Marc & S, ISTS ' Member, Associated Prese Membar Audit Bureau ClrculaUon fMmM EPLEY Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY CONCERN is steadily rising here over' tha danger of serious bird damage again to Klamath basin grain crops. Efforts of farmers to obtain ammunition for UM against the birds have -; brought litue resuu su m, v according to Information that was brought out in informal discussions at the time of the growers' meeting in Tulelake earlier this week. One farmer had applied for 6000 rounds of ammunition to fight off thousands of birds. H got 300 rounds, not enough to do any kind of job. Recent: applications, espec ially, have proved ineffective. Tha shells are simply not getting to the farm ers in necessary quantities, and the birds are already doing damage in the fields. The usual red tape is wound around the situation. County Agent C. A. Henderson this week appealed to regional fish and wildlife service officials to give the Klamath problem immediate consid eration. A lot of valuable wartime food,. Is at take, and bureaucratic delay can make a good deal of difference.

The necessity for using n Duce instead of : Mussolini in the fourth column bothers us a bit, but the thing Is ingenious, anyhow. Readers might clip it and keep it until September 7 . at 2 o'clock. Depends On Appointees THIS all depends on who Is appointed to the international oil commission and what It docs. Even the date for the appointment of the commission is left "to be agreed upon after each government shall hava notified the other of readiness." Our people are about ready now. Four government men are supposed to have been chosen to represent us, but their names remain to bo approved by Mr. Roosevelt. They say the new regime will start In a few weeks. What thev mean Is they hope so. , But, regardless Of all that, the commission can only recommend action to the governments and is "not empowered to take action itself. One phrase in the agreement certainly and definitely renounces cartels by companies, but what the governments will do is another mat- ,. loh ........... . . Lord Beaverbrook. the chief British negotia tor, has a reputation of being the hardest trader in British politics. However, our people think they were able to extract from him a renunciation of the endeared British Empire preference arrangement, whereby segments of the empire would get preferred buying arrange ments at British wells. Churchill Amends THIS' empire preference agreement caused -Churchill to amend even the Atlantic charter by making those freedoms subject "with due respect to existing arrangements," (the words he wrote in.) The earlier technical agree ment had preserved this preference treatment, but the wording of this abrogates that arrange- . ment. We surrendered in the negotiations on the point of allowing the agreement to be cancelled on three months' notice, in deference to the British desire to protect herself against un favorable trends in foreign .exchange. Also, therefore, there are grounds . for uncertainty as to how long it will last.- . Later, the commission is to try for an In ternational conference to get all nations in. It will not disturb existing oil holdings through out the world, largely controlled by British and Dutch. But on our side, it solidifies our hold on the fabulous Saudi Arabian fields where Standard of California and the Texas company claim to have proved reserves of 20,000,000,000 barrels ran amount equal to the reserves of the whole United States, in an area one-fifth as large as our country. The British went Into this new thing with us ' independently for two reasons. They have been Amuch disturbed by the aggressiveness of our oil'ecompanies in going out after new fields. The agreement tends to preserve their holdings . in-- status -quo," and .presumably, they will bring in the Dutch with - them, as their money is behind most Dutch holdings. - ApYto Conflict. hi A vise a lire 1 1 v tr 4 li ii 1 1 j iiiv n t rr j Br PAUL MALLOK . . - . WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 Behind the Anglo American ' agreement to renounce-, oil cartels in the post-war world, there stands' a line of question . marks as high as derricks, stretching as tar as tne eye can see. It was only another agree ment to agree. How much it will amount to also remains to be agreed upon. Indeed, to what extent, it will even break the international monopolies and cartels remains to be de cided. t , ' This has not yet been di vulged, but the -British want ed, for instance, to establish MALL ON t maximum production quotas for the various oil-producing areas of the ' world, and still want to. They took this posi tion in the earlier.- agreement at the expert . level, which is called the technical agreement of April 18 to May 3. Our position (which has been Inwardly guided by Ralph Davles, the -ex-California Standard Oil man, who is assistant to Oil Director Ickes) is that only minimum quotas should be fixed, end oil allowed to flow easier, and hence at easier prices. If the British have their way, the difference eeajweessaesseasssssi A ' SECOND reason Is that the Russian de velopments in the. Middle East are apt to come more and more in conflict with the prime .British interests there, Russia also is to be invited in when this bilateral agreement is ex tended multilaterally.: (a: la. Hull) in future months. . . '. ' ' " '. '' " ' "" ; "." American companies are supposed to be pre paring to move out in all world directions for . greater exploration activities after the war, in view of the oil needs not only Of the navy and shipping, but of our air transportation. AH. we have had in the Pacific area are three small " fields, not enough to begin to care for our future international peace or commercial obligations.- Also, it may be good policy for us to develop - foreign oil as much as we can and conserve our own limited supply. . But the main job of this promised interna tional 'commission will be to estimate product Hon' and- need throughout the world, thus to provide a full distribution to all. " The agreement, thus seeking a popularly ap proved objective, follows the line of most .post-war agreements we have made so far the food conference and world agriculture, the relief, .and rehabilitation Conference agreements, The world aviation . approach, and particularly the political agreements such as the Atlantic charter, Teheran, Moscow, etc. A set of broad laudatory objectives has been laid down. They constitute nothing more than aims. Whether they will be followed in fact, to what extent and how, is left to the future.
