COMPETITION OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY.
-
The Annual General Meeting of the members of the above-named company was held on the 19th. ult. at Winchester House, Old Broad-street, under the pre- sidency of Sir Marcus Samuol, Bt., the chairman of the company.
The Chairman in the course of a lengthy address said:-When I last had the plea- sure of addressing you I informed you that un American company had deliber- ately set itself to destroy prices and had inade a dead set against Java. The words I then used were, With a view, no doubt, of bringing about the ruin of the Dutch companies trading there." The Standard Oil Company of America pursued the design, which I then de- scribed as "sinister," until the end of 1911. To coma immediately to the point, their policy, carried out over the entire domaia in which we trade, has resulted in receipts from our joint companics of £660,000 less for kerosene sold in 1011 than in the preceding year. A similar course was adopted with regard to petrol; and, notwithstanding that e duty of 3d per gallon was placed by the Government on petrol in England, the low price of la. per gallon, including the duty, was maintained up till December, 1011. We are, as you are aware, also producers of paraffin wax, but, in pro- portion to the Standard Oil Company, very small producers. The Standard Oil Company, lowered the price for this article throughout the world, except in the United States (which was, and re- The mains, one of our best markets). Standard Oil Company apparently pre- fer selling their production outside the United States, after paying freight on it, at lower prices than they can obtain in their home markets. In the result, after writing off the enormous sum of £822,000 for depreciation" (but which really
spent on capital account during the year), including the cost of the purchase

It had always been his intention first of all to consider all possible candidates. within the Service whenever a vacancy Wh occurred, and he hoped that assurance of his invariable habit would be satisfactory. He reminded the right hon. gentleman that during the years 1800 to 1908 Sir West Ridgeway, Sir Herbert Murray, Mr. Sterndale, and Sir Matthew Nathan, who wore outside the Service, were ap- pointed to Governorships, and he thought therefore the might ery quits on what he was not

We should probably have regarded the attack of the Standard Oil Company upon us with philosophical indifference had it not been that they are making a deliberate attempt to obtain à fouting in the Dutch East Indies. I make no apology for again quoting from the re- marks which I addressed to you on June 14th, 1911. After referring to the dead set made against the Dutch companies in Java, I stated that it has always been the policy of the Roy Dutch Company and ourselves to assiet other companies not quite so fortunately placed. I expressed the firm belief that the Dutch Govern- ment would approve of our action in taking all the Dutch producers under or wing and in warding off the dange (which applied to all Dutch producers) of unfair competition. I announced that with this in mind we had come to the rescue of the Dordtsche Petroleum Com [pany, The Dutch figure-heads, which the Standard Oil Company have put forward as representing them in Holland, have attempted to make out a case-firstly. that the Royal Dutch are not a bona fide Dutch company controlled and managed by: Dutchmen, and, accondly, that the shares are not held in Holland. The first point scarcely needs refutation. It was laid down as a fundamental principle in the association of the Shell and the Royal Dutch Companies that the Dutch should have the control, seeing that all our oil-producing territories at that time were situated in the Dutch Indies, and that 00 per cent. of the shares are held by the Dutch interests against 40 per otherwise have been misled by the phrase
