THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Washington, O. C. C. S.-BRITISH OIL ACCORD This column, it should be noted in advance, is likely to be dull. But if you are interested in keeping your son or husband out of another war, it should be important. The United Spates and Great Brit ain are just concluding the first agreement aimed to remove the danger of war—an agreement on oil. Oil is one of the most ticklish eco nomic subjects in the world. Oil is what makes a nation’s battleships move, runs the automobiles, sends the planes into the air—in fact, spells the difference between a nation of strength or a nation which must bow to the whims of others. The present oil agreement seeks to set tle the battle for oil; eliminate one important cause of war. The last war was scarcely over when Great Britain began maneu vering to corner the oil supplies of the world. British leaders were quite frank about it. United States Protests. Finding itself in this position, the United States government jumped into the battle for oil with vigor. The secretary of state, Charles Evans Hughes, wrote a series of blunt, bare-faced notes to the British, want ing to know why they barred Ameri can oil companies from Palestine, since Palestine was not British but merely mandated to the British by the League. Meanwhile, the British, though barring the U. S. from their areas of interest, quietly invaded ours. They turned up with, concessions in Colombia, not far from the Panama Canal. Even in Panama proper, a British gold-mining company staked out a huge and suspicious claim in an area where no gold was known to exist. History Begins to Repeat. In World War II, history at first began to repeat. The five senators who toured the world war fronts came back with the story of how the U.S.A. was rapidly depleting her oil reserves while the British were hoarding theirs. They told how the British were trying to keep us from further developing oil resources in Arabia; how the British had a re finery on the Gulf of Persia, 50 per cent idle, while we shipped oil clear across the Atlantic to British armies in the Near East. Yes, it looked as if history would repeat. On last April 29, however, rep resentatives of the British and American governments negotiat ed an informal understanding aimed to eliminate the oil bat tles of the fotnre. It was an ex cellent, far-sighted agreement. And daring the last two weeks In Washington, Lord Beaverbrook and his associates have been ne gotiating with Secretaries Ickes and Hall to make this informal oil agreement formal and bind ing. This time, the British have been far more cooperative and far-sighted than in 1919 — with one possible exception. After U. S.-British experts laid their excellent April 29 ground work, Lord Beaverbrook kicked over the traces at some things, | and he seems to be keeping a more watchful eye on the inter ests of the empire than on a fair future peace. For instance, he has been insisting that Brit ain have the right to ban the sale of U. S. oil in England, de spite the fact that British Shell sells in this country. However, the basic agreement is truly en couraging when it comes to fu ture peace. Provisions of Agreement. It provides, first: “That petroleum shall be available in international trade to the nationals of all peace- loving countries in adequate volume, at fair prices and on an equitable and non-discriminatory basis.” This means that, if the U.S.A. runs out of oil or vice versa, it is up to Britain to help supply us un less, for example, one or the other attempts to conquer Ethiopia as Mus solini did, and the world peace-ma chinery countries attempt to cut off their oil as the League tried to do to Italy but, because of pressure from the big companies, could not do. The agreement also gives “equal opportunity” for “acquisition,” “de velopment,” etc., in areas under con cession. This eliminates cutthroat rivalry for new fields. Each nation is to respect the valid concessions of the other and its citizens. Finally, and very important, “ex ploration, development, operation of refineries and distribution shall not be hampered by restrictions imposed by either government or its nation als.” • • • MERRY-GO-ROUND C.

