No further action will be taken by the State executive committee of the American Legion to discipline Commander Joseph B. Choate of the Southboro Legion Post for his recent attack on State Legion Commander Colonel Edward L. Logan.
The final chapter in the Choate Logan controversy ends with a report from the special executive committee. It deplores Choate's efforts to create dissension yet says further action beyond the censure already imposed is unnecessary. Colonel Logan issues a statement noting criticisms of the national executive committee and the Massachusetts department actions.
A speaker expresses unfamiliarity with Mr. Choate yet urges charity over exact justice in handling him, stating personal knowledge is limited but the ethical stance favors mercy. The remarks emphasize humane treatment and restraint in punishment.

At a Friends of Irish Freedom meeting in Lyceum Hall South Boston last night Thomas H. Mahony challenged Sir Auckland Geddes New York remarks on England s position in the oil industry. Mahony spoke against the claims and outlined his views on England influence.
Sir Auckland Geddes argues England cannot monopolize oil with America controlling about 70 percent of world output while England holds roughly 21 percent He warns future fleets and railways will demand large oil supplies and that US production may exhaust remaining domestic reserves by 1919 with 7 billion barrels left and a yearly draw of 400 million barrels.
Government geologists estimate that if the 1919 rate continues the present oil deposit will be exhausted in 1812 years. 1919 imports reached 46,820,980 barrels, with 1918 at 382,834,950. England is accused of monopolizing world oil through the Shell Group and Anglo-Persian holdings, with control over Pers ia Mesopotamia and Mexican mines shifting to British interests.
A city touring car used by Dr. Arthur J. White of the Consumptives Hospital, seized after a December 12, 1918 theft, has been recovered in New York. The vehicle was found by police in the possession of a naval aviator who bought it in good faith and now sues the seller.
