The decree, which fixed the condi-
tions under which oil operators might
work In Colombia. brought strong op-
position from American oil interests,
which contended that 1t would virtually
stop the further development OF oil
properties.
Several American Oil companies
opened suit TO test the constitutionality
Of the oil decree. In response to COM
plants, the United States State De-
partment, through Mr.. Piles at Bogota,
took up the question informally with
the Colombian government last Feb
ruary.
State Department officials at Wash
ington who examined the new law we're
quoted as saying that while 1t ap-
peared not to be discriminatory, 1t was
excessively burdensome on American
oil companies operating In Colombia.
The Bogota newspapers commented
unfavorably on the action Of the United
States in taking up the question. in
several instances limiting that 1t was
an invasion of the sovereign rights in
Colombia.
On March 3 suit was filed on behalf
OF the South American Gulf Oil Co,
the Standard Oil Co. Of California, the
Caribbean Syndicate and others to test
the constitutionality of the oil law and
the executive decree regulating it.
Among other things the plaintiffs
contended that the law set up a
monopoly, deprived private landowners
Of subsoil rights and imposed con-
hscatory taxes on private development.
