OIL WELLS MENACED BY GREEK ADVANCE

AN IMPORTANT: SOURCE OF ITALIAN OIL SUPPLIES:IS MENACED BY THE GREEK PUSH IN NORTH ALBANIA DIRECTED TO WARDS THE SKUMBI RIVER VALLEY.

For over a decade before Mussolini, drove out King Zog and seized his country, Italy

had shown graat interest and spent much money on the do- -velopment of this oll field.