Among the thousands of refugees who landed at Hoboken, N. 1., to sjftnd the war’s duration in a camp In the U. S. was the family of Jacob Dresdner, shown after coming ashore. The family is composed of Jacob and his wife and their nine children, from Hungary. With the rest of the lucky thousand permitted entry under the President’s plan, they will be kept in Fort Ontario, near Oswego, N. Y., until the end of the war at which time they will be returned to their own countries. Insert shows how many of the refugees when forced to flee their homes tried to carry a few valuables with them. | Yanks Pass Through Periers The Anxious Seat i Yank column passes through the French town of Periers on their drive toward Paris and Berlin. The American tanks are shown as they pass through the ruins of this old French city, which was added to the list of captured towns. As was true in other French cities, the GIs were received with open arms by the citizens of Periers. Seated on the radiator of a jeep, this German sniper in civilian clothes is being driven to American headquarters after his capture near St. Saveur Lendelin. He looks a tri fle worried—and well he might. ler for escape, his few remaining havens are Japan—which won’t last long—and Argentina. ... It has long been rumored that the Nazi top men were building up cash re serves in Argentina. Panicky Nazis pour out of the conning tower to the deck of a sub marine blasted to the surface by depth charges planted by U. S. coast guard and navy destroyer escorts somewhere in the Atlantic. A few min- otes later the crippled U-boat plunged to the bottom of the sea. Twelve Nazis were picked up and became prisoners of war. A 26-year-old commander of a Nazi U-boat was captured after his ship was sunk by coast-guard- manned destroyer escort in the At lantic. He was a former Californian. Relea.nl by Western Newspaper Union. Two of the nation’s most widelj heralded civilian heavyweights were on display at Wrigley field in Chi cago a couple of weeks ago and proved one thing—there is no need for Sgt. Joe Louis, current custodian of the world’s championship, to f, into serious training for the defem of his title. The Chicago debacle saw Joe Baksi, a big, tough hulk, maul his way to a 10-round decision over Lee Savold, Paterson, N. J., heavyweight. The victory carried with it recognition of the Illinois Athletic commission as “duration'’ heavyweight cham pionship. That means until Louis, Conn, Pastor and the rest return. We had figured Savold to win. Not that we were particularly interested, but after all it was a fight sup posedly of some consequence in the current heavyweight picture. Inci dentally, that picture is dark, for bidding and not very interesting to see. Fighting Machine It wasn’t so long ago that Savold, the loser, looked like a fine fighting machine. But the machine appears to be quite well wom out. He had two good rounds against Baksi JOE LOUIS the fourth and fifth—but he wasn’t the same fighter who scored pre vious successes in Chicago against Nate Bolden, Lem Franklin (twice) and Lou Nova. Baksi is no graceful gazelle. He plods ahead with his pointed jaw stuck out belligerently and his huge hands flopping. But that jaw is fash ioned of granite and is impervious to blows that would wilt a man of lesser stamina. Savold was in bad shape much of the time, having been mauled in close about the head and kidneys. Baksi slammed lefts to the body and whisked short, right uppercuts across the chin. From the sixth round on the big Pole kept press ing his advantage, until, at the fin ish, Lee’s nose was bleeding and the left side of his body was the color of a boiled lobster. Even Hymie -Wiseman, Savold’s manager, couldn’t think of a thing to say in defense of his boy. “He looked like a preliminary boy. There can be no excuse except that he didn’t — or couldn’t — untrack him self. I swear that oh his gym show ing he looked unbeatable. He never was better.” Great Hearted He had one thing that reminded onlookers of the Savold of yesterday. He had the same heart that he did when he disposed of Bolden, Frank lin and Nova. When the last gong sounded there were many who in sisted that he had gone over the crest, and that from- now on his fights would continue to grow less effective. Perhaps the pace Lee has always maintained finally caught up with him, depriving his legs of speed and his fists of punch. Savold made no excuses. “I was in shape,” he said in his dressing room, “but the maritime service took some zip out of me. I can’t concentrate too much on my ring wars, especially when I’m training for a bigger battle.” The fight wasn’t a howling finan cial success, luring a $43,355 gross gate, which probabjy means the show was promoted at a deficit since the headliners took 60 per cent of the net. It also proved a bit boring to the assembled 16,135 spectators, 7,500 of them being uniformed serv icemen and women, who were Pro moter Jack Kearns’ guests. To be truthful, the customers, probably including Kearns’ nonpay ing guests, began to boo the action about the time of the seventh round and didn’t stop until the bout reached its somewhat inglorious end. Louis and Conn Perhaps we’re too critical, but there are only two contemporary heavyweights we’d travel any dis tance to see—Champion Joe Louis and Contender Billy Conn. Both men are real fighters. Both have the heart for it, the ability to fight and are capable of putting up a real show every time they step into the ring. In our book, Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis are the two greatest heavyweights of all time. Both men were dangerous from the start.

Origin of Pulp Paper When a young German paper maker, Gottfried Keller, kicked a. wasps’ nest on a walk through the woods in the 19th century, he was impressed by the nest’s tex ture, which was similar to rag paper produced at the mill where he worked. He showed it to a chemist friend, and the two concluded the. wasps made it from spruce tree fiber. They succeeded in making paper from wood, and thus the pulp paper industry was born.
