C. ‘Teagle,” president of the Standard Ol - Co. of New Jersey, sald in a statement | today that the sole purpose of discus- ! sions among petroleum leaders of the ‘Western Hemisphere concerning restric-. . tlon of production is to limit waste through uneconomic production. (His statement followed upon publica- Malil, which said that the world's oil “kings” expected to make arrangements at the annual meeting of the American petroleum institute here next week to enable them to cqptrol the output and price of gasoline throughout the world. Charges World Trust Aim. “The object of the confercace,” sald the Malil, “is to establish in fact, if not - 4 mame, a world oil trust.” The London paper said that this - Scheme had been made possible by a/| - competition of ch¥aply marketed oil from the confiscated oil fields of Rus- sia. Thé paper said it all began with a mysterious meeting in Scotiand last syear of Teagle, Sir John Cadman and | Sir Henry Deterding, head of the Royal Dutch Shell group oil companies, who | is to attend the institute meeting here. | Teagle sald jn his statement today| | i that it was reported to a general com- mittee representing producing com- panies which met in Houston, Tex., on ! March 15, that production in thie United ,‘ States for 1928 was more than ample | in all likelihood sufficient for the re- quirements of several years to come. “It would be disastrous,” he said, “to the public’s interest to allow overpro- duction to increase as in the past few years.” “Economists recognize,” he said, | evitable shortening of the life of our crude supplies and the waste of a valu- able natural resource at the expense of the next generation. This situation cannot be remedied if curtailment is limited to domestic producing areas. Crude oll is so easily transported that | any oversupply in foreign countries has | . the same effect on the world situation | as though obtained in the United States. Invite Sir Henry by Cable. “It is hoped, therefore, that whatever | co-operative plans may be adopted by * American_producers will not be ren- | dered ineffective by the policy followed | in’ foreign producing fields.” - | Since the Royal Dutch Shell com- | panies have a substantial production | here, he said, officials of the petroleum | institute and the chairman of the gen- | eral committee cabled an invitation to Sir Henry to attend next week's meet- | g It the general committee’s recom- mendation for restricting production to the 1928 basis is adopted by the direc- | tors of the institute it will be submitted to the Federal Oil Conservation Board, | and if approved by that body the State | authorities will be so advised and their co-operation requested. » ‘The meeting is to be held March 27. At that time the general committee, headed by R. C. Holmes, president of the Texas Corporation, will hear re- ports of regional committees of recep- tion of the curtailment proposal in their localities.

Tox CIVIL WAR STAGE REACHED IN CHINA Efforts to Cause War Lords to Recognize Central Gov- ernment Blamed. By the Assoclated Press. SHANGHALI, China, March 24—The breach within the Chinese revolutionary. forces growing out of the Hunan coup dletat in February had reached the stage of civil war today. Because of theWuhan-Nanking crisis, President Chiang Kai-Shek issued a manifesto to the Kuomintang Congress seeking to explain the government's position. “Some think the Hunan outbreak a regional affair,” the manifesto says. “They do not see that it is not an ac- cident, that its roots grow deep in the minds of insubordinate military leaders for whom the central government does not exist; who flout its orders, violate | its laws and disrupt the country’s unity. “If such actions pass unchallenged, ‘what is there to prevent others also set- ting aside high officials, seizing terri- tories and starting war at their pleas- ure? Offers No Compromise Terms, “Legally and factually in the “Hunan coup, the Wuhan leaders’ actiong gon- stituted defiance of the central gevern- tnlaem. dw.r.nyln; the “country’s unifica- on. *.