to examine the dispute. They declared their right to appeal

replied agreeing that the dispute between the two Govern
ments should be referred to the Council of the League of
Nations instead of to the International Court at the Hague.
At the same time the British Government requested
the Secretary-General of the League to plnce the subject on
the agenda for an early hearing and provisional arrangements
were made by the League to deal with the matter on Tuesday the
20th December. The British Government hag presented its case
to the League, but according to the latest Keuter messap'es
the Persian Government have requested postponement on the
grounds that they could not possibly have their representa
tives in Geneva before the 26th of December.
There the matter rests at present.
Telegraphic information has been received from
Tehran that the notes exchanged with the British Government
were read in the Majliss by the Persian Minister of Foreign

own position. They had therefore cancelled the Concession
but in so doing they had no other intention except to reach
a new working basis which would be equitable to both parties.
He referred to foreign Press comments and alleged that they
misrepresented the facts adding that the Company would receive
Persian Government protection as heretofore unless intentional
damage was carried out by some one who might consider it
