New Turn In Iran Oil Dispute

The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company today agreed to send representatives from London to Teheran for "full and frank discussions" over the oil dispute.

Persia's immediate reaction-voiced by Deputy Prime Minister Hussein Fatemi was that this meant the A100 accepted Persia's takeover of the AIOC under the month-old nationalisation law.

The Value Or Hongkong

MR Dean Acheson has disclosed a welcome new official American attitude to Hongkong and the rule it and does play for the United Nations in the Far East. We in Hong- kong have long claimed a similar assessment of our value to the free world, but the importance of Mr it Acheson's declaration is that represents an effective offset to the views of the hot-headed extremists in the United States who would write the Colony off completely, and would quite happily sacrifice us to evil forces merely to pursue a line of action against Com- munist China which could never bear useful results. Mr Acheson rates Hong- kong as an "important point for observation." He is perfectly right, but the existence of a British Colony in this part of Asia has a value even wider This and more enduring than that. intelligently-governed, economically - stable, progressively-minded Colony is an inspiration to millions of Chinese who know Communism for what it is worth-repressive, despotic and dicta- torial. The comparison between democracy based on the freedom and rights of the individual and dictator- ship which makes all and everybody subservient to the State is nowhere more vividly illustrated. While certain garrulous politicians in the United States and other countries talk in high

falutin phrases about the privileges of 'democracy, Hongkong is demonstrating them by example and is therefore serving the United Nations in practical manner. We have no need, therefore, to apologise either for our existence as a British Colony or for our relations with the mainland of China.

And it is necessary, not only for the United States Administra- tion, but the governments of the democratic world, to resist to the utmost the proposition that a naval blockade of the China coastline be applied. The suggestion is illogical and dangerously provocative. It might strangle the life out of Hongkong but it is virtually certain that it would not hasten the end of the Korea conflict, or force the Peking Government to its knees. This

on the mainland the storage is nearing capacity. The year's rainfall so far is well above average and will almost certainly continue to be so, The Water Authority's main worry about summer supplies has already passed. There is, of course, need for caution. Government cannot afford to relax entirely the water restrictions, because of the Colony's tremendous dally con- sümption. But we feel that the Authori-

ties could make one small concession without jeopardising future water storage. It is that supplies from the mains be extended one hour at night. To many at this time of the year a bath or shower before retiring to bed is a refreshing preparation for a

good night's sleep, which now has to be foregone with the water cut off at 9 o'clock. The additional consumption during that extra hour is not likely, to be such as to endanger the Colony's supplies, but it would prove an estim- able boon to many people,

Guilty

Of High Treason

Washington, June 3.

Senator Joseph McCarthy (Republican) today called for the impeachment of Mr Dean Acheson, Secretary of State, and named four Republicans and four Democrats, any of whom would be "ac- ceptable" to him as the Cabinet officer's successor.

Senator McCarthy said on television that someone with the Administration had committed "high treason" and it was time for Mr Acheson and "his crowd" to go. Asked whom he would like to see in Mr Acheson's job, Senator McCarthy offered to bet a "steak dinner" that it would be a "Republican stooge." Pressed to state what Democrats would be "acceptable" to him, he first said he did not want to give anyone the "kiss of death" but then listed the following Senators: Walter George, Richard Russell, Harry Byrd and John Sparkman. As for members of his own Party, he named Harold Stassen, Governor Thomas Dewey, Senator William Knowland and Repre- sentative Walter Judd.
