I t C~V~IORE than two world wars ago Winston $ I i I Ik j f Churchill set in motion one of the most I, _ J MinfLl {_lMrJjisuccessful enterprises in his long and glor- a A I s -HzEW '' ‘U? ious career. He gave Britain oil! ' ' I .I* 3 l«» ~7^/ 7.'7' : zD., As far back as 1911, when Germany was challenging J ''././< Z Britain’s supremacy of the seas, Winston Churchill took a decisive step and ordered the conversion of . | I > | the British Fleet from coal to oil. To ensure a con- \ AIR j jF) R d stant flow of oil, both in war and in peace, Churchill a persuaded the British Government to invest L ''RZTR/,/' /: / 7'ZWZJL£2,000,000 in the rich oil fields of Persia—then con- - ~~ trolled by The Anglo Persian Oil Company. “Beyond the breakers was a great hope”, said Churchill — a hope founded on faith in the British Navy and the IIM wl I power of oil. In his book "The World Crisis” he sums up the success of his venture by saying, I 'wi L———~ “Fortune rewarded the continuous and steadfast / facing of these difficulties and ... brought us a prize . Sri s fo i from fairyland far beyond our brightest Wf | W’*""" lil l J JFlISit ,'"’’l JIM I ■ IMafez W “Beyond the breakers was a GREAT HOPE . . -CHURCHILL. \\ But this prize from fairyland was bigger than even Churchill H imagined. From the British Government’s investment of B £2,000,000 in the Persian oil fields it has been claimed that the B \ I mighty fleets laid down in 1912, 1913 and 1914 — the greatest % \ ' ever by any Power in an equal period — were added to % \ IO ® x // the British Navy without costing a single penny to the taxpayer.
