Persians Think Agreement Is Possible
Teheran, Aug. 13.
Mr Richard Stokes, Britain's oil envoy, today handed Persian delegates a plan to end the oil dis- pute. Persian delegates said afterwards, "We think agreement possible." -
Persian delegates were smiling as they left the 80- minute session and immediately hurried to a joint meet- ing of the Cabinet and Oil Commission at Premier Mohammed Mossadeq's house.

Japanese Treaty Conference
UNEXPECTED DECISION
Washington, Aug. 13.
Russia, which has been hitting at the proposed Japanese treaty.for weeks, will send a delegation to the treaty conference opening in San Francisco on September 4.
In disclosing this today the State Department declined to speculate on the Russian purposes or whether Soviet attendance would likely mean a long-drawn-out affair.
But it appeared improbable that the Russians have any intention of signing a treaty they have criticised so much. They might hope to make. paganda capital out of public, quarrolling, with it at the conference.
Only last week Secretary of State Dean Acheson predicted the Soviets likely would pull all the tricks they could with the aim of disrupting the confer-
ence.

N old familiar tule appears to be unfolding in the various facets of the Labour Government's financial policy since imposing dividend cuts on British shareholders. reflection that rising dividends had necessarily inflationary consequences probably
somo justification. Excellent sentiment reposes in the argument that a full of one-third in share values was psychologically good because "we must all take part in the fight against inflation." But what about wages? Supposing they fell "only by one-third" of recent rises would that be psychologically helpful too? Agreeing that all should be taking part, what is actually happening? Five months ago, railwaymen granted a substantial wage increase. Now they have put in for another and perhaps they are justified on facts and figures. The only doubt arises with the query: Why should individuals living frugally on the reduced yield of a life- time's savings, have their income cut for the good of the country while n railwayman gets his stepped up. More over, are railwaymen to be permitted to bargain for more wages before they have fulfilled the conditions upon which, they were given their instincrense? British troops in .Koren
might' conceivably be asking that question. The ranker going from Hongkong to the fighting front actually loses 25. Bd. a day local allowance from the time he sails for his service in battered Koren. The Hongkong allowance, designed to compensate for high cost of living in the Colony, is cut off because there is nothing much to buy in Korea anyway..! This reason may be good mathematics, but it takes no account of the disabilities suffered by our fighting men in comparison with their United Nations comrades. The British soldier
pays full income tax whereas some other nationalities get reduced rates or pay none at all. Most of them receive than a British soldier, officer or man. Miners in England have been praised for volunteering for Saturday work in the pits, and so have railwaymen for returning to a 48-hour week. But somehow or other, they get paid specially for this. It may soem odd that they get time-und-a-half for helping the country while the fighting man gets a technical cut for doing the same thing. It may seem odd that some profound difference 15 found between helping Britain in one way and helping it in another. Or between inflation caused by dividends
and inflation caused by wages. In honest, fact there is no difference at all. If the Government looked to the nation before they looked to votes and tried to give "fair do's" to trade unionists, the national effort would be much more impressive. As it is, there is a distinct impression that Mr. Attleo. is more deeply engrossed in electoral tactics. than in national well-being. The Dividend Limitations Bill could just as well have been dictated by the need for a favourable Party wind and the Bevanites have, in fact, so interpreted it. Indeed, the dividend cut, with all its attendant propaganda, is proving popular stuff in the Labour Party, and should there be further concessions in ån autumn budget to the economic wishes of the Socialists in order to make moro palatable the rigid resistance, (to, which Mr Attico is committed) to the demand for scaling down rearmament," tho Premier might well find it expedient to announce an election in October.
