ton over the dispute.
The question comes up for fur
ther debate this afternoon at
Flushing Meadow At that time
Trans aged and ailing Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh will state
his views officially on the British
resolution. The proposal merely
called upon the two parties to the
dispute to seek settlement
through direct negotiations and to
refrain from any action which
might aggravate the situation.
Called Internal Question.
Iran contends the matter is an
internal question and therefore
not within the jurisdiction of the

Mr.. Fatemi repeated earlier
statements that the Iranian gov

tiate with the British on two ques-
tions:
Compensation for a British in
vestment in the nationalized
Anglo -Iranian Oil Co., and the
possible purchase Of oil by Britain.
The Iranian Premier made his
first appearance before a jammed
Council session yesterday. He
spoke for almost Is minutes in
forceful, emphatic French before
turning over to an aide the bur-
den of his hour-long argument
that Britain has exploited the
South Iran oil fields. and that the
oil dispute is no business of the
Security Council.
For the crowded chamber and
the American television audience, :,
Mr.. Mossadegh displayed none of
the emotional outbursts which
characterize his speeches at home.
He read his prepared statement
slowly and calmly. There was not
a tear, not a faint.
