November in a complaint to the
Soviet Union. This complaint was
the same as that presented to the

refuted" the Iranian charges in its
reply of November rs. The note
said the Iranian government, in an
other message December /, "ex-
pressed Its satisfaction" that Soviet
ofnclals were not interfering in

2. Equally in contradiction with
reality" is the statement of the
Iranian delegation that efforts to

Presence Of Troops Upheld.
3. The presence of Soviet troops
on Iranian soil is legitimate, as Iran
gave permission in the Soviet Iran
ian treaty of February 26, 1921, and
the Soviet-British- Iraniap treaties
OF 1912. Events in Azerbaijan have
no connection with the presence of
Soviet trops there. These events are
a demonstration of the population
for national autonomy. ~
4. Propaganda hostile to the Soviet
Union is growing stronger in Iran
and des not differ from Fascist
propaganda. "Antidemocratic and
pogrom activity" by reactionary
forces, influential ruling classes and
police authorities in Iran create for
Azerbaijan and Baku "a danger of
organized hostile action" which
cannot be tolerated." However. the
Soviet Union believes such ques-
tionS can and should be settled by
direct negotiations.
S. International peace and Sc
curity are not threatened and the
Iranian appeal, therefore, is with

Returns To Action
Historic Jap Volcano
Sprays Dust On Homes
Two Thousand Families Prepare To Flee
As evident Eruptions" Follow Two
Explosions; Marines On Alert

TOKYO, March 17.-P)-Minami
Dake, historic Japanese volcano
which created the Isle of Sakura
lima and then joined it to South
ern Kyushu, has returned to action
and is spraying the surrounding
countryside with dust and ashes.
Japanese newspaper accounts
from the scene, three miles across
Kagosaima bay from the city OF
Kagoshima, describe the new
activity as "a violent eruption
and report that some 1000 families
are preparing to flee the vicinity.
Strong Explosions
The Tokyo paper Mainichi said
there were two strong explosions
Friday night and that lava was
pouring from the crater amid
bursts of flame.

phia, duty officer of the First Bat.
talon, Eighth U. S. Marine Regi-
ment, stationed at Kagoshima, re.
ported by telephone Sunday that
he did not yet regard the present
activity as an "eruptioh," and that
the marines had received no calls
for assistance. He said the vol.
cano had been blowing smoke anc
rumbling since mid-February te
the accompaniment of small ex'
plosions.
Ashes Dissolved
Frequently rains dissolve the
ashes, which fall as mud in kago
shima, he said.
The start Of the activity coin
cides with the first observation
Feb. IA of new volcanic isle
which has been rising from the sea
some 200 miles South of Honshu.
Sakura lima has long history
with 26 recorded eruptions since
1853. Jirna (island) has been
misnomer since 1914 when a violen
eruption linked it with the main
land, forming a peninsula.
Beauty Spot
The 3,752-foot double cone, r1s
ing from the bay is a natura
beauty spot, famed before the wa
as a health resort. More than 10,
600 persons live in hamlets which
dot the gentle slopes. Oranges
and tobacco thrive in the volcanic
soil.
Kagoshima, due west across TIT

and port now occupied by small
