WILLIAMS ROASTS US Editor Star: Your editorial on the oil situation shows how little real information you} possess on the subject. When the last legislature was in s law on the statute books, but your ears were full of cotton. A blue sky law would have prevented this sort of wildcatting, but your silly editorials will not. The brightest, keenest crooks and criminals we have are the oil stock salesmen professionals. They know what they are doing, and how to do it. You do not know how to prevent it. They are turning your feeble and ignorant opposition to account by merely telling people that the Standard has subsidized you in order that it—the Standard —may keep all other operators out. The boobs believe the promoters because their story sounds so much more plausible. They know at least a little about the field conditions and you do not know even the direction, nor the distance of the Standard well from Moclips, to say nothing of the physi- cal and geological conditions of the field.
