Murder in The Moslllle

i

l 1:

Several weeks ago Iran's Premier. Gent oral Ali Razmara, was murdered on the dooistep of the mosque where he had gone to worship. Ilis untimely end was the work of Communists. Excuse for the crime was Razmara's resistance to the Iranian Parliament's scheme to nationalize the oil fields of thc Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. An ominous silence appears to pervade the Iranian "incident."

Now, it appears. the State Department in Washington is taking a hand in the af- fair. Washington. it seems, is fearful lest the British take too strong a line with Iran and precipitate a second local war in the Near East to match that at present. raging in Korea. What the official British reaction to American intervention may be is not yet clear. Certain it is that it will not be wel- comed in Whitehall, where experience in the affairs of the Near East is vastly great- er than that of Washington.

The issue in Iran is simple. It is oil. Russia covets Iranian oil deposits because of the vulnerability of her own fields in the Caucasus. Britain and W0stCl'll EUYOPC need Iranian oil for defence and rearm- ament. The United States wants to avoid at all costs the development of a situation which would push Iran. even in the econ- omic scnsc, into the arms of Stalin.

Paradox of the problem lies in the fact that Russia is relying upon stirring up na- tionalist anti-foreign sentiment in Iran to achieve ilcr objectives. The Iranian Par- liament, which is made up almost exclusive- ly of wealthy landowners. is availing it- self of the opportunity to enrich its mem- bers at the expense of the British, and pretending to justify its action as being in the interests of the people of Iran. The British are embarrassed because the con- trolling interest in the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company is held by His Majesty's Govern- ment in the United Kingdom. and any sign of weakness in handling the situation will inevitably be seized upon by the political opposition as a ”sell-out” not only ;of :4 British Company, bLlt of the British tax- paycrs' moncy investment.

Murder in the Mosque promises to pre- sent one of the most complex diplomatic problems ever to confront the experts of the British Foreign Office.

The Franchise

t

Islanders have exceptional voting priv- iicgcs. Not only have all British subjects resident here twelve months, two months in the constituency, except Indians. a vote for an asscmblyman but freehold or lease- hold property to the value of d325 gives the additional right to vote for councillor to the owner and spouse. Active service outside of Canada with the armed forces or auxiliary forces in either war also con- fers a single vote for councillor.

As possession of land to the value of 39100 or other qualification for the property vote also confers a vote for assemblyman it is theoretically possible for an elector to cast thirty ballots.

There are no official clcctoral lists but the place of voting may be found from the instructions published by the Returning Officer.

qualifications. If the voter is still object- ed to, the ballot will be identified with a number, but may be cast.

The D. R. 0. numbers the counterfeit, his initials being already on it and the ballot or ballots, and gives it to the voter with instructions. An accidentally spoiled ballot may be exchanged for a fresh one. The voter, unless blind or otherwise need- ing assistance, marks the ballot alone in the booth, folds it as instructed and hands it to the D; R. 0. who teats off the count- erfoil and, drops the still folded ballot In. the box.

Predictions that milk would be dumped on the farms and dairy cattle slaughtered for food were made by K. L. Wallace, pres-' ident of the Dairy Industries Supply As- sociation, speaking at a meeting of the as- sociation. He predicted 'a shortage of milk in 1951 because of the shortage of farm labour and the high price of beef. He added that reports from sixty important makers of separatorssand other prime dairy industry requisites indicated that half of them would have to shut down by midsum- mer for lack of nickel, stainless steel, cop-

The Duke of Wellington was not co-operative. As he once remarked to Mrs. Norton: "I have been much exposed to authors." He discour- aged anyone who wished to get down to the truth about Waterloo. "Remember," he would remark, "I recommend to you to leave the battle of Waterloo u it is."

Better, he thought, that the whole trvh be not known. "Be- lieve me," he cautioned, "that. ev- ery man you see in a military uni- form is not a hero; and that. al- though ln the account given of 3 general action. such as that of Waterloo, many instances of indiv- idual heroism must. be passed over unrelated, it in better for the gen- eral iniercsts to leave those parts of the story untold, than to tell the whole truth."
