U.S.A,
Dear Mr. Taylor,

} Mr Sanders referred your letter dated January 31,

1965 regarding detailed plans and proposals for increased activity
in Pago, Pago, American Samoa, to Mr, F.K, Cadwell,

Pago, Pago, American Samoa

Mr. Cadwell has been on a rather extensive
business trip throughout the Far East and London and because of
thie your letter as well a3 Mr. Sanders! letter, arrived after his
departure,

lam very confident that Mr, Cadwell is going to
be extremely appreciative of the opportunity to work with you and
Mr. Turnbull or, the possibility of constructing bulk petroleum
facilities in Samoa, He has shown a keen interest and shares your
optimiem that there will be a tremendous economic growth in this
area, We made a serious attempt two years ago to construct
similar facilities in Tahiti and although our propocalwasthe most
favourable to the Government we could nut seem to secure the final
approval from the French Government in Paris,

Your interest on our behalf in offering to assist us
with the Government of American Samoa in nego.iating a longterm

land lease as well as putting us in contact with competent local

operators is most appreciated.

Dear Jip: ;

Received your letter of April 17, 1963 in Pago for which many thanks.

f
The of this letter is to correct a rumor that Ron Pritchard
may included in his letter to you. The Governor's answer to
the monopolistic outlet of Standard 011 is Union Oil Company. If
Unoco or Union decide to como to there vould be no reason for
the xe to inotell tanks = cneee own end oo —y A
on sequirezents. Evidently, ® rumor emenc rca man
who runo the power house and is evidence of tho fact that one hand
doans't know what the other hand is doing, at least in Pago Pago.

I trust that a decision will be f frea Unicn within a short

time. Our whole lease fron east to vost 1 prectically be one

the construction to be under way wi a relatively short
time. creation of a ledze across the street fron t'ic pleat to
hold tank batteries should be accomplished por to our construction
if this fill is to be used to construct the marine station lying
seavard of ovr present lease.
This feular cut and fi ration using RD-9's should uct
Sepcohens @ long _— out ee ee I believe this
phase could be conpleted in ten days.
I may or may not have told that Mr. Evich of StarKist offered e
long term contrect to fuel © Japanese fishing flect. H.R.H.
Prince Tungi of aévised ce as of last week during our stock-
holders meeting in » that the Ringers of would purchase
all of their requircments from Union 011 Company in Pago.
Ron Holman of Pan Acerican Airlines has advised thut their jet fuel
contrects et this time aru Shell 3il on a system-wide
basis. This connotes, at least to me, that x benefits are
derived by Stendard ol1 from fueling P.A.A. planes can eccrua
to Union of § thout trying to upset tho present

Polynesian Airlines presently going to Western Scu0a aro moving into
DC-3's and will extend their coverage to Fiji, Rorotonzga and Tonga.

Goveruor Rex Lee

Governor of American Samoa
Pago Pago * :
American Samoa

Dear Governor Lee; a
We all greatly enjoyed the opportunity of seeing you and your
delightful family during your stay in Hong Kong. We hope that your

trip to Japan, Hawaii and return home was pleasant,

It was unfortunate that time did not permit us to review before
you left the discussion you had with Mr, Cadwell at the Carlton Hotel,
Realiziog you hed a great many other matters on your mind, I would
like to review the present status as explained by Mr, Cadwell of our
interest in constructing a terminal and raarketing Union O11 products
in American Samoa, I am sure you realize that we have had a serious
interest in developing the above mentioned proposal, however, our
studies indicate that American Samoa cannot be serviced by products
from California and be competitive, but that the study eleo ind!ca!es
that it would be possible to supply products from Singapore.

