BRITAIN AND OIL

LONDON, June 5.

Sir John Cadman, director of the petroleum executive, lecturing on the British empire's oil resources, dealt specifically with the question of | Mesopotamia, which he said, “offered great possibilities for the prospector.

Regarding the American impression that it was Britain's intention to attempt to corner the world's oil supply, he pointed out that it was not Britain's policy to exclude foreign participation in the British oil enterprise. Such like regulations were merely legitimate wartime measures. The British empire's contribution to the world's oil was large. We were not only the greatest producer but we were absorbing more and more of our own supply. Consequently it was increasingly difficult to supply this and other countries. It therefore behoved Britain, to find another source to supply her demands.
