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.”

the real low-down on why the Turks

because Hitler had moved troops out

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.