Mr. Cadwell explnined that we are in a midst of serious negotia-
tions regarding the future of the Maruzen Toyo Singapore Refinery and
that if we stayed in this refinery as suppliers and marketers we can
possibly arrange economical transportation to Samoa and proceed with
the proposal, On the other hand, ff the negotiations result in our not
staying with the refinery as suppliers and marketers, there seem very
little possibiluy of our making an investment in the terminal and getting
a satiofactory i cturs un our investment,

Mr. Cadwell assured you that he will keep you advised through
Mr, Turnbuli of our success, but if you have other companies thet are
interested in supplying to Samoa, we did not belleve our questionable

ability to supply should keep you from negotiating with another
company. We hope this does not sound pessimistic, but we are
only trying to give you a frank and honest appra{-al of conditions

as they cre at present. We have appreciated your patience anc
understanding of our problems and would appreciate the opportunity
of working with you, Agaia, I would like to assure you that we will
keep you advised of the reaults of the investigation mentioned above.

Best wishes and kindest regards to Mrs. Lee and the family.

the impression, and I can understand this, that you
were quite disappointed to hear that the Singapore

stand why you might bo quite provoked, bu! certainly,
Ray, we would not Intentionally keep stalling along,
realizing filly well that had it not been for you we would
not have iad the opportunity to make the proposal. Mr.
Cadwell polalud oul to Governor Lee, in what I think
wus very clear terms, the problems ard when Governor
Lee leli Klong Kong, he indicated to me that he com-
pletely unders!ood why we could not go into the propogsl
until we knew that we could supply uae Pago et com-
petitive prices.

I know you agree that it is more honoreble
for us to be honest with you on this subject than to lead
you on for the year that it has been since ! first met
you, indicating there were no problems. Nono of us
had any idea that it would take uy so long to resolve
the complications surrounding the Sing:pore problem

Dear Covernor:

The meeting of Chasber of Commerce resulted in a 15 to 4 decision

to approve the petition to Coneress, as prepared by the stacked

board of directors. ‘The four (Ron Pritchard, Burns Philp nan,

the gutceral talkirs boerd member and myself} voting against the
titioa — up the slmple fect that we could coutrol the CofC

by expending the 809 to buy meuborships for e group that would

take our ordozs. This is, in effect, what the oldor Mneubuhl did.

During the mosting Chief Pele sat there swilling liquor and getting
loaded, builcing up a head of stern agaiust me er taking sides
ageinst Hixe. It was fortunrte that I left imuedictely after tic
mesting because I hoard later that Pele ran for his co2ar and wes
goiag to use it. That cpear way be a sywbdl to Sz-oans but it
would be considered a lcthal wo pou here, especially in the hands
of a drunien native. His beckeround of shooting, his monynentel
repes indicate a lack of stability. I am not afraid of lele pro-
viding I em equally armed but my friends were alarned caough to
insist on escortia, no back to my apartiacnt and to the alrport.

I should have 2 report and propossl for you fron Unoco within tro
weeks. lsGee went away with the highest regards for you ani the
business climate. I'm certain that Unioa will wake every effort
to do your bidding. ;

Lt would appreciate it if Mr. Aspinall would send me the Tax Exomp-
tion Cort ifieate before he assiwmes his new duties as Secretary.
I'd hate to start all over with a new A.C,

Thank you for your courtesy to Jim McGee and for your tine on the
airport iuspection tour. —

Yours very truly,

RAYMONS C, TUANDULL,

Dear Covcraor:

I am enclosing herewith a letter received tais morning oa the wood caper

Wimberly offices. If the lezse areca behind the plant cout. be sucveyed
out by brunton before ny Beat trip to Sauoa, which is tentatively slated
for Noveisor 30th, maybe wo could fier up some lease roquirements and
also loox into the feasibility of switching back the c:ieaston of the
already existing roui as show on the plan.

Prior to the dates ect in the Habis letier, I hope to g7t sowe teatetive
exrrangement wor'sed out on the Save!i timber. I an going to heve to, or
this whole ¢cal will fal) on its head.

Since reccivine th: letter, I have hei seettings with ue Picteher Oil Co.,

we can put this deal together, it cannos caly create good profit motive

Yours voxry truly, Dear ow Turnbull:
' This will reply to your letter of November 18, 1963, concerning several subjects.

Concerning the housing behind the plant, l have been specifically told by both

— wD ‘ © DUOULL, Star-Kist and American Can thet they are not interested in this area for housing
ie re hae under any circumstances. Star-Kist has indicated that the area in question will
Enc lonu:y be necded for warchousing space instead of housing. I shall be vlad to discus:

this further with you upon your arrival here.

