New Year resolutions have long
been a common practice of human
ity-and the brunt of a million
jokes.
Neither fact is too surprising. Man
always has been eager enough to
make promises to himself and to
others, just as he has been quick to
criticize his own weakness when he
fails to follow through.
Yet there are always reasons
why resolutions fail. True. they
might have been made with all
seriousness, but still be lacking in
strength of perseverance. The fallen
resolutions are always those that

today, signed by the Anglo-Iran-
ian Oil Co. of London, warning

possible customer for the oil which
Iran is attempting to take over by
naturalization.
The advertisements said:
"The company is aware that the.
Iranian government, ignoring de
liberately its solemn obligations
toward the company as well as the
recent ruling Of the international
Court, is trying to find market
for its oil and gasoline. 49,.
"The company points out that
no oil company of sound repute.
no oil carrier nor tanker group,
and no accredited agents would
encourage in any way this illegal
action of the Iranian government.
However, should any organiza-
ton or individual enter into COM
mercial agreement with the
Iranian government for dealings
in oil gasoline, they are advised in
advance that this company will
take all necessary steps to safe
guard its legal interests and
rights" -
