SUPPLIES OF OIL
0 ! SAFEGUARDING BRITISH INTERESTS MR WILSON'S TONE RESENTED, (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) WASHINGTON, May 19. The British Government intends to safeguard British interests and accessibility to petroleum supplies, and is taking steps to make the army and navy independent of United State supplies in any future war. It regards Mr Wilson's report as anti-British in tone and unnecessarily theatrical, and characterises the Standard Oil Company's complaint as not fair play and peculiarly audacious from the viewpoint of the ruthless policy that company has pursued for 40 years.