1 noted with interest your ietter from Mr. Habig, and will look ferwaid to
hearing how you make out on the Savai'd timber deal.

The question about refining Indones.an oi) in Arcrica. - a ic on interestil
development. 1 nuve two reactions on this: (1) While it «wld te extremely
attractive to us in teres of getting cheap fucl oil and ot er oll prod:.ts,

I suppose that it would be very diffiewlt to find a sits t! vewld be catia
fectory for a small refinery in on area that would not niin th. tourd t poten-
tial of the rest of the island. However, I would be pls! ' g,dore tv? with
you. (2) Before we get too deeply involved {1 discuss. rye thre po ibilatys

: Bince it concerns foreign crude oil, I would want sow a'vi ir ca; rts in

the Department of the Interior who are charged with the cert ibility
under the law in regard to both foreign and domertic oi] pro ,

I am reasonably sure that the hotel corporation will be inter ty. am your

proposal to bid on the hotel. Horever, as I expressed te fea ws ae Yast
visit, this is something that will have to be handled wry curefi'ly © 4
discussed with the corporation. The cost figure on the dred um «5 somewhat
, tos etaggering but I assume that this is a very expensive Oo) Patio. Th day after
we discussed this matter in San Francisco, I checked bas wath » in, ton and
found that it was already too late to incorporate any new arene ay ths existing
legislation so this would have to be done on a “eparate pie: of le “isilation.
' I don't mean to sound pessimistic on all of these items you have oe up with

but they are all rather complicated and cannot be set uj, velit: t.

Dear Ir. Turnbull:

Thank you for your letter of Novenber 20, 1965, concerning a number of itens
in which you are interested.

I was glad to have the file on the Jasper Corporation and am looking forward
to hearing how you make out o1 the Savai'i supply.

In regerd to your discussion wit! Jim McGec, I will be interested in hearing
further from you as to thene discussions. The questions that you had on this
were answered in my reply to your letter of November 18.

On the matter of the sale of our Bank, I as still not prepared to enter into

any firm negotiations. We hive not arrived at the point where I would be willing
to do this and I do not know when we will be. I do want to assure you, however,
that ay feeling is that the Bun: should be sold at the appropriate time.

In regard to our boats that are coming here, I was interested in your comment
about Captain Jacots' discurcion with you. I advircd Captain Jacobs that if
you had a@ good crew that was aveiluble to bring the boats down, I wanted hia

to negotiate with you in relation ‘o your cargo and crew and to try to work

out sore kind of arrangement. The last tine I heard from him, he indicated to
me thet he hed discussed the matter with you but thut you did not have any kind
of crew firmed up. I advised him to keep in touch with you snd to work on the
basis of either part or coviplete crew and also on the basis of your cargo.

I will be interested in discussing this with you on your forthcoming visit.

Sincerely yours,

Dear sovannnas

I é. enclosing herewith the inforsatten and breskdoim of Dr. Shaw on
setting, up a facility in Pego. If you will edapt the CI? prices that I
éve you “o these costs, you will sec we cen be in the bah park. Please
old these figures confidentially.

When I can determine whet our tetel rarket can be, and if that figure is
reasonuble, we can cone dom to wor’: out a deel with you and get started
immediately thereafter on putting in the fectlity. Trust tote up the
tctal nuuber of berrels thet we ceuld reescnably expect to cell to your
Goverrment, to the Japanese fishing fleet, to Tonca, te Vestern Szmoa,
to Polynesion Airlines and to Fiji. Jt would helj iu the compiletion
if you covle have one of your sucopers obcein the total threughput of
Standard Oi1 en ali petroleum products, :
Dr. Shaw believes the main tank betteries should ¢o out neat your Public
Works bepartzent, and that a seliepropellec bavye Craving very little
water should make the trip into Peso Herbex fron Hu'ualf lagoon to a
“dock in front of our plant and puny tue fuel by ca und rground pipeline
to a swall tank battery behind the old powor plent.

