COMMENT OF THE DAY
The
Persian Dilemma
Y issuing an expulsion order against
By an excutives and workers in Abadan, Dr Mossadegh, the Persian Premier, has brought the dispute to a climax. In presenting his ultimatum he has acted solely on his own initiative, ignoring the accepted procedure of submitting his proposal to the Mujlis for approval, Dr Mossadegh may consider this an insignificant misuse of his authority, but it is an action well calculated to stir up stronger opposition to his regime on the part of the more moderate political elements in Persia. Nevertheless, the more urgent question of the day is whether Dr Mossadegh intends to stand by his ultimatum and If so, what action the British Govern- ment will take. Mr Attlee and his Cabinet, it must be acknowledged, are in a delicate position and more than ever must carefully weigh the pros and cons of any action. That Britons in Abadan have been told to stay put and defy the expulsion order suggests that the British Government is prepared to give them physical as well as moral support. This may well require the landing of troops and naval personnel, which in turn may involve counter- action by 'Iranian forces. Given any such situation, it would be difficult to avoid

Cabinet Will Decide Today
(OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
London, Sept. 27. Events are gathering speed in the Persian oil crisis. The Cabinet meets in London this morning
to decide the reply to Persia's "get out in a week” ultimatum. Mr Churchill will meet Mr Attlee in the afternoon to discuss the Cabinet meeting out- come, and in Persia itself orders have gone out to shoot if the British, as the Persians put it, "at- tempt aggression."
The Cabinet Ministers in London will make a choice between obeying the Persian ultimatum and ordering the withdrawal of the oil men or putting troops and ratings in to help them hold on.
If the Cabinet wants to bring out the Abadan men Mr Churchill may ask for immediate recall of Parlia- ment or insist on a discussion when the Commons meets for one day next Tuesday.
