NO OUTSIDE SUPPLIES NEEDED,
ANGLO-PERSIAN OUTPUT.
(Received 10.30 a.m.)
LONDON, May 23.
The "Sunday Express" states that the contract whereby the Anglo-Persian Oil Company markets its output through the RoyaL Dutch Shell Combine expires in 1922. Thereafter the Anglo-Persian Company, owing to its far-seeing management, will be able 'to . supply the British Empire with its entire requirements -of petrol, and .by 1924 will compete in all the world's markets against the Royal Dutch Shell and Standard Oil Companiay. This explains the Royal Dutch Company's efforts to secure the control of the Mesopotamian oilfields, by which they 'hoped to force the AngloPersian Company to renew the existing contract.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