Using the figures in your 1962 Annuel Repoct for your poise hevse require.
mente, and adding the fuel requirements of jndustry end the fishing et,
the tenk requirements on the slope would not be too larsc, and somewhat
of the size of the tio new tanks w- just put in ct P.c.F.é, to catch rain
water, These tanks are 1,000 berrels each.

It is conte:plated that pipe lfnes could be put directly into your power
plant and into the industries next to P.C.P.C.

The finel staze before ecvpletine this deal is ccupiline the market poten-

tial. The mechanics would entail an American Se7a ec :yorvation which would
distribute not only in American Samoa, but the other areas in that parc of

the Pacific. ; ee.

Governor H. Rex Lee — Novembir 15, 1955
Government House . ea

Pago Pago, American Sanoa
Dear Governor: Gar . ahs

I have oubcitted to you, detailed proposals concerning
new petrolewa facilities in Samoa, the financing compeny
that will disburse fuel products directly to your powerhouse
and to the fish ——- and the drawings of the tank
batteries on the hill across from PCPC,

We have discussed your problens with Standard Oil Co.
and their high rates fur all petroleum products, our talks
and planning having spanned nearly three years. During that
time I have brought UNOCo from Ho. g Kong, Mobil from
Australia and Swmit Petrolevs frow sew York and Thailand.
Months have been spent working out suitable locations for
tank sites, 1.2* only in Pego Harbor but also at Tafuna.

Our agreemoit with Suvunit is in effect and the delivered
costs of petroleu. products to your government, to the fish
companies and to FPanAm will be less than one-half of th-
cost charged by Standard Oil Co. |

You advised me earlier that wy proposal would not be
used to influence Standard to lower their prices but the
result has been the same, in that they have lowered their

prices temporarily to discourage competition.

In a meeting in your Pago office in May you advised that
you would make a decision. Could I expect an answer froa

you shortly?
Yours very truly,

Raymond C, Turnbull Ta 51

When I veceive the figures fron Tonga 1 will send them on to

I will nake arrangeuents with Governor Lee to meet with your

and fox the nain tontk bertery.

With reasonably priced fucl, end the Covernor knocking ovt the

From the above, you will see that the lergest single item of
seles is the diesel fuel. I propose to consider a sea terminal
at Pago Pago with the following storage capacities:

1 - Mogas tank 20,000 bbl. floating roof fvecergu
1 - Kerosene tank 10,000 bbl. cone roof aitenno ”
2 - Diesel tanks 35,000 bbl. cone roof .
(cach) «GY N,ere gels tach.

Veles . Y hee, ul GALS .
I estimate the cost for these storage tanks should be around
U.S. $250,000. I do not know how far the jetty and pipelines
should be built. Assume that you can find a location where the
depth of water of about 30 feet is not too far from the shore,
then the cost of construction for pipelines and jetty will not
be too much. If you can find such a place, the cost of con-
streoction wight be around $250,000. Taking into consideration
the pumps and other accessories and a modest office building,
I believe you should get the whole thing done for around
$500,000/$600,000 (cost of land is disregarded). If you can
keep these expenditures within the above mentioned fisures, then
I belicve the venture would still te worthwhile. You can sce
that the annual turnover is not more than 20,000 tons. We will
have to arrange a very small tanker, say about 12,000 tons, to
dcliver cargoes to Pago Pago at an interval of every six months.
The freight rate would be a little higher than what I estiwated

previously.

From your letter of August 6th, I realize the dicsel fucl is sold
by Standard Of1 of California at around 16.5¢/gal. We shall

have a gross margin of 6¢/gal. If you allocate 2¢/gal. to pay
the capital investwent which will agount to about $100,000/yeaer,
it takes 5/6 years to get the investment back. You will have -to
allocate about l¢/gal. for the adwinistrative expenscs and you
should have about 2/3¢ per gellon net income for each gellon of
preJucts sold. You will have to give commissions to a dceoler if
you chooee to sell the products through a second party. In”
thet case, the dealer's income will have to be taken off from

the above-mentioned net profic.

