taken another step toward re-
suming normal diplomatic rela-

Britain is ready to accept the
principle of naturalization of
its vast oil interests in Iran pro-
vided Iran pays adequate COM
pensation.
The statement had direct
bearing on an assertion by Trans
Foreign Minister Abdullah En-
team who said in Teheran ear
lier in the day: 1--WE do not ex-
pect to solve the oil problem
completely before establishing
diplomatic relations. If the
British agree on the principles,
I see no objection to re-estab-
fishing relations"
Mr.. Entezam did not elabor-
ate on what he would include
in the principles"
In answer to a question in the
House of Commons. Secretary
Eden replied that Britain sis
prepared to recognize the princi-
pie of naturalization of oil in

the basis of justice and equity,

Belgian Lower House
Ratifies edo Treaty
For European Army

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Nov. 26.
The lower house of the Belgian
Parliament today ratified the
European Defense Community
treaty which provides for a six
nation European army to resist
the threat of Communist ag-
gresSion.
In addition, the treaty has
been ratified by both houses Of
the West German Parliament,
and the lower house of the
Netherlands Parliament. France,
Italy and Luxembourg, the other
members of the treaty alliance,
have not yet acted.
The vote in the Belgian House
OF Representatives was 148 to 49
with three abstentions.
Rare Grouping of Forces.
A rare grouping of Socialist
and Liberal opposition forces
with the Social Christian ma
jority provided the big vote of
approval. The Senate may COM
plete action on the treaty just
before Christmas.
EDO would put a half million
West Germans in uniform as
part of the six-nation army.
French lawmakers have been
reluctant to ratify the treaty
on the grounds it does not pro-
vide sufficient guarantees against
revival of German militarism.
The French National Assembly
has been engaged in bitter de-

policy with EDO the major is

Yesterday Premier Joseph La

stake its life on a resolution
which gives only indirect support

the vote is taken tomorrow.
This would affect the Big
