EMPIRE OIL
TRIBUTE TO ENTERPRISING BRITONS CONTROL OF ANGLO-PERSIAN COMPANY (Received Jan. 19, 9.20 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 19. Sir John Cadman, speaking on “Oil from the Empire Viewpoint” at a luncheon of tlie Royal Colonial Institute, lamented the fact that only two per cent, of the world’s oil supplies came from within the Empire, “but”, he said, “these natural deficiencies are counter-balanced by the enterprise of the Empire’s sons. Public opinion in future will applaud the foresight and statesmanship which, finding Britain’s supplies of oil dangerously small, has not hesitated to take a hand in the great centre of supply and secure control of the Anglo-Persian company.” He emphasised the point that this was purely a commercial undertaking.
