Mellon and Rockefeller Interests Ready Leading American oil interests are now taking steps to combat the British oil cartel of Sir Henri Deter- ding, through the organization of a national oil export organization which will control American petro- leum sales abroad and chiefly at| those points where the British and | United States interests clash. Several conferences have already been held and it is understood that the completion of the export organ- ization now only awaits the work- | ing out of some details. Leading | vil interests are participating in| these conferences and among those who will be included in the Ameri- tan cartel are the Standard Oil Com- panies of New Jersey, of New York, of California, of Indiana; the Atlan- tic Refining Company, Sun Oil Com- pany, Sinclair Consolidated Oil Cor- poration, Gulf Oil Corporation. \ Photo shows the huge Graf Zeppelin, hope of the German militaris: at Lakehurst. 5000 men tugged it to mooring mast.
