The hearing {has been set for January 23. | |. Principals involved are the Per-} oe n and British governments in a {dispute over Persia’s cancellation! {ef the concession, which was grant- ed in 1901 for 60 years. Contract Terms At Issue | Persia knotted the skein Novem- ‘ber 27 by its cancellation action ‘and the sanctity of the obligation tis the problem before the council. The tangle of difficulties, how- ever, has a deeper origin than the cancellation, now contested by | | Great Britain as “an inadmissible! breach of terms.” It had its beginnings in the pro- sion for an annual royalty to Per-| sia of 16 percent of the “net prof- jee from the concession. H Profits Start Dispute The basis of caleulating these | }gains did not become bothersome ; | ‘for 15 years—because the oil com-| | pany made no profit—but it turned } {into a problem immediately when! |the first profit was recorded. Lengthy and fruitless negotia-| ‘tions ensued but it was not until | ; December 22, 1920, that an agree- | {ment was reached and the com-| {pany settled for $6,500,000. For eight years, this arrange- pment remained in force. Then Persia moved to revise the conces- ysion and since 1928 various. at- tempts to negotiate a new agree- ment have been made. Meanwhile the royalties had be- come a chief factor in Persia’s rev- enue. But it was a fluctuating revenue and the shah’s government sought greater and more stable; benefit from the undergorund | | wealth. The payments have ranged from around $2,000,000 to more than $7,000,000 each, the top figure being reached in 1927 and 1929. In 1930 it was about $6,000,000 but last June Persia was told that! the indicated figure for 1931 was| By OSCAR LEIDING Dizful 5 TAN Fd} = aed Oil, a frequent cause of international incidents, has brought Great Britain and Persia before the League of Nations as disputa: The map shows the route of the Anglo-Persian company’s pipe line to Akadan whence tankers transport the “black gcld” overseas.
