Your March 16, 7 p.m., 1917.44 Will appreciate being informed if Sinclair-Valentine oil concession operated by Costa Rica Oil Corporation is regarded as such an American interest as deserves protection. There is some indication that Tinoco seeking to undermine company’s standing with a view probably forfeiting concession and regranting it to Amory interests.
