British Interests Cannot Be Flouted
STRONG DECLARATION IN
OIL DISPUTE CLAIM
Aden, Dec. 19.
Judge Ralph Campbell today reserved judg- ment until January 9 in the latest case on the dis- puted Persian oil carried by the tanker Rose Mary.
He did so after the final speech by Sir Hartley Shawcross, appearing for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, who claim ownership of the oil carried by the tanker.
Sir Hartley Shawcross, who was Attorney General under the former British Labour Government, said in his closing speech:
"It is high time that it should be firmly asserted once again that British interests are not to be flouted, and that British subjects are not to be pushed around in a breach of international law by foreign states, which think it good to disregard solemn undertakings they have previously given."
He stressed the importance-
of the case, not only to Brish interest but "to the rule of law in the world at large"
He said he wanted to em-; phasize, In view of stalements made during the hearings, that Persia's oil nationalisation law was wholly epatrary to the United States view of inter- national law.
