Mossadegh here, mo new basi.
has emerged on which a prac-
ticable solution could be reached. ,
Will Stay Until Sunday.
A slim hope for some last
minute break in the deadlock was
raised by later announcement that
the 1ranlan Premier will stay on
in Washington until Sunday in
stead of leaving for home by air
tomorrow as he had planned.
The delay was explained by a
decision of Mr.. Mossadegh to visit
Egypt on his way back to Iran
Such visit foreshadowed efforts
to coordinate Iranian and Egyp-
tlon strategy in their conflicts with
Britain.
An Hanian Embassy spokesman
sald airline schedules would not
permit Mr.. MosSadegh to leave for
Egypt before Sunday. In New
York. the Royal Dutch Airlines
which flew the Iranian Premier
mere IN a chartered Constellation
said he also had arranged for a
chartered flight back. There was
no explanation why the chartered
flight could not leave tomorrow as
well as Sunday.
Financial Aid Sought.
In another development. Iranian
Deputy Prime Minister Hassein
Fatemi disclosed last night that
Mr.. Mossadegh made a personal
appeal to President Truman Sun
day for effective financial aid"
to tide his country over the eco
nomic crisis resulting from loss of
oil revenues.
Officials said that "in prin-
clple" a S25 million Export Import
Bank loan, negotiated more than
year ago, still is available to
Iran. But the Iranian govern
ment moved to accept the loan
formally only after development
OF the oil crisis with Britain. Now,
officials believe Iran will find it
difficult to satisfy bank require
ments for repayment of such a
loan. Separate discussions are
going On about this.
Recognizing Trans claim to
control over her own oil industry,
American officials seeking some
compromise have concentrated on
trying to get the Iranians and
British to agree to ARRANGEMENTS
providing for:
l. Some neutral" foreign tech
nical assistance to Iran in oil
production.
2. Realistic" compensation to
the British company for national
nation of the facilities it had de-
veloped.
3. Purchase of a major share of
1ranian production at fair
wholesale price by the Anglo
1raneS Oil D., T1r>n has the
ma3.ets ~H around the world
Mr.. Mossadegh is reported will
ing to negotiate most of these
points, but to be insisting on too
high price for the oil to be sold
Anglo-Iranian.
The text of the State Depart
ment's announcement yesterday
follows:
The United States Government
has taken advantage of the pres
ence in this country of Prime
Minister Mohammed Mossadegh
OF Iran to hold a series of dis.
cussions with him in which DOS.
sibilities have been explored of 9
settlement of the controversy
between Iran and Great Britain
concerning the Iranian oil in.
dustry.
During the past week the re.
suits Of these conversations have
been discussed with representa-.
tives of the British government
The purpose of these talks ha.
been to determine whether any
fresh basis could be found for {
settlement.
1.-The United States Government
has regretfully concluded that
while progress has been made, nj
new basis has emerged on which
a practicable solution could b.
reached. The United States con
tinues to hope, however, that th'
two parties will be able to f1nt
a mutually acceptable basis TO
a satisfactory settlement, and viii
continue to do everything possibl
to assist them to this end"
