OPPORTUNITIES IN PERSIA
EXPLAINED BY MINISTER
Representative Here Would Estab-
lish Technical and Financial
Relations With America.

Mira Hussein Khan Alai, envoy
extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary from Persia to the United
States. who recently arrived in
Washington, today told in an inter-
view Of plans his country has of
opening up technical and financial
relations with the United States.
The Persian minister, educated in
England and a student of American
affairs, is personally as well as Off
cially interested in friendly relations
between his native land and this
country for mutual advantage.
The present government and parlia-
ment of Persia are again, after more
inactivity, most desirous of opening
up the country by obtaining technical
and financial assistance from Amer
ica," he explained
"They feel that the government and
citizens of the United States, who are
distinguished both by their spirit and
enterprise and their humanitarian de-
sire for the welfare of all nations.
will not hesitate to extend, in the
hour of need, the hand of friendship
to their own kith and kin in Asia.
"a great opportunity is offered to
you to profitably invest your capital
in a big country rich in oil and other
minerals, peopled by a. sober, intelli-
gent and Industrious nation, earnest
ly desirous to have your help in
money and advisers for the develop
ment of their country, knowing that
you are the only politically disinter-
ested state that has the means and
ability to help them"
The minister concluded with the
statement that it is a mistake to sup
pose that Persia has an inclination
to be dominated by Moscow or by
any other neighbor. "She ardentiy
desires the safeguarding of her COM
plete independence and the respect
of the open door and equal oppor-
tunity for all nations in ASIA" he

ON FARM TARIFF
IS ANTICIPATED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The sem
ate made real progress in it's con-
sideration of the Fordney emergency

At the close of the days work,
Senator McCumber, republican, North
Dakota, in charge of the bill, said
prospects were good for vote to-
morrow. A vote tonight had been
the. object of supporters of the bill
but they were thwarted by series
of speeches, some extremely heated,
which DELAYED action on amendments.
After it became apparent that final
action on the bill CO 1 not be had
tonight, Mr.. McCumber sought to
conclude consideration Of all COM
mittee amendments. This plan, like
wise, suffered defeat
Among the amendments accepted
by the senate was the substitute su-
gar schedule proposed by Senator
Smoot, republican, Utah. for that
agreed upon by the committee. The
Smoot amendment would place the
tariff at one cent per pond in addi-
tion to the present duty of the same
amount, while the committee amend
ment to the house bill would have
added approximately three cents a
pound to the present rate.
The other amendments adopted by
the senate void provide rates as
follows: Butter and butter substi-
tutes, eight cents per pound; cheese
and cheese substitutes. % per cent
