Universal Training
Urged by ForrestaI
AT House Hearing
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
told the House Military Affairs
Committee today the United States
must be prepared ito fight any in
ternational ruffian who attempts to
impose his will on the world by
force"
The Secretary said he did not be-
heve discovery of the atomic bomb
has lessened the need for universal
training.
Supporting President Truman's
request for one year of compulsory
peacetime military training, Mr.
Forrestal said proponents of the
plan frequently are asked whom we
are preparing to fight
That we are prepared to fight any
would-be aggressor, he said, 1--WE
should make clear, by deeds as
well as by words, to any dreamer
anywhere who may be scheming for
world domination"
THE world now must know with
equal conviction that, much as we
hate war, we are ready to wage swift
and effective war against any nation
which tries to overthrow rule by law
and justice, replacing it with rule by
force" he added.
If the United States returns "to
the comfortable complacency which
for 20 years practically extended an
invitation to Mussolini, Hitler and
the Japanese war lords to run the
world if they chose to, we scracely
deserve to survive as a nation" he
declared.
Mr.. Forrestal said he believed the
men who fought the recent war for
the United States would be per-
ponderately in favor of universal
military training" because they do
not want another war for themselves
or for their children.
Nor would the training program
conflict with the United Nations
Organization, he asserted, but on
the contrary would demonstrate this
country's willingness "to accept her
responsibilities in underwriting the
peace"

the Iranians already have COM
planned of restrictions on their free
dom and independence and pre-
sumably may continue their COM
plants until the United Nations
Organization meets formally in
London in January. At that time
Iran would have an opportunity, if
she still were of the same mind, to
bring formal charges against Russia.
Red Army forces occupy the north
ern section of the little Middle East
ern country and British troops the
southern section. American forces
operated railroad and truck lines in
Iran during the war for lease-lend
deliveries from the Persian Gulf to
Russia, but most of the Americans
have been pulled out.
Iran Is Testing Ground.
Iran is critical testing ground
whether or not it becomes a specific
issue for the United Nations Here
are principal big power interests in
the country:
l. The British Navy gets much of
its petroleum from Iran, and Ameri-
can oil interests sought concessions
there during the war. This effort
was dropped when the Iranian gov
ernment said it would not grant any
war time concessions after Russia
had demanded comparable rights in
the northern military zone.
2. Iran is a bridge or a wall, de-
pending on it's political complexion,
between Southern Russia and the
Persian Gulf with its connections
with worldwide shipping routes. In
this respect the country may very
well figure in Moscows plans for
securing permanent outlets to the
sea.
3. AS frontier between the Soviet
Union and the British Empire, Iran
probably has its greatest immediate
Importance in relation to Turkey,
which again involves Russia's ira
ditiopal efforts to get secure sea
approaches. Iran touches Turkish
territories for which the Russians
have entered claim on the grounds
that they actually belong to Russia
traditionally. This in turn is be-
Geved by diplomats here to be
linked with the Soviet Unions real
objective of securing practical domi-
nation of the Dardenelles Straits.
Reds Battled Forces.
American officials suspect that
those factors may be the real in
terests underlying the revolt about
10 days ago of wild tribesmen and
other elements in Azerbaijan. The
government at Teheran tried to
move in four battalions of troops
and police to strengthen it's garri-
sons in the revolt area, but reported
1t had been unable to do so be-
cause of Red Army objection.
Secretary of State Byrnes sought
information from the American
Embassy at Teheran, but found that
the Embassy could not communi-
cate with its consular representa-
tive in the rebellious area. 1t was
then that the decision was made
to appeal directly to Russia for a
report.

dispatch from Teheran yesterday