When you have a sea terminal at Pago Pago, you will be able to take
care of the neighborhood islands such as Tonga. Shipment can

be made from Pago Pago by barge or in steel drums and such drums

can be carried by fishing boats or cargo boats. The drums can

be returned for further use. If you take a look *t che price
indicated by Tonga Construction Company, you will find it is

very high indeed. This high price is perhaps duc to shipment

Dear Mr. Shaw: Mou? sg : ii pe Gree

‘I em enclosing herewith the estimatec covering a pier and the

‘petrolevm storece tanks for Asericen Somoa. The
“

id on the
tanks appears to be salted with adiitional costs and in my

- estimation c2n be reduced at contract time. The dock quotation

is reasoncble for that areca and wlll serve two purposes, one of
which will be the re-fveling of the Japanese Fishing Fleet, as

-well as transwitting the oil ashore.

I propose to use the offices of our cxm company, rather than to

construct a new facility. The tenk battery area will be direct-
ly across the streot from the office and the temninal itself will
be on the seawar.! side of the office.

‘In my discussions with Governor Lee, I have stressed the import-
- ance of free rceatal for the tank site for a period of yeers with

.@ slow graduation of lease cost thereafter, all to be on 4 reason-

_- @ble basés in the final lease considerations. I propose iiat the
frce time on the lease be extended throughout the term of the pay-

‘out period of the investment.

» The Governor, on my mst recent visit, also a

_ @s you know,

.. It 1s proposed that an errangesent be worked out wherein the

actual costs of the installation be borne by yovr cc.ipany, rather
than by guarantying a loan through a benk. ;

greed to the long
‘term Government contract, the Militery Aircraft contract, and

beth Star-Kist and Van Cimp have cgr:et to cancel
thelr standard contract in favor of our new endeavor.

Dear Mr. Shaw:

e April 6, 1965

slow that I have checked out the annual sales of diesel fuel and
have received straight information concerning the doubling of the
Japanese fishing flect in Pago Pago by May 38 1965 it is apparent that
the sales of diesel can exceed ten miilion allons alone in Samoa
without taking into consideration sales to Tonga.

If diesel fuel can be delivered CIF to Pago at 9¢ we will have
long term contracts with Starkist Foods Inc, Van Camps and the Government
of American Semoa. If the specification on the diesel was the same
as the present spec on Standard Oil Co. diesel in Samoa the formula
would look like this:

9.00¢ CIF diese4 fuel, Gravity 69°F. 38.4, Flash
00

Point 200 Viscosity F. 3.73, 57 0
Cetane, Colgr-yellowish, Pour Point +30°F.
Carbon 0.05

1.25¢ Payout on investment of $500,000.

1.60¢ Operation, profit, sinking fund
.85¢ Price to end user.

The other petroleum products would remain the same price, subject
of course to fluctuations in the world market.

| I will, if required, arrange for the financing of ile full facility,
including docks, fue’ing buoys, tanks, pumps and pipelines. I am very
much interested in yc ur suggestion that the tanks could be put in on
.@ deferred payment p.an plus your suggestion that the actual material
and the labor to erect the tanks could be obtained at a lesser cost

than that price advanced by Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. ;

| Inasmuch as both the Governor and the fishing companies are urgently
interested in making a deal could you supply me with some of the answers

concerning not only the above questions but the method of payment for _

the product as it is sold - whether it is on consignment until sold ete?

If I can obtain bona fide long term contracts would this suffice,
as a good enough guarantee, to create the financing of the installation?
I propose to form a new small American Samoa Corporation in order to avoid
corporate taxes for ten years. All of the stock could be held by the
financing party until they were paid out. I will undertake to get the
sand free‘during the term of the payout. I would ame. % a

Dear Mr. Shaw:

April 13, 1965

I am enclosing |, rewith 4 copy of the letter sent to Van
Ce » Sea Food Co.. Ar.-ther like letter was sent to my friends
at Starkist Foods, Ii:-..
‘
I personally know everyone at both Starkist and Van Camp
and we have discussed their problems at length. The enclosed
letter was a more formal presentment required by their Board.

