Governments. & Community Auditorium, - ae ee Serene eo OOO THE IRANIAN KNOT Premier Mohammed Mossadegh of Iran recently won a minor victory in his fight against the British over oil nationalization in Iran, when a Venetian judge denied @ British motion for seizure of Iranian oil brought to Italy. The judge denied the motion on the ground that he had no competence to overrule Iranian nationalization. Though the British appealed the Venetian judge's decision immediately, that decision has been hailed in Iran |; Of course, the British can always resort to naval ac- “tion to shut off the flow of oil, though this isa resort to war, which the Allies wish to avoid. If the British can maintain their legal position, which has been challenged by the Venetian judge, the shipment of Iranian oil will actually be illegal and the British will have a right to seize such shipments, The international eeaction is important, and the de- cisions of judges in other countries have a direct bearing on Iranian policy. After the Venetian judge’s decision Premier Mossa- degh seemed to stiffen his opposition to the latest British proposal for a settlement and, in a radio address to the people of Iran, he expressed the belief that, by holding out against the British, Iran could win “a great national victory.” The result of the Venetian judge’s decision, the strengthening of Mossadegh’s opposition to the British proposal for a settlement (the principal being submission of the dispute to the World Court), is to make any early settlement of the Iranian oil dispute unlikely. The danger of a coup in Iran, or of a deterioration of the situation into one involving the use of force by Great Britain and Iran is therefore a continuing problem in the Middle East. No two lawyers agree on anything, it seems. What New Yorkers think is smart, on the stage, is not necessarily smart. There comes a time when a wearer of trousers is needed in every home.

(THE RIFT IN THE LUTE. by Noel Langley, Humorous novel, drawings by Regina Tor, publish- ed by Coward McCann, Inc., New York City.) y Now and then in the critical per- egrinations of a book column, the} Teviewer comes upon a_ novel which seems to have elements of greatness. The discovery is an ex- citing mee. This book’s dust jacket says the author's short stories have been Good Housekeeping and Saturday Evening Post. He has also done important film scipts for Holly- wood. But to this reviewer Mr. Langley was completely new, and his book a brilliant star among a lot of very dim ones. He manages to combine irony, wit, allegory and fantasy with an excellent story. And he puts it all down in some of the clearest and most effective prose this reviewer has read in a long time. The hero of the book is Lao-Ti, a Chinese Candide, who was born in the year of the amorous dragon in the province of Qui-Tung in the Middle Kingdom. A child of dispep- tics parents, when he was sixteen his mother died choking upon a fishbone while disparaging his fa- ther to the cook. The author’s device for getting Lao-Ti started on his Candidian travels is a capricious concubine. She refuses to marry the boy’s father unless he sends Lao-Ti away. Whereupon papa tell his son the gods were all thumbs when es out a series of platitudinous parental clinches of advice, and sends Lao-Ti on his way. And so the sixteen year old goes out into the world. He tangles with everything from a decadent young man, to a war lord sired by a ghoul; from an innocent and beau- tiful servant to a lascivous middle aged harlot. By placing his story in some an- cient Chinese yesterday in a neb- ulous middle kingdom, Mr. Lang- ley frees himself from the neces- sity of detailed contemporary or historical props. He places his in- nocent and youthful hero in a ser-| ies of fundamental human situa- tions as old as the good and evil} in man. He does not hesitate at; the same time to use tie license * A duce the supernatural. Because of | old men left for dead, arise again. A poetic story of innocence; abroad in the world told by a man/ with gayety and wisdom in his! heart and prose, the book is one} which should tive beyond this pub-; lisher’s year of 1953. | (MRS.

And immediately Mrs. Roo and her ‘charges begin to display the traditional’ biological pecularities for which they have become fa- mous. Mrs. Roo baby sits in a most original fashion. She takes the four. bunnies for a ride in her famed pouch. And no sooner has the lady kangaroo gone leaping over the trees and mountains, when the bunnies start multiplying When they stop for lunch in a field of carrots, the four bunnies have become eight bunnies, So Mrs. Roo is subjected to sev- eral indignities. The other ani- mals give her the very loud rasp- berry because of her unusual pouch cargo. Also the bunnies con- tinue to,multiply in an alarming fashions Hee pouch, fashioned by nature to carry a couple of deli- cate kangaroos also begins The devices of the author to get Mrs. Réo'dbg of these several em- barrassing fraps are rather arti- ficial. But’ everything turns out happily, even Mrs. Roo’s much abused pouch. (TWO REELS AND A CRANK by Albert E, Smith in collaboration with Phil A.
