TALKS CONTINUE
IRAN AND ALLIES
HOPE FOR QUICK END TO
OPERATIONS
LONDON, August 27. The Premier of Iran, Ali Mansoor, told an extraordinary session of the Iranian Parliament that the Government was continuing conversations with Britain and the Soviet in an endeavour to clarify the reasons and objects of their transgressions. The diplomatic correspondent of The Times" says it is hard to imagine hat anything the Shah might now ;ay or propose could hold up military Dperations at this stage. He and his Government had every opportunity to turn out the German "fifth column" during the weeks of fruitless representations from London and Moscow. Iran has. too great a strategic value and is too rich in oil for Britain and Russia to take further risks. •The "Daily Telegraph" says that if reports that the Iranians are offering only token resistance is confirmed, there will be every_.reason to hope that the Allied operations will be successfully concluded by the weekend. Many reports are current in neutral countries that the Iran Government is anxious to come to terms with Britain and Russia.
