Dildine North Atnoricon Nowtpopor Allionco TEHERAN, IRAN, Sept. 28 (By Airmail).—American prestige in this strategic sector of the Soviet fringe has been edging downward for months. In recent weeks it has taken a nosedive to its lowest point since the end of World War n. To people at home this may not seem very important. There are This is tho first of a series ef articles by a staff member ef the Cleveland Main Dealer who is mak ing a year's study of Iran and Pakistan as a fellow of the Reid Foundation. only a few hundred Americans in Iran. American business interests in what was formerly Persia are relatively small, and the American Nation has never had any strong interest in making history in this part of the World. However, it is highly important to the world at large, as American influence is the only force that can effectively combat Communist, propaganda in the Middle East. Efforts on the part of our diplo mats to speed economic aid to Iran, in the form of Export-Import Bank loans and "point 4” alloca tions. are a little like locking the bam door after the horse is stolen. Even more ineffectual are efforts to recover ground lost through fumbling public-relations tech nique. Four Factors Cited. Four principal factors have com bined, over the months, to send American prestige tobogganing. They are: 1. Return of the. Shah Moham med Reza Pahlevi from his American trip of last winter with none of the help in form of loans or grants for which his widely publicized journey had aroused such strong hopes in Iran. The excursion itself cost the Iranian treasury a handsome sum. 2. Complete lack, thus far, of any economic assistance, in spite of multiple studies by American experts, especially since the advent of Ambassador Henry F. Grady, under whose direction the aid pro gram in Greece was unfolded. Recently renewed promises of as sistance have been received here with cynical shrugs. Only concrete aid up to now has been military— Some second-hand equipment bought at bargain-counter prices and a substantial direct grant in material now on the way. 3. War in Korea, initially a heavy -blow to American prestige because of setbacks and still a strong mark against us here be cause the leftwing press labels us as aggressors every time a weary1 United Nations battalion recovers a bit of lost ground. 4. Soviet-initiated trade nego titiations, which have dragged on for weeks and which might be dropped like a hot potato by Mos-1 cow as soon as their current propaganda value is worn out, but which have been invested with enough liveliness and verisimili tude to arouse the hope and en thusiasm of trade-hungry Iranians to a high pitch. Do Nothing But Study. As to economic aid, the Iranians point to the millions doled out to Marshall Plan countries, former enemies among them, and to ex tensive help to Greece and next door Turkey with whom Iran was formally linked in policy by the Joint Bevin-Acheson statement of several months ago. They also point to the succes sion of American missions sent here to study the country’s eco nomic needs and complain that Americans do nothing but study. The latest of these study groups, from the Export-Import Bank, has Just returned to the United States, and American diplomats here are striving to get a loan from this bank before the ground is entirely cut from under our prestige. “The loan will be the cornerstone of the economic aid contemplated for Iran,” our em bassy announced. However, the amount of the initial loan, as yet undisclosed, is not likely to be above $25 million, according to informed reports. Iranians have been wishfully ex pecting four or five times that much, and a loan of this figure may damage American standing as much as no loan at all. People here quivered with indignation at recent news of a $150 million loan to Mexico. Progress of the Korean war has been accompanied here by a strong Moscow “peace offensive.” An organization called Iranian Partisans for Peace was formed under the nominal leadership of an elderty author of odes in praise of Iranian - Soviet friendship, Malek-o-Shoara (King of the Poets) Bahar. “Peace” Petition Circulated. This group, together with mem bers of the Iranian-Soviet Cultu ral Relations Society and of the outlawed Tudeh (Communist) Party, has been busily circulating copies of the cynical “Stockholm Peace Petition.” This document is circulated in two forms. One, on fine paper, handsomely written in flowing. 1 MOM!

The Swedish government felt it necessary to issue a denial here that the peti tion had anything to do with Stockholm or Sweden. Meanwhile, the campaign against American “aggression” goes on full blast on Radio Mos cow’s Iranian program, in the secretly printed and highly popu lar Tudeh Party paper, Mardom, and in the flourishing fellow traveler press of Teheran.
