BRITAIN PEEVED
OVER NEW LAW
AFFECTINGO OIL

TeEuciEalpa. Honduras. Dec. IS
Some curt and not very cordial notes
have been exchanged between repre-
seutacives of the British and Costa
3ican governments over a law Of
Costa Rica annulinE ali international
transactions by the previous admin
istration Of president Tinoco.
This law rescinds an oil concession
given 90 British interests. affects
certain arrangements between the
Tinoco government and the Costa
Eican branch OF the Royal bank OF
Canada. and affects some American
interests. including the Sinclair syn
dicare which had obtained certain oil
rights under the Tinoco administra-
ton
The British government filed
strong protest with the government OF
Costa Rica. refusing to abide by the
law. To this Costa Rica replied that
Il would not allow a foreign power
70 interfere with Its internal legisla-
ton. Great Britain then sent its min
lister from Panama TO Costa Ricas
to settle the dispute,
AS q consequence, the Costa Rlcan
press is bitter against the British
claims and much anxiety exists there
at the probable outcome
