Ootapdny 'a position -in regard to important oil concessions granted by the Albanian Government is sound from a legal viewpoint, but at the same time it is contended that the possibility of oilfields being developed near the Adriatic coast is fraught with strategical consequences, qlosely concerning Italy, whose rights cannot bo disregarded.