I have, as you already know, made the proposal to Governor
Lee and he will act quickly on the overall plan. If Gov. Lee
makes up his mind quickly he can bring pressure to speed up
the consideration of the fish companies.

Present metiodts of billing in Pago Pago for fucl has the
companies giving credit to the fishing fleet and taking it out
of the fish when delivered. Starkist says it would be easy to
handle that end of it - they would just pay us directly and
then take it out of the fish catches.

For the |e of protecting our proposal in a concerted
effort it might be wise to turn aside any independent inquirctes
made to you regarding petroleum products for American Samoa. One
Mmver knows what fish companics will do - or for that part
territorial governments!

Will keep you informed as things develop.

Youre very truly,
Keres

Dear Mr. Turnbull:

This is to confirm our telephone conversation of this morning on

_ . the supply of jet fuel, JP 1A, as follows:

1, We can furnish jet fuel, to Air Turbine Fuel 1-A specifications,
which is currently being used byleading airlines in the U.S.A.,
such as PAA, NWA, and others. The requirements at Pago Pago

. fe about 3.5 million gallons per year, which is a little over
10,600 tons a year. We are sure that we can meet the require -
ment in quality and quantity.

; 2. Our price to the importing company will be 11. 5¢ per gallon.

3. The importing company shall provide storage facilities and the
. tank-truck loading equipment. It is suggested that the tunporting
company shall charge 2¢ per gallon for the repay.uient of tankage
facilities and another 2¢ for operating expenses, including profit.
Therefore, the oil sold ex-tank-truck will be 15. 5¢ per gallon at
** the Terminal, Pago Pago.

* 4. ti From the tank-truck, either the Government or the importing

' company can deliver to the airport and serve the airlines. On this
part of the servicing, it is very difficult to estimate the opcrating
expenses. If the airpurt is equipped with underground fuel tanks
and also other facilities, and such facilities can be used at
nominal rent, ibcn ine expenses for airport services should be
around 1.25 ¢ per gallon. a oe P

GENERAL INFORMATION

On the basis of taiks held over a period of two years with
the Governor of American Samoa, the Premier of Tonga, Pan Americar
officials, the officers of Starkist Foods Inc., Van Camp and
Pacific Coconut Processing Corp, there is a strong possibility
of obtaining firm commitments to supply petroleum products in
such quantities as to make feasible the construction of a Terminal
Bulk Plant in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

A proposal has been submitted to all interested parties
wherein petroleum products have been offered at a substantially
lower price than those prices presently being paid for products
of Standard Oil Co.

The followlng quoted prices, subject to the Singapore posted
price, are listed herewith for comparison purposes:

Proposed prices Standard Oil Co.
JPIA Jet Fuel 17. 00¢ 22.50¢
Diesel (Light) 11.40 11.95
Diesel (Marine) 11.25 11.95
Kerosene 17.05 22.80
Mogas 16.30 19.30

The supplier of the products pee is The Summit Industrial
Corporation, 120 Wall St., New York, New York 10005, Telephone
Whitehall 47491, J T. Shaw, President.

This company has been furnishing petroleum products to a number
of foreign governments, —— which the largest one is Oil Field
Organization of Thailand. ey have been selling oil to thie
customer since 1957. They are also the only Western Supplier
selling petroleum products to the Indian Oil Corporation. They
have two refineries in Thailand and have an affiliate company,

Tuai Asphalt Manufacturing Co, Ltd., which praduces petroieum vil
and lubricating oil

Their referenc.; Unoco, Hong Kong, and Union Oil Company
indicated the highesc degree of responsibility and honesty. Their
financial responsibility has been investigated by Bank of America
through the Audicing firm of George R. Funaro Co. of New York.

Mr. Raymond Turnbull

Beverly Hills, California

Dear Mr. Turnbull:

We estimate thet @ 50‘ x 150" pier similar in construction to the
one we constructed for Van Cemp would cost in the neighborhood of
$90,000.00.

Walter Lum and Associates, Structural Civil, Enginees and Soil
Engineers, would design che pier using the date and experience we have
accumulated and also their own on site investigation for $5,000.00.

