HOME. Italy. July 9.-The Albanian
4 Reernment has approved a bill au-
thd$izing q blank concession of the
enttre, Albanian petroleum territory
to a British company. Any American
plan in this connection consequently
will be too late.
The refusal Of the council of the
league of nations to determine the
Albanian frontiers is considered the
latest example Of the determination
of many to maintain tke league in a
state of permanent fneptitude. The
Albanians, in view of Great Britain's
pseudo protectorate over Greece and
the Indebtedness of Jugoslavia to
Efance, declare that an eQuable judg-
lpknt where the interests Of these two
Balkan states are concerned cannot be
expected from the council of am
bassadors in Paris. They prefer to
put their faith in the inherent fair
puindedness Of world opinion.

cuses Of having always behaved to the

up through diplomatic channels.
Various government officials are
vehement and bitter in their charges
against the oil men, who are openly
accused of intriguing against Mexico
and attempting to embroil 1t in war

chief of the cabinet, who recently re-
turned from an extensive tour Of the

Mexico Declared Free.
Mexico is an absolutely free and
sovereign country, and is. therefore.
in a position to dictate laws favor
able to its interests. Our constitution
provides ample protection to all for

obligations"

Gen. Gales declared:
THE Infamous Vaccinations Of the
oil men have failed in their purpose
to alienate tho workmen from the

Meanwhile the oil men also have
had their innings in the newspapers
and have published exhaustive lists
Of figures showing how it is impos-
sible to operate at a profit under the

Much Oil Exported.
The department of industry and
commerce issued a statement today

dred thousand tons of oil were ex-
ported during the first seven days of
