Emperor Haile Selassie Stands By Concessions To US Oil Firm
Addis Ababa September 2 The British French and Italian ministers pressed Emperor Haile Selassie to revoke the concession of oil and mineral rights to an American company. The emperor said he had a right to act within his own territory and that the United States is not bound by the 1906 treaty. He warned arms embargoes may be lifted if war looms and pledged protection for foreigners should conflict arise. He declined to grant bribes or cede territory to avert war, urging peace unless invaded.
