action. And yet we say we want South America's good will. It ail seems like a capricious charade at the highest levels in our government. “In case of partnership of the United States government with any foreign state, the relations bétween the American government, the other government partners and the country they enter must become strained. Our government's relations cannot long stand on a natural basis of friendliness, mutual respect and good will.

‘Inexcusable Abuse’
“There will be constant opportunities for disagreements as to whether all the terms of the concessions are being completely fulfilled, and constant bargaining about correct royalty payments, taxes, labor observances, etc. The whole atmosphere is one to encourage bad feelings and hatreds among government partners and peoples instead of encouraging trust, confidence, good will and friendliness in inter“Common sense has apparently taken a holiday from the White House in this matter, as though the American govermment did not have enough troubles without abandoning the ‘Open Door’ policy in the Middle East and recklessly and uselessly going into the international oil business with Great Britain because we have not sense enough and independence enough to stand clear. “That is not the way to keep our British friends. Or our Russian friends. Improvidence on such a scale in the international field is the surest way I know to make enemies everywhere and not keep any post-war friends. The exaggerated internationalism this represents is just as dangerdii§ for America as narrow isolationism. Sanctioning such policies under war powers when not really ‘part of the war effort is an inexcusable abuse of the nation’s trust.”

picture of the draft situation as of today: The government is going to dip heavily into the ranks of the 348,000 men who have occupational deferments, who are under 26 and who are non-fathers. At the same time, to meet the insistent and growing manpower needs of the armed services, older men and fathers will be used to bridge the remaining gap between supply and demand. ;
¥F. D. R. Cites Examples
At the same time, the President made it plain that the truly essential industrial specialists under 26 will continue to be deferred. He posed the examples of an engineer engaged in some highly special project and a young chemist who has been working on some particular research vital to the war effort. : He added quickly, however, that the percentages of fruly essential workers under 26 was relatively very small, and that the bulk of the men under 26 were now more needed by the army than in their industrial jobs. = Told that the war production board had estimated the number of under-26s who could not be spared from the home front at 40,000, Mr. Roosevelt then was asked how this figure stood up in his compilations. He shot back: What are we going to do—lose on the battlefront or

at home? You can’t, he continued, send people overseas who are not in good physical shape. 1,160,000 Men Needed At first glance this seemed to in= dicate that there will be a cessation in the drafting of persons over 26. This, however, was not the case, because selective service has said it will need 1,160,000 new men between Feb. 1 and June 30 of this year. Thus the bulk of this demand for fighting men must actually come from the ranks of youths reaching 18 and the class of older men and fathers. Mr. Roosevelt, obviously plagued by the growing manpower crisis, planned to spend today and Sunday in close, personal examination of the problem. He said he hoped to have something to say on the situation—probably new orders reinforcing the “accent on youth” policy—early next week. ~ \
