Oil Talks: British
Answer Is Typhoon
Awaited
London, Aug. 1.
Britain appeared just about ready on Wednes. day to say Yes to an Iranian offer to talk over their oil dispute.
The British cabinet received on Wednesday a report from Mr W. Averell Harriman, President Truman's special envoy now in Teheran.
"The message gives ground for hope that it will be found possible to dispatch a mission to Iran," a Foreign Office spokesman said later.
The cabinet discussed Mr Harriman's
report and then sent

Is The Door Being Opened?
MR Herbert Morrison may not go down to posterity as the greatest Foreign Minister in history, but he has at least one unique achievement already to his credit-ho has broken through the iron curtain in a manner no other contemporary statesman has been able to parallel. It would be unwise to over- evaluate the significance of the publica- tion in full by Pravda of Mr Morrison's Soviet challenging appraisal of the system, but the fact that, for the first time, the Russian people as a whole have been given the opportunity of learning what the free world' thinks about the Soviet way of life and how It compares with that of the democracles, is of itself important. Moreover it has to be appreciated that Pravda is not indulging in any news- paper "tunt," so that it can be reason- ably assumed that Pravda and its bigh governmental advisers have a definite. obfective in giving the Russian people a new insight into current international thought. It is suggested by some observers that the publicised exchange of views between Mr Morrison and Pravda is the prelude to a wider Inter- change of social and political ideas to which the Russians as a whole are to

of the world. Pravda claims that the Russians are enlightened, but abundant evidence exists that to date, that enlightenment is founded on propaganda and officially stimulated misconceptions. And because Russians have' for 80 long been intellectually and spiritually nurtured on propaganda It is more than likely they will regard Mr. Morrison's homily in that light. This probability, how ever, must not be allowed wholly to discount the value of presenting a view- point from the democracies to the people! of Russia! At least it gives them an opportunity

"Russia and the free world, and from. it they may learn a useful lesson. It. would be encouraging to think that publication of Mr Morrison's views and Pravda's replies promotes a wide public debate within the, Soviet Union, for if nothing else it would stimulate - Individual and original thinking-some- thing which, hitherto, has not been an outstanding characteristic of the Soviet system. The gesture made by the Kremlin through its official newspaper may mean a lot or nothing. It could presage a genuine attempt to allow the Russlans to obtain a more objective appreciation of how the rest of the world lives, thinks and behaves; of the dembéracies', attitude to the inter national problems which affect the Soviet people as much as anyone else. If this be the intention the free world will applaud and will readily give it all the encouragement it deserves.
