...achieve her plan, Persia proposes to spend a total of $650 million, an estimated 35% to 40% of which will be spent abroad. The bulk of the development cash will come from Persian government royalties from the British Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. Anglo-Iranian last year paid Persia some $35 million in royalties, but a new pipeline to be built from Abadan on the Persian Gulf to Tripoli in Lebanon, under a deal between Anglo-Iranian, Standard Oil (N.J.) and Socony-Vacuum, is expected to let Anglo-Iranian boost output and raise royalties to as much as $50 million next...
