PERSIAN LEADER WARNS MR RICHARD STOKES
Teheran, Aug. 12. Iran's foremost clerical leader warned Britain today that uny Iranian political leader who backed down on the nationalisation of Bri- tish-owned oil interests would face assassination,
The warning came from Seyed Abolghassem Ku Kashani,. one of tho principal figures in the nationalisation of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, in conversation with Mr Richard Stokes; Lord Privy Seal and chief of the British delegation to the oil talks here. It came as Mr Stokes hoped to present de finite compromise proposals to the Iranians which would get oil flowing again from Iranian fields and refineries to the Western world.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
THE
Time Limit For Agreement
HE tedious procession of fruitless conferences at Kaesong provides a nice test of patience, but that is all. The genuine desire of the Communists to end hostilities in Korca remains in doubt. On the other hand it is recognised they have placed themselves in an unenviable position. Their impracticable insistence that the cease- fire line of demarcation must be the 38th Parallel has made it difficult for them to suggest or accept an alternative without, apparently, losing face. Yet the outlook today is not quite so hopeless as it was 48 hours ago. The Com- munists have yielded slightly in one direction-they have agreed to study a map. The inference to be drawn is that they will, in due course, also be prepared to consider a compromise cease-fire line. But it will not be sur- prising if they take most'or the whole of this week to arrive at that decision. The Communists are haggling over an
BO
issue, which ordinarily could have been agreed upon in fairly quick time, largely because they have overdone their propaganda. Precipitous retreat from the
announced position they blatantly to the world in the original stages of the Kaesong talks is, to them, out of the question, but that they must eventually make a concession if they really desire an armistice is inevitable. One point which may arise, this week is whether the UN will place a time limit for resolving the truce line prob- lem. Positive progress towards con- clusion of an armistice is essential, but while the Communists are entitled to reasonable time in which to find an agreeable compromise, they cannot be permitted to stall indefinitely. If the truce line issue is not settled during this week, the United Nations would be justified in giving the Communists a time limit for reaching an acceptable decision.
