AGREEMENT

United Nations satisfactory
settlement that actually gets the
Red Army out of the strategic oil
rich country.
That one would be the request OF
the United States for report from
Russia and Iran on the progress
of direct negotiations to settle
their difficulties.
It is in this connection that the
proposal is being forwarded by
some of the leaders here to have
the Russo-Iranian agreement in
cluded in whatever reports the
Russians and Iranians make. That
would allow the Security Council
to pass upon it, expressing approx
nj or disapproval, and also to see
in a manner to equalize the diff
ferences in size of Iran and Rus
sia-that it was fairly and prompt
ly carried out.
Secretary Of State James F.
Byrnes will welcome the Security
Council, as the first United Ma
tons agency here, to its home in
the United States at a speech at
Mondays scheduled 2:30 p. m.
opening. He will deliver a message
from President Truman.
r. Flies To New York
In obvious good humor, Byrnes
flew in from Washington late Sun
day. Indications from his aides
were that he planned no immediate
conference with other national
representatives here, but that he
would follow Iranian developments
closely.
He answered all queries from
newsmen with "No comment" and
an explanation that he had nothing
to say.
Byrnes intends to argue the Iran
ian case before the Council to
whatever extent, it has to be
argued, while Edward R. Stet
tinius, Jr., American permanent
representative, will handle al
other business. At the momen.
there are only two items on the
Councils agenda besides Iran
Both have to do with working ou1
rules OF procedure, and specia
committees in each case are no
ready to report. Thus that much
OF the agenda may be cleared ur
