A Country In Jeopardy
RITAIN has decided on a "walt and
oil crisis. Mr Averell Harriman, the United States diplomat, describes the present as a "cooling-off period," and welcomes it as a possible means of bringing about a Baner and more temperate attitude on the part of the Persians. The situation at the moment is a stalemate. While the Persians declare the nationalisation bill stands as originally drafted and approved in the Majlis, their oil industry is at a stand-· still. Britain has withdrawn key. workers from the ollfields and the refinery at Abadan. Is no longer func- tioning; nor is Persia having her oil sold in the world markets. This un- happy situation results directly from Dr Mossadegh's refusal to accept Battlement proposals, reasonable to the point of being generous. When Mr Richard Stokes went to Teheran to endeavour to negotiate a settlement, he affirmed that the basic need was to keep the Persian oil industry operating. To achieve that he advanced a series of proposals which not only recognised In principle, nationalisation of the industry, but, which also served to realise the principlo :' in a practical manner. From the Persians he required but two.concessions. One was, the retention of a British manager for the oporating of the industry. This was essential because the highly skilled British technicians were not prepared to work under any other than a British manager The second suggestion was that Britain should continue to market.

more businesslike proposition could be conceived and its acceptance would have permitted immediate resumption of operations in the oil fields and at the Abadan refinery. Dr Mossadegh saw fit to reject the proposals and, not without sonte significance, he has since been severely criticised by a number of his prominent countrymen. Dr Mossadegh, presumably yielding once again to pressure from nationalist - extremists, is now accused by members of the Opposition, in the Majlis of violating the conditions attached to the vote of confidence accorded him during his negotiations with Mr Stokès.
