England Asks
I. Ethiopians To
Hold Up Action
LONDON. Aar. SI.— — The
Foreign Office announced Satur
day the British minister to Ethi
opia had been authorised to in
form Emperor Haile Selassie the
British government advises him
to withhold oil concessions grant
ed Friday.
An official communique, after a
day of silence, said:
“His Majesty’s government has
aa yet received no confirmation of
reports in Saturday's press of a
front of concessions for oil In
mineral rights in Ethiopia, but
have felt It necessary to inform
His Majesty’s minister to Addis
Ababa such concessions would un
doubtedly be a matter for prelim
inary consultations by His Ma
jesty's government, the French
and Italian governments under
Article Two of the tri-partite
treaty of 1906."
“In these circumstances Sir
Sydney Barton has been author
ised, If the report is true, to In
form the emperor that His Majes
ty's government on their part advise
him to withhold the concessions.
The communique was issued as
pews of the granting of the con
cessions roused a storm of protest
in Rome where editorial writers
said it violated existing treaties,
and reports from elsewhere that
news of the concession would
gravely affect Great Britain’s role
u a peacemaker in the Italo
Lthiopian dispute.
WORLD STARTLED
BY OIL DEVELOPMENT
(By The Associated Press*
An announcement by the Ethiop
ian government that a concession
hat* been granted to African Dev
elopment Exploration company. In
corporated In Delaware, to develop
o'l resources of half of Ethiopia
startled world statesmen Saturday.
Frances M. Rickett. British pro
moter who negotiated the conccs
sion with Emperor Haile Selassie,
.a*<J the corporation was controlled
by the Standard Oil company but
did not specify which Standard Oil
company. The concession was lor
73 years.
Is Grave News
The news was received gravely by
\ orld foreign offices, where offi
c.ols searched for possibilities o!
I.U -reaching implications. Few cared
i*> make statements until they hao
gotten authoritative reaction from
i>.« countries affected.
In Washington diplomatic circles,
there was a disposition to believe
the deal most likely would not in
volve the United States directly in
ray conflict between Italy ana
Ed hop la although it might raise
international problems.
French officials said they were
uncertain of the effect of the dis
closure but the opinion was ex
pressed unofficially that the Italians
might say the British stand on
principles had merely’ masked busi
ness aspirations. The opinion was
bIso expressed that a violation of
tnc treaty of 1906. providing for
consultation between Englana.
France and Italy over Ethiopian
matters, might be claimed.
II Due* Unshaken
British officials, In the absence
of official reports, were inclined to
minimize the Importance of the
transaction. They said the last thing
the government would want to do
under the present circumstances
would be to support an enterprise
of the character reported.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the
Italian government said the con
cession could in no way deter Pre
mier Mussolini's plans regarding
Ethiopia. While the report was
spreading, Mussolini himself was
tehing his army that 200,r00 more
men would be called to the colors
next month.
Various United States senators at
Washington, informed of the con
cession, commented that the Ameri
can people were determined to keep
out of foreign wars.
