By Edward Curtis

LONDON, May 17 - (AP) - Britain made a new bid through diplomatic ohannils today to save her rich oil concession in Iran- ; prize in the East-West cold war. Tho Laibor Government. sent a firm note to Tehran which in- ffJl'illf'd sources said offered to send a high-level mission to talk i)l'el' possible compromises that would avert nationalization of the lingo Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. The British note was dispatch- ed to British Ambassador Si: lirancis She-pherd, in Tehran. Be- cause tomorrow is Friday, the Mosiem Sabbath, it may not be delivered to the Iranian Govern- aimt until Saturday.

Possibility of Force

Informed sources said the note contained no hint that Britain would use force, if necessary, to protect the 8,000 Britons and the multl-million-dollar properties of the company in Southern Iran.

But that possibility already has been made clear. Britainls War Office. normally reluctant to dis- close even minor troop movements, let slip last week-end that 4,000 paratroops were being prepared for 'an emergency.

The War Office still hasn't said if, when or where they will be used. Observers, however. im- medialely linked the alert with the Iranian situation and Iranian newspapers played it up as a threat of armed action against that country.

A National Front deputy. Abol- hassan Haerizadeh, told Iran's Parliament in Tehran today that British pressure on Iran would touch off a. third world war. He is a member of the little party which engineered passage of the nationalization law and sealed the party leader, Mohammed Mossa- degh, in the premiership.

Canadian Barley Acreage Up, Wheat Down

b'rrAwA, May 11 -'ci;p; ..

26,000,000 acres of wheat this year, down 1,000,000 acres frdm ,',last year's 27,000,000, the Bureau of Statistics reported today.

In this first report of the farmer's planting intentions, the Bureau noted greater emphasis is being given to seeding of coarse grains.

In all of Canada, farmers tend to seed 12,000,000 acres oats, compared acres last year.

Barley acreage is estimated at 7,074,000. about 1,000,000 acres higher than last year's 6,661,000,

in- to

and rye at 1.242.000 acres, com- pared with l.l6'I,000 in 1950. Flaxseed (linseed) acreage is

placed at 1,045,000, compared with 547,000.

Soviet Pltdesis Disregarded In Speedy Action

NEW YORK. May 17-(CP) - -The 60-member United Nations Ipolitical committee today recom- mended a world-wide embargo against supply of strategic war materials to Communist China rind North Korea.

The committee disregarded Russian objections to move with rare speed in passing, by a vote of 45 to 0. the resolution which

aims at helping to end the Kor- ean wnr. Nine countries ab- ataincd.

They were Afghanistan. Burma, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Indonesia. Pakistan, Sweden and Syria.

The Soviet bloc did not partici- pate in the vote. Their objec- tions indicated that Russia-larg- est supplier of Communist China -will ignore the embargo.

Canada bricked the embargo- most extensive in history. The League of Nations ordered sanc- tions against Italy in the 1935 war with Ethlopln but oil was not included and the embargo was unsuccessful.

Quick final ratification of the U. N. proposal was expected to- morrow at a meeting of the 60- nntion General Assembly.

Russian delegate Jakob Malik argued that discussion of an em- bargo by the political committee was illegal: that the Security Council was the only U. N. body which could discuss such a prob- lem. The rest of the committee

ignored the objection .of Malik and the four other Soviet-bloc representatives and the Soviet

delegate then said he would take no part in the debate.

OTTAWA, ' May 17 A (GP)- Condltions in Canada's salt-fish industry do not justify general price support for the product. Fisheries Minister Mayhew told the Commons today.

While turning down proposals for in general price-support pro- gram-specificialiy for Newfound- land salt cod-he indicated some "local relief" might be provided for places where fishermen's re- turns prove poor.

The government provided fin- ancial aid last year for Now- fouridland salt fish. buying some nsold 1949 fish for distribution through international roller agencies and guaranteeing Lab- rador fishermen a price of 07 a quintni.

the Newfoundland industry. All the 1949 and 1950 catch had been sold, and advance sales were being made on fish still un- caught. 1

Mr. Mayhew said general gov- ernment policy towards the fishery is to place it on a stable basis by helping the development of mod- ern techniques. .

"Federal assistance in these directions, rather than prices sup- port. will rebound to the long- run benefit of the fishermen and their families as well as to alithe coastal communities." he said.

He said recommendations for achieving a better-balanced fish- ing industry new are being pre- pared by Federal-Provincial de- velopment committees, while the Federal Government is aiding auuuaa ' ” of that salted and fresh and froaen fish trades in the east.

Aid For Di-aggers

One of these steps. previously announced, was the extension of federal istance towards the con- structlo of fishing draggors and long-lino vessels. Originally ap- plicablo to the Maritimea, this aid now was available to Quebec and the Magdalen Islands. It ould be made available to Newt ndland by an agreement with the Pro- vincial Government.

Through arrangement with the United Klnldom Government. ar- rangements had been made for the dollar sale of Newfoundland salt cod to some European count- ries. This was announced by Mr. Mayhow a in dpya ago.

The Minister announced today that arrangements also have been made for the sale of "oupo-our- ad" salt fish to Italy for dollars. This is a type of flan produced in Cape, Que.

VICTORIA, B. C.. May 17-(OPT -The destroyer Athabaskan came home today. It was the last of three Canadian warships which left here in last July for Korean waters.

There was ll. tumultuous wel- come for the little fighting ship as she slid into the naval harbor at Esquimalt to the accompaniment of ships' whistles. navy bands and cheers from families of crew mem- bers nhd visitors.

Right on the dot of 2:30 p. m.. the scheduled time for arrival, the trim ship. her braaswork and fresh paint glistening in the af- ternoon sun, rounded the Duntze Head saluting base.

It was a typical naval welcome. the same accorded H.M.C.S. Sioux and Cayuga on their return from the Korean war.

Wives crowded to the dock's edge as the Athabaskan slid close. There were tears of happiness in many eyes. '

From Defence Minister Claxton came this message:

"Welcome home," he wired. "We in Canada are proud of the fine operational record you and your men have established whilst rep- resenting Canada with the United

Destroyer Athabaskan Home From The Far East

and men a well-earned leave.”

At the saluting base Rear-Ad- miral W. B. Creery. chief of the Pacific Command. took the salute.

with him were Cmdr. H. E. W. Patterson, representing Lieuten- ani-Governor Clarence Wallace

and Capt. D. J. Proudfoot, who represented Premier Byron John- son.

On her Korean patrol the Athnbaskan travelled more than 35.000 miles, patrolling for enemy blockade runners and participat- ing with U. N. forces in bombard- ing shore defences and in patrol of deadly mine fields.

Tragedy almost marred the homecoming today of the Atha- baskan.
