Britain Tied In Voting On Oil At Parley
At Paris the Balkan Economics Commission tied 7 to 7 over British demand for treaty safeguards for foreign oil interests in Romania. The stalemate triggered sharp comments from American delegate Senator Arthur Vandenberg as Italy and Austria moved toward autonomy rights in the Tyrol. The proposed annex would require compensation for losses of allied nationals, subject to close votes as Britain, its empire allies and Greece faced European blocs. The United States argued general property clauses suffice. France abstained then shifted sides on key provisions.