We would suggest that you engage them as design .rgineer, and if
our joint design/cost control efforts result in our bei-; able to offer
you a firm quotation within the above budget estimate, ...¢ you contract
the work to our firs.

We are hopeful that we wiil be able to discuss this projecc with
you om your nexc trip to Hawaii.

Alobs,

Area Analysis

Let us analyse the area, which I shall divide into three categories
in more rolevant terms than geographical limits,

A. Area with existing ocean terminals. This area may be convenient-
ly per g on frei: cost" area. This does not
cele that this low freight cost is always roflected in the sellinz,
price. It simply means that deliveries are made by T-2 type and

b’gger tankers. Socal supplies their terminals in Panceto and P20
with their own tankers, usually the Lombardi, and because o r
privileg os pegition in these two markets, they figure their freic.

o¢ per gallon. Both Shell and Mob
their house flag tankers, as we as chartered vessels, e.g. oo
"Brali”, in this area. ‘

II. Fijis 1. Suva (Shell ,obil,BP,aviation only.

2. Vuda Pt.Lautoka

BP - aviation only)

V. American Samoa

IV. French Polynesia

only)

* Diesel supplied to private industries and other sales in outport
arecs are lifted from these torminals. For example, dicsel re-
quirements of Commonwealth New Guinea Timbors, Ltd. at Bulolo cone
from Lae; for CS&-Nausori 4 Nukualofa, Tonga from Suva, etc.

Price Structure

The Price structure in Area A can be summed up in the following
tables with variations in some of the local areas.

Mobil
Diesel Keroscne Motor Gasoline

Freight 2.1 1.98 1.81

Terminal through-

put charge 1.50 2.00 2.00 e
Price ex terminal*15.72¢ 16 .90¢ 16.65¢ o

**This is price charged by ‘lobil Australia Ltd. whose cost price
paid to ltiobil refinery is undorstocd to be low enough to allow a
fair mark-up. This ssems to do borne out by the fact that on the
occasions whon they draw supplies from their Altona refiuery tseir
FOB prices did not differ much.

* To this price are added local wholesale and retail sark-ups.
Shell

Although Shell's prices, wholesale and retail, parallel mobil's
throughout the area, they scem to figure their ex terminal prices
Slightly differcatly,. This may be accounted for by the fact tas
Shell, in certain areas, market through distrioutors. Saell dase
their 7C3 pipeline prices ou Platts to which are adced a luxp sun
called "distribution cost” (presumcc to include freight, iasurance,
amotization,etc.) The prices and mark-up are set by their various
subsidiaries such as Shell Co. (Pacific Islancs) Ltd. in Fiji, or
N. V. Koninklijze Nederlandoche in New Guinea, Saell O11 Company of
Australia, etc.

Socal

I think that you are thoroughly familiar with Socal's prices in
Tahiti. They may have to revise their cost/sales price structure

104

as soon 2s Mobil's Papeete terminal becomes fully operative. It
(~ is sufficient to recap their prices practiced up to present both
at Papeete and Pa~».,

high freight charges and the agrregate volume is quite repecta-
ble.

SB. Wallis - Futuna

III. Ellice Grou

’ IV. All outer islands or so called outports of all the
sland groups.

We necd not elaborate on the peculiarities of this area except

to say that petroleum marketing is still tied to general ser-

chandise trading. Some ingenuity and a little make-shift will

get us a long way.

General Commor‘s

This entire area is dominated by Shell and Mobil (position
inherited from Stanvec). There are inroads made recently by
Socal at Papeete and Pago;Total (via throughput from Mobil) ina
New Caledonia and Tahiti; BP in aviation sales only and Ampol
in New Guinea.

Against the secmingly well entrenched position of Shell and —*
Mobil, we can exploit somo of their glaring wekresses. In area
A most places are still wide open, where, given equal costs, oo"

the obtaiaing of our share of the market is a matter of diligence.
In areas B and C, a successful operation throughout can be envis-
aged and in many places we cay even end up being the logical sup-
pliers to our competitors.

