Abstract
MR. SYDNEY BROOKS contributes to the Fortnightly Review for September i an article entitled “A British Oil Victory,” from which the reader might at first infer the discovery of a large British oilfield or at least a sudden remarkable flow from the Hardstoft well in Derbyshire. Nothing quite so startling has happened, however; Mr. Brooks's “victory” is of a far less sensational character, being, in fact, the opening of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company's refinery at Llandarcy, Swansea. The author regards this event as the pièce de résistance of a series of British achievements in the “international war of industry,” and mentions in the same breath the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal Oil-Dock, the discovery of oil in Papua, arid the securing by a British Company of the oil rights of Macedonia.
