...John L. Lewis this was all a very serious matter, for U. A. W. has every sign of being C. I. O.'s soundest long-term asset. Unlike mining, steel, oil, textiles, the motor industry has still a big enough margin of profit to make auto unions as well as auto manufacturers economically powerful. If U. A. W. can expand into aviation, glass, rubber, as John Lewis hopes, it will add still further to its power. Given leadership, U. A. W. might gain a dominance like that of the railroad brotherhoods in Labor's last generation...
...Britain that fatwa was potentially a more serious matter than any ten or twelve riots in Palestine. For it meant that a contagious form of disturbance had escaped from quarantine in Palestine. Iraq, with the oil fields of Mosul and Kirkuk, is definitely a British sphere of influence, and beyond it lie other British areas with large Moslem populations, subject to the same contagion...

After spending $250,000 drilling for oil in England, Anglo-American Oil Co., Ltd. recently opened a promising field at Dalkeith, ten miles from Edinburgh. Last week Anglo-American made its first shipment (2,000 gal.) from Dalkeith to its refinery at Purfleet on the Thames. It took the biggest "shot" ever exploded in the British Isles, over 500 lb. of gelatinous nitroglycerin, to bring in the new Scottish field. Result was the biggest yield of oil thus far struck in the British Isles; at 750 feet the yield of one well is a modest 10 bbl. a day. Usable...
