OIL CONCESSIONS
EXPLANATION FROM PERSIA ACTION OF CORRUPT GOVERNMENT. LONDON, December 16. The Teheran correspondent of The Times says that the Foreign Minister (Farrughi Khan), during a debate on the oil cancellation, outlined the Persian case in the form likely to be presented to the League. He said that Persia’s sole intention of cancelling was to protect her own rights and interests, for which there was no provision in the concession, because it was given by a corrupt Persian regime. The Government immediately intimated its willingness to conclude a new concession, but the interference of the British Government prevented the beginning of negotiations with the company. Persia owned the oil. The company should benefit equitably, but so must the Persian nation. She demanded only her rights.
