Washington, D. C., Dec. 23.—
The situation relative to extension o£
American aid toward a European
reparations settlement continued yes
terday to present a badly beclouded
picture, on mhich little light was
thrown any quarter.
American officials reiterated their
denials of government backing at the
present stage of the American com
mission plan sponsored by commercial
leaders, and of various published
statements regarding the direction In
which American opinion was tending.
llut there was no clear-cut denial
that high officials in Washington had
discussed the commission proposal
earnestly among temselves and with
others, and no one attempted to give
the impression that the United States
government would be displeased
should the negotiation result in an-
agreement.
In all of their negative comment on
the subject State Department authori
■med most anxious to deny that
the government itself, despite the
touch it is maintaining with
the situation was in any way a party
at the present time to the plan of
the Chamber of Commerce of th*
United States. It was said flatly that
— > the American government, at the
1 present stage of the discussions, has
no connection with the commission

SENATE COMMUTE FOR
1NVESUGAU0N OF PRICES
* Washington, D. C., Dec. 23.
Affairs of two oil companies—1
Prairie Oil and Gaa and the Standard
of New York—were delved into
yesterday by the Senate oil investiga-
tion, James E. O'Neill and H. C.
Folger, as the principal witnesses.
Inquiry into the identity of the
larger stockholders of the two ___
pursued at length through ; inder ~the"*skln"near left shoulder,
questions by Gilbert E. Rowe, attor* j gaId thtt , n hI> oplnIoil the negr0
ney for the committee, and brought rfled from the gun §bot woundl ,
from Mr. O’Neill that eight interests
owned thirty-seven per cent, of the
stock of this company, and from Mr.
Folger that four interests held ap
proximately 35 per cent of his co-
orporation's stock.
Mr. O’Neill gave the eight princi
pal stockholder! of the Pairie Oil and
Gas Company with the percentage of
their holdings to the total outstand
ing stock as Edward S. Harkness,
three per cent.; Northern Finance
Corporation, four per cent.; John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., 12 per cent; A. M.
Harkness, three per cent.; trustees of
the Henry H. Houston estate, a little
than one per cent.; General
Education Board, about eight per
cent.; LatTra Spellmen ''Rockefeller
Memorial, tWee per cent, and the
Rockefeller Institute of Medical Re-
seach four per cent.
Mr. O’Neill was questioned closely
by the committee attorney and also
by Chairman LaFollette as to the rea
son that prices for crude oil posted
in the mid-continent field by the five
leading buying companies had risen
and fallen almost simultaneously
during 1921 and 1922, but declared
that it could not be considered un
usual and was a natural process.
The Prairie Gas and Oil Company
president declared in the course of
nis testimony that production of
crude oil in the Tlnited States had
reached its peak and thaT within ten
years American refiners would be
forced to get" at least 50 per cent of
their supply from foreign countries
Cash dividends amounting to $85,-
050,000 and stock dividends of 400
per cent, on a capitalization of $75,-

added that during the same period his

plan, which contemplates creation of
n body of experts to inquire into the
ability of Germany to pay reparations
Furthermore, one official indicated
that if the commission plan ever
came to the point where a proposal
for its acceptance could be made
through diplomatic chanels, the Unit
ed States would not be the power to
make that proposal. It was pointed I
out that treaty rights are involved
in the reparations difference and
that no formal offer to mediate would
■ he in place from any government ex-
jeept on the solicitation of the govern
ments Involved in the controversy.
| As this commission plan now is ex-
'pinined here, the commission would
be a wholly unofficial body so far as
I the Washington government it con
cerned and would have only to do
iwith reporting its findings as to Ger-
ImanjN economic ability to pay. What
nctual figure would he fixed on a repa
I rations total would of eourse he a
.matter that the aTITcd governments
| must decide for themselves. But
■ with the economic report on Ger-
■ many available known to represent
I the views of industrial experts with
out any national bias, it haa been the
hope of sponsors of the American
commission plan that there coaid be
an estimate at to the amount of Ger
man payments which would finally
settle the question.
I The only inkling as to the hopes of
! the American government in its ef-
I forts to find a way to reparations
settlement waa a prediction made
The figures did not take account of
the stock dividend of 200 per cent,
cently declared and now being paid.
Mr. Folger denied that the Mag-
nolilia Petroleum Company was a
subsidiary of the Standard of New
York, but in response to question by
Mr. Roe said the Standard of New
York owned 825,000 sharea out of
he 1,100,000 shares of the Magnolia
oinpany, or 68 per cent.
He explained that the stock waa
mrchased by the Standard company
From himself and the late John D.
A rcii bold.
The committee at the conclusion
uf Mr. Folgert testimony adjourned
mtil after Christmas when it will
car certain experts of the Stihdkrd
of New York.
