P ( tt fy As far back as 1911, when Germany was challenging J Britain’s supremacy of the seas, Winston Churchill took a decisive step and ordered the conversion of \ zHn < J ] ' the British Fleet from coal to oil. To ensure a con- \ J JAR 6 stant flow of oil, both in war and in peace, Churchill l-rALJiIVJf A-,, persuaded the British Government to invest ‘‘ J /“ Z / AJZVLzASJ I £2,000,000 in the rich oil fields of Persia —then con- J® trolled by The Anglo Person Oil Company.

In his book "The World Crisis” he . sums up the success of his venture by saying, BiaL, ™ rewarded the continuous and steadfast j facing of these difficulties and ... brought us a prize |g£- £ ■' P » i from fairyland far beyond our brightest wjg v wfzJT - | i HI i wllo9HH>iiiW “Beyond the breakers was a GREAT HOPE . . -CHURCHILL.* y But this prize from fairyland was bigger than even Churchill | \\ imagined.