Dear Ray:

We have just received telegraphic advice

from British Petroleum that due to small volume
potential and the problems of transporting refined a
oil products from either Singapore or Australia they C)
arc not interested in marketing in American Samoa.
This would seem to close the book at least tempora-
rily on our plans to find a competitive source of sup-
ply so that we could enter tais market. I realize of
course that this is a great personal disappointment to
you as it is to mc and we all sincerely hopechat by
solving the problems we have had in the past with the
Singapore Refinery we could be in the position to com-
petitively ship products to Samoa,

‘ [have not yet written Governor Lee and I
would be happy to do so but would first like your advice
whether you would prefer to write him or whether you
think it proper that I also write and explain the decision
of the British Petroleum Company.

I am taking the liberty of sending a carbon
copy of this letter to Mr. Nero because he is, of course,

as intercsted as we are in the proposal and he may
want to contaet you at some future date,

a y truly yours, O

Dear Ray:

Mr. Cadwell asked me if I had told you
officially that British Petroleum were proposing
to buy the Singapore Refinery. I do not recall whe-
ther I have told you this in a letter or over the long
distance phone and, for that reason, I am enclosing
a photostatic copy of a press release on this subject
which you may or may not have seen. It appears
that the negotiation for the purchase of the refinery
by BP has been approved by all parties concerned.

Mr. Cadwell is going to discuss with the
officials of BP the information you were kind enough
to give me by overseas telephone the day before
yesterday and, I am taking the liberty of writing BP,
suggesting they contact you personally in the event
this recent indication that Pan American would give
the new supplier their jet fuel requirements in Pago
Pago might possibly increase the volume sufficiently
for them to be tnterested.

Thank you again Ray for the enthusiasm
and support you have given us on this program and I
sincerely hope that we have the pleasure of seeing
you in Hongkong in the near future.

Very truly yours,

JHM:gt ()

Have you ever heard of Dato Loke Wan Tho, S.1.M.K., P.M.N, Chairman of
the Cathay Organization? I understand that as an individual he is loaded
and that he .yao a tremendous hui. They have been sprinkling their
mouey out in the Pacific evidently smelling a coming rat in the Orient.
His son-in-law, Wesley Barrett, runs the Ca Hotels (Fiji, Led.) in
Suva, Fiji. I once talked to Barrett about Tahiti, but that idea died
because the French hate Chinese. This Palmyra caper should have some
trigue in ‘{* for foreigners in that they can carve pieces out of the
tourist industry that frequents Hawaii and ;et dollars at the same time.
Keep your ears open for anybody who might be interested in this deal.

I am sending in my entry blank for the Macao Grand Prix to be held
November 16th. I propose to bring a Ferrari and a new Shelby Cobra and
hope between these two cars my sister and I can dominate every event

except the Formula Junior class. Is there any reason | 4 car shouldn't

order to plan an efficient investigation of the site, we will need nore
preliminary information on the planned developxent if such is available.
Could you advise us on the following points:

1. In general, what is the time-frame within which the planned
construction should be scheduled?

2. Does the project envision a port development as well as
reclamation? If so, waat would be the size and craft of ships,
the extent of wnarves, and the requirexent for dock equipment
such as cranes, etc.?

De What would be the nature of cargoes which will be handled?

We visualize the sequence of our activities generally fzlling into three
phases: first would be preliminary prospectin3, the cost of which would
be borne by the incivieual partners of the proposed joint venture, cach
according to his own recuirenments, with the cbjective or determining the
feasibility; second, the engineering survey and design for dreczinz,
reclamation and water front construction, which would be to the account
of the joint venture; and third, the actual isplementation of the plana
by the joint venture on a cost basis to be determined by negotiation
leading from che first two phases.

Between now and your return to Eonolulu, we propose to exanine the project
with the use of such hy¢rogrephic and other charts as may be available here.
We would like to recommend that you plan to stay a day or two here in order
that we may explore more fully plans for finance, nature of the industries
contemzlated for the site, as well as the present extent of leasing intent
a@s an indicator of the possible value of the land and facilities to be
constructed,
