MELLON IS FLAYED BY LA FOLLETTE Great Britain Must Make Concessions or Armament Meeting May Fail, Says London Times; Urge Policy Change LONDON, Nov. 5.—One danger to a final and satisfactory agreement at the approaching Washington conference lies in the present conflict of British and American interests in oil questions, says a lengthy article in the London Times. “It may fairly be advanced,” says the article, “if Great Britain is not prepared to make concessions on this vital ques- tion the conference is likely to break down." The writer advocates abandonment by the British government “of their present policy of participation fn oil Production and supply,” and adds that if the British government “rehotnces {ts control of the Anglo-Persian Oi! company and produces evidence of its complete dissociation from active par- Helpation in the oll industry ft can Yustly demand, whether in California er the Philippines, continuance of America's old and sound policy ‘of the open door.

MAIL ROBBER BINDS CLERKS ON SANTA FE KANSAS CITY, Nov. 5.—T masked robber trussed up seven mail clerks on Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe train No. 8, arriving here from California, today and escaped with two sacks of registered mail. According to the mail clerks, the masked mr entered the mall car shortly afte: it laft-Ottawa Junction, Kansas, 57 miles from Kansas City. The bandit covered the seven mail clerks with a pistol and then ordered one of the clerks to tie the other six with wire. When the six‘were bound to his satisfaction, the bandit tied up the seventh man, placed empty mail sacks over the heads of all seven clerks and tied the sacks securely. "The robbery was not discovered until » the train reached Kansas City when the seven mail clerks, still tied up and “hooded” with mail sacks, were dis- covered by postal employes. Two sucks of registered mail known to be in the car were missing.

That is the real cause of the bad feeling that exists between Ameri c@ and Greet ain on the ofl ques- tion, and that ts why the anxiety of the British admiralty for the security of of! supplies for the British fleet in time of wer, which at once is reason- able and genuine, has come into con. filct with the aqually reasonable.and genuine anxiety of the American oll men as to the future profits and pros- pects in the oll business Mm time of peace.” The article brands as a fallacy, “the axiom, so generally accepted that oil supplies are the ultimate basis of nav- al efficiency, adding that oll power depends upon sea power for every big nation except America “which is in the unique position of being, if not act. ually at present, yet potentially self. supporting in oil.* It asserts that the industrial and commercial control .of- the oll fields without wartime military or naval cessity of transportation. gustity expense involved. command.{s futile because of the ne.

A newspaper, in a way, is con- sidered tho same as a railroad, a pipeline, or a street car. All peo- ple who conduct themselves pro- perly are entitled to ride if they pay their fare. A newspaper that is so narrow that it fs afraid to ac. cept advertising copy from the op- position {s not worthy of the name of newspaper—it is simply a per- sonal,organ and the postal auth- orities will hold it responsible.

Mr. Giblin has received the same courteous. treatment in connection with the advertising he placed in the Tribune as has the American party. The Democratic party has always had access to the columns of the Tribune during the national campaigns. People who are afraid discussed in public or in print certainly show evidence of being weak sisters.
