OIL SALE AGREEMENT

ANNOUNCED

London, Sept. 16.

Dr Mossadegh, the Persian Prime Minister, broadcasting to the nation tonight declared that he and his Government would accept no compro- mise in the oil dispute with Britain so long as he enjoyed the support of the people and Parliament. He said that the Shah had appointed his Government, with the backing of the whole people, to see through the nationalisation of the country's oil industry,

He said that the people had shown in this great national struggle that they were conscious of the country's glorious past and the future generations would think with pride of their brave forebears who shunned no sacrifices to obtain the fulfilment of their rights.

estimate of what he understands

to be a revised joint Anglo-US policy vis-a-vis the Far East cannot fail to arouse interest among the Colony's trading community. Visualised is 'nn encouragement by Washington and London of the resumption of commerce between Japan and the China main- land. The proposition is that such a development should be held out as in inlucement for the Chinese Reds to use their influence towards bringing about an end to the fighting in Korea, followed by an adjusted peace, the terms of which would offer reasonable prospects of

suggested permanency. It is

that

pence in Korea and the reopening of trade between Japan and China would bring immediate beneficial results to Hongkong. the inference being that restrictive trading regulations now imposed on and against the Colony would be withdrawn. Our correspondent appears to be quoting long-term views. While pence in Koren is conceivable, Present indications are hot encouraging. And neither Washington nor London ould actively support the resumption commercial relations between Japan and Red China while the Peking Government

Unknown, also, is Peking's attitude to the question of trading with Japan; whether Peking desires any sort of lateral treaty with her late enemy, Japan, it may be assumed, would not be averse to an agreement which would Frmit her to re-win some of the China tanrket. But it requires two to make a contract, and Peking's propaganda line to date suggests lack of interest in the proposition of a separate treaty. In assessing the prospects of success of the 20-cuffed new Anglo-American Far East policy, it has to be appreciated. that

their readily forgive or forget exclusion from the San Francisco conference. The Chinese Reds, in consequence,, will more likely resist, rather than welcome, overtures from Washington and London to accept the prospects of mutually advantageous trading relations with Japan as bargaining counter for achieving a negotiated peace in Korea. It would be unwise to regard the developments envisaged by our correspondent with too much optimism. On the other hand, should they materialise, Hongkong could anticipate a fairly rapid improve- ment in her commerce and industry. On the one hand it would be feasible for the United States to withdraw many or all of her export restrictions directed against the Colony; on the other, our industrialists could reasonably hope that Japan would divert her competition in manufactured exports from the markets which Hongkong's indus- trialists are strenuously endeavouring. to develop. The first prerequisite is peace in Korea, which, it is generally

The second is willingness on the part of Japan and Communist China to conclude a treaty which, let It be remembered, must be within the. framework of the San Francisco ngree- ment and in keeping with the United Nations charter. If the prospects are at the moment dim, encouragement and satisfaction can be derived from the hint that Britain and the United States are moving nearer together formulating a common policy to bo applied in the Far East.

The blue eyes of Monika Heissler, a three year-old orphan, widened with wonder at the end of a fairy-tale journey. She jumped from a train in Stockholm and on Central Station she found a crowd awaiting to wel come her to Sweden. The fairy-tale began a few weeks ago in Salzburg. Monika met Karl Johann Bernadotte, son of the King of Sweden and once a Prince. He and his wife decided to adopt her. Soon Monika will join the Bernadottes at a villa in Salts- jobaden, 13 miles from Stockholm. She will have a brother, too, an adopted orphan named Christian.-- Express.
