EMPEROR DEEDS MORE
| THAN HALF OF EMPIRE
TO BRITISH AMERICANS
Commercial “Scoop” Of Ethiopian Land
May Change Aspect International Views
(By The Associated Press)
ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 31, — (World copyright 1935 by
AP bv James A. Mills of the Associated Press Foreign Staff)
I—Frances M. Rickett, British promoter, told this corres
pondent Friday night that Emperor Haile Sel of Ethio
1 pia. seeking to stop the expected Italian ad vane* into Ethio
pia had deeded more than half of his empire tu^Angio-Am
erican interests for exploitation and development, just be
fore midnight.
Mills said: “I myself saw the original charter, signed
by the Emperor with his official title of ‘Anointed King of
Kings’. Duplicate versions—one in English and t In' other in
Amharic carried the great imperial seal of the ‘Conquering
Lion of Judah’.”
By this remarkable document the sovereign has turned
over an area of one hundred and fifty thousand square mil
es—more than the combined areas of Indiana and Illinois
to the Standard Oil Company and British industrial inter
ests under a seventy-five year charter.
The charter authorizes its holders to exploit the miner
al resources and develop the country. Rickett said that the
Emperor entered into negotiations looking toward the grant
ing of the right in a perpetuity corporation, known as the
Lake Tana Conservancy Syndicate, which proposes to build
a dam and pumping stations at Lake Tana, one of the sourc
es of the blue Nile, and long a subject of international vigi
lance and jealousy.
The program of industrial negotiations as Rickett ex
plained it. contemplates an initial investment of sixty mil
lion dollars. The revenue to Ethiopia within four or five
years will be about fifteen million dollars which will triple
the present annual revenues. The emperor agreed to spend
the increase in road building, education, hygene, and gen
eral improvement. Rickett said that the Ethiopian under
taking was similar to that being done in Mesopotamia. He
further stated that the development would go ahead im
mediately—“War or no War!”
