MosCow's PLEDGE

In Outer Mongolia Moscow
made documentary pledge that
the sovereignty of China was
not questioned and would be re-
spected.
In Persia or Iran, Moscow re-
portedly frankly admits Soviet
sympathy within the revolution
aries and for autonomy within
the framework Of the Persian
state
If Teheran falls, the northern
half. if not all OF Persia, will be-
come closely affiliated with and
perhaps allied with Soviet Russia,
as has been the case IN Outer
Mongolia and as may happen IN
Manchuria.
That would bring the Russian
imperialistic dream of an outlet
on the Persian Gulf close TO reali-
zatieh.
II also would endanger Britains s
great oil fields in Persia near the
gulf.
Both London and Washington
have been flying to take refuge
in the United Nations in the grow
ing clash between the two worlds
of the east and west.
NOT LEANING ON UNO
Soviet Russia is relying upon
herself and not leaning or the
United Nations Organization
which is still in its very infancy
and which may be put to test
for which its strength. at this
stage, is not sufficient.
