Teheran, Sept. 9.

The Mossadegh Government seemed tonight in a slightly weaker position, but whether the Op- position is strong enough to do anything about it. remains to be seen until the next meeting of the Majlis, which is due on Thursday.

Opposition deputies say that they are worried about their prospects if Dr Mossadegh runs for the next election the preliminaries of which begin in a fortnight's time.

They are also worried about, for Dr Mossadegh's ultimatum "economic disaster" which they to Britain Is not in accord with think may

doubted whether the Opposition will pay n vote of no-confidence in the Government. They allege that the Premier's supporters are

"again threatening violence against their opponents."

The probability is that Mr Harriman will either send the ultimatum back for transmis- sion through normal channels or propose some alternative way out of the present deadlock.

Britain will certainly not agree to reopen the negotiations es a result of an ultimatum.

on questions procedure and protests against the non- presence of Communist China. These were virtually academic issues and could not alter the fact that 49 coun- tries has decided that the time was appropriate for a peace treaty to be signed with Japan. Nevertheless, the biggest set-back to Soviet Russia and her aspirations for expanding Com- muniat aggression in the Pacific is con- tained in the mutual security pact which Japan and the United States aigned on Saturday. Portedly it expresses its prime objective for the United States and Japan to together in defending the security of the islands from aggression, whether from without by fiin. And Mr Yoshida, the Japanese Premier, frankly indicated that mint Communism was the only threat to Japan's peace and security. Japari is a willing part- ner to the security pact, which is under- standable. While she has had restored her sovereignty, she is not strong enough, on her own, to withstand political or military pressure. Her internal security forces are inadequate

this responsibility. Moreover, as Mr Dean Acheson explicitly stated, this agree ment represents but part of a pattern for the future security of the whole of the Pacific and the character and intention of the pact must be inter- preted accordingly. It would be wrong to regard the security agreement as exploitation on the part of the United States. America believes that it would be fatal to leave a politically independent Japan defenceless at this critical period. She must have internal security while she continues the task of restoring her economic and financial equilibrium. Internal disorders or external pressure would gravely impede the country's reconstruction and would nullify completely the pur- pose of the peace, trênty signed at San is Francisco. The security pact designed to solidify the treaty and to permit Japan to remain unhampered in her fulfilment of its conditions,

Dr Mossadegh's Dangerous Policy

R Mossadegh has shown himself in DMsandog hageoning a second failure to obtain a quorum in the Majlis for a vote of confidence, he has, as the mouthpiece of the Persian political extremists, announced his deter mination to present an ultimatum to Britain on behalf of the whole country. Ho possesses no such mandate, but this, quite clearly does not worry, Dr Mossadeghi. Or in his latest fiery speech. a plece of bravado? It is easy enough to talk loudly about ultimatums, but they very frequently have a tricky way of boomeranging. Ultimatums have no place in political diplomacy, and when they are applied to issues which

FUTURE OF GERMANY IS IMPORTANT POINT

San Francisco, Sept. 9.

The West's three top diplomats today turned their attention from the Pacific to the Atlantic on the matter of defence against Red aggression. Mr Andrei Gromyko of Russia planned to leave the site of the Japanese peace conference for Moscow. What he would tell Stalin and the Politburo, about his defeat here and what might be done about it elsewhere will unfold later...

To meet any new threats in Europe, the Secretary of State, Mr Dean Acheson, the French Minister, M. Robert Schuman, and the British Foreign Secretary, Mr Herbert Morrison, began informal Big Three consultations aboard their transcontinental plane bound for Washington.

The problems ahead of the Foreign Ministers are every bit as difficult as those solved here in getting the Japanese peace treaty signed in the face of Soviet satellite threats of "new war."

Germany, prime . target (of) Red expansion, will be the chief subject discussed this Week in Washington by the Blg Three: The Allies want to dispose of the German occupa- tion status in favour of a new political arrangement almost on the lines of a peace treaty.
