ENGLAND & PERSIA.
OIL DISPUTE REFERRED TO LEAGUE. ALLEGED BRITISH THREADS. NON-PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES AND TAXES. GENEVA, December 14. The Persian Government has instructed its Minister to refer the oil dispute to the League of Nations, carrying out its threat to bring to the notice of the League of Nations alleged threats of pressure by the British Government “which are encouraging the oil company to resist payment of royalties and income tax.” The Persian Government, replying to the last British Note in reference to the Anglo-Persian Oil Co., says that it considers Tho Hague Court not competent to examine the oil dispute and reiterates that the cancellation of tho D’Arcy Concessions was justified. A new agreement is suggested safeguarding Persian interests.
