I’d Like
to Know...
You may ha ve hea rd that
a suit has been hied by
the Antitrust Division in
Washington to break up
Standard of California as
well as six other West
Coast oil companies.
Many people have writ
ten us protesting this
action, have asked per
tinent questions. We be
lieve these questions
should be answered for
everyone. We take this
way of doing so. If you
have a question, write:
“I’d Like to Know”

“Would breaking up j oil cc:

i r^ucnal defense?”
r.!rs. IWar ’ cn?!se »,uer, Pasadena housewife, writes: It seems to me like a
bud time to oe tampei mg with our industries, as the antitrust lawyers want to do.
Or does it matter? Would breaking up big oil
companies affect national defense?”
Here at Standard, one ofthe seven West
ern oil companies under attack, we see
clear public benefit in having big com
panies in the business at all times. We
believe we serve you well. But let’s con
sider now just “bigness’’ and defense:
Today, military needs come
first. Just recently, need for
aviation gasolines jumped
275% in the West alone. Big
oil companies supplied it.
For hard jobs, the U. S. uses
our bigness and integration.
Today, our U. S. projects in
clude atomic research and a
synthetic rubber plant.
Next: industry’s demands.
You know how industrial
output keyed U.S. strength
in World War II. It takes big
companies to meet big needs.
Our taxes also aid defense.
As one big company, we paid
over $95,000,000 last year,
more than we would pay as
several smaller companies.
Company bigness also means
big-scale research, improved
products. Example: oils de
veloped by Standard whack
tripled range of U. S. subs.
Meanwhile, bigness and mte
gration enable us to keep mm
supplying products you need.
Isn’t this what you wantttmm.
your oil company?
