Envoy Promises Iran
li. 5. Aid in Resisting
Red Pressure for Oil
TEHERAN, Iran, Sept. 12.—Amer
ican Ambassador George V. Allen
sought to counter Russian pressure
for oil concessions from Iran yes
terday with the declaration that the
United States has “dedicated its full
energy and resources to free people
of the world from fear of aggres
sion.” Iranians, he declared, “may
rest assured that the American
people will support fully their free
dom to make their own choice.”
The Ambassador’s statement, made
at the end of a speech prepared for
delivery before the Iran-American
Relations Society and distributed to
the local and foreign press, appar
ently was an answer to widely re
peated appeals by many Iranian
officials for a specific statement of
American policy to offset growing
Soviet radio and press attacks on
Iran.
A member of Parliament said
Wednesday he no longer was so sure
Parliament would reject a proposed
agreement for a Russian oil conces
sion because of Soviet Ambassador
r> uiuiuaium& turn
threats." A proposed United States
military credit of $25,000,000 might
be turned down unless the State De
partment spoke out plainly, this
member said.
U. S. Embassy Regrets Note.
Mr. Allen’s statement also was
made shortly before it was officially
reported that a British note to the
government had recommended that
Iran not close the door on Russian
oil negotiations even though Parlia
ment rejects the projected conces
sion.
An American Embassy spokesman
expressed "regret” that the note had
been delivered, "not because of its
actual contents but because of its
probable effects on the Iranians,
who already are jittery over threats
of Russian aggression and who may
take the note as an indication that
they are not supported in their fight
to retain their national integrity.”
An attache to Prime Minister
Ahmed Qavam said the note was
delivered last week before British
Ambassador Le Rougetel left for a
London vacation.
Mr. Allen nowhere mentioned
Russia or the oil agreement in his
! speech, but his remarks were so
pointed they left no doubt of their
meaning.
He said the United States had no
"proper concern with proposals of
I commercial or any other nature
| made to Iran by a foreign govern
ment as long as those proposals are
advanced solely on their merits, to
stand or fall on their value to Iran.”
Won't Tolerate Threats.
Then in an apparent reference
to reports that Soviet Ambassador
Sadchikov had threatened Iran with
his country’s "bitter blood enmity”
unless the oil agreement is ap
proved, Mr. Allen continued:
“We and every other nation of
i the world do become concerned
i when such proposals are accom
Danied by threats of bitter enmity or
by statements that it would be dan
gerous for Iran to refuse. The
United States is firm in its convic
tion that any proposals made by
any sovereign government to an
other should not be accompanied
by threats or intimidation.”
“The United States has dedicated
its full energy and resources to
freeing the people of the world from
fear of aggression,” he concluded.
"Our determination to follow this
policy as regards Iran is as strong
as anywhere else in the world. This
purpose can be achieved to the ex
tent the Iranian people show de
termination to defend their own
sovereignty. Patriotic Iranians
when considering matters affecting
their national interest may there
fore rest assured that the American
people will support fully their free
dom to make their own choice.”

reductions” in export of coal from
the ports of New York, Philadelphia
I and Baltimore until Industrial stock
piles in the Northeastern States are
built up.
ODT officials said yesterday this
suggestion was givpn to Presidential
Assistant John R. Steelman for con
'ideration by the Secretary of Com
merce, who controls export licensing.
They said a ban on coal exports
through the Northeastern ports was
considered, but it was. decided to
propose only “some reduction” dur
ing a 30-day “breather period” to
permit larger coal deliveries to steel
mills and other big users in the in
dustrial centers.
These centers have been digging
into reserves recently because the
continuing coal car shortage has
held up their normal receipts from
the mines.
