This action OF the Constitutionalist
chief was not unexpected, as officials
here understood the creation OF ii

Nevertheless, it was evident that fail

the valuable oil properties was n dis
tinct disappointment. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice. the British ambassador. has urged
strongly the neutral zone proposal