* “We have followed a patient policy toward peace and reconstruction. They have dared mobilize troops and to in- augurate renewed civil wars. The cen- tral government does not seek to use force, Nowever, It offers no terms for compromise. The revolution is again endangered. We will do our best to maintain the central government's au- thority. If they continue to disobey the government's orders, then the gov- ernment will seek to carry out the man- date of the party and the people.” The new crisis came as the result of Nanking's efforts to make its authority real throughout the provinces and to force various war lords to recognize the central government. Nanking interprets the Hunan coup, in which Hankow and Canton leaders ousted Nanking offcials, as a refusal by the. Wuhan leaders to recognize Nanking. Forced to Use Every Means. As a result Nanking has been forced to use every means at its command to uphold its position as the central gov- ernment, for to do otherwise would be to admit the continued existence of the regional governments, ‘tantamount to admission of failure of the revolution- ary purpose of unifying the nation and establishing a central authority. The situation finds the armies of President Chiang Kal-Shek upholding Nanking while Wuhan forces are sup- porting the contention of Hankow that the central government is not author- ized to dominate provincial affairs. Hankow leaders are supported by the powerful Kwangsi clique which controls the South China government centering at Canton, and whose combined forces are known as the Kwangsi faction. Concentrate Forces. Ever ‘since the Hunan coupe d'efat both ' sides _ haye been centrating forces in fhe Yangtze Valley in the neighborhood ‘of Kiuklang, Kia and also on the Hunan-] in the neighborhood of a city on the railroad that runs north through Nanchang. Due to the stringent efforts of Nan- king to withhold news and its censor- ship of telegrams, it has been most dif- ficult to follow developments. It was believed, however, that Nan- had massed 150,000 men ‘while uation develops, the' Canton govern- to throw its resources to the support of Wuhan. Canton dispatches today said that, following upon receipts of the news of the breakdown of negotiations betweei |1 Wuhan and Nanking, Gov. Hwang Shac-Hsiung of Kwangsi ordered the mobilization of the South China forces preparatory to an advance toward Hunan. Feng Supports Nanking. Gén. ‘Feng' Yu-Fislan his support of Nanking, but recently he resigned as minister of war on the plea of 11l health and withdrew to his head- Ki, | bridg 00,000. If the sit- |are had avowed . I the event of hostilities, it won't last longer than two weeks, as Nanking will crush the Kwangsi clique easily.” Japanese reports from Hankow, one of the Wuhan cities, state that the op- ion generals are constructing a rfie-l(‘,ule system of trenches and are asking Wuhan merchants and bankers for a loan of $5,000,000 Mexican. Advices from Nanking said that the Kuomintang party Congress had adopt- ed a resolution granting the govern- ment the power “to do what it sees fit if the Hankow generals continue to dis- regard Nanking’'s orders.” )ponents of the measure said that if it were adopted it would mean war, but the measure was voted overwhelmingly. HARRIMIAN SEEKS - A FOR REFUGEES {Reporter Describes Plight of Tennessee Town After Flood Tragedy. BY KYLE C. MOORE, Associated Press Staff Correspondent. HARRIMAN, Tenn., March 23.—This little Roane County city, in the hill country of East Tennessee, tonight counted its death toll, already placed at a score, and at the same time began gathering funds to care for those made River. Hundreds of refugees, their homes and all of their belongings washed away, were huddled about the river banks after an all-day vigil, many watching for some signs of friend or family claimed by the swollen river. At noon the American Legion, & spe- | cial relief committee, and private ; cit- izens gathered the refugees at the Har- riman Fire Hall, where they were fed and housed. ‘With the approach of night the shiv- ering victims, clothed in garments given them by other citizens, made beds in the fire department. Many were taken into private homes and others were kept orders. Many Mothers With Babies. Mothers with babies in their arms seemed to constitute a majority of ths refugees. Some, saved at the cost of their husbands’ lives, were being com- forted by other women of the town who had given their services toward the flood relief work. A mass meeting was held during the morning, at which time $5,000 was raised to ald the flood sufferers and to con- tinue the search for bodies. ‘The high, swirling, debris-laden river prevented restuers from reaching homes located near the river banks, and with the cries of victims ringing loudly, they were forced to stand by and see the houses swept away. On the roofs of many of the houses mothers were seen frantically clinging to young children during the height of the angry avalanche. Awakened by the blowing of whistles in the factories near the river and by the sounding of the Fire Department gong and sirens, the Harriman mpull- tion was aroused about 3 a.m. in time for many to seize terror-stricken chil- dren and rush to safety.
