only a few hundred Americans in
Iran. American business interests
IN what was formerly Persia are
relatively small. and the American
Nation has never had any strong
interest in making history in this
part Of the World.
However, 1t is highly important
to the world at large, as American
influence is the only force that
can effectively combat Communist
propaganda in the Middle East.
Efforts on the part Of our diplo-
mats to speed economic aid to
Iran, in the form of Export Import
Bank loans and point 4" alloca-
tions, are little like locking the
barn door after the horse Is stolen.
Even more Intellectual are efforts
to recover ground lost through
fumbling public relations tech
nique.
Four Factors Cited.
-Four principal factors have COM
bined, over the months, to send
American prestige tobogganing.
They are:
l. Return of the Shah Moham-
med Reza Pahlevi from his
American trip of last winter with
none of the help in form Of loans
or grants for which his widely
publicized journey had aroused
such strong hopes in Iran. The
excursion itself cost the Iranian
treasury a handsome sum.
2. Complete lack. thus far, of
any economic assistance, in spite
OF multiple studies by American
experts. especially since the advent
of Ambassador Henry F. Grady,
under whose direction the aid pro-
gram in Greece was unfolded.
Recently renewed promises of as
Sistance have been received here
with cynical shrugs. Only concrete
aid up to now has been military
Some secondhand equipment
bought at bargain-counter prices
and substantial direct grant in
material now on the way.
8. War in Korea, initially a
heavy blow to American prestige
because Of setbacks and still a
strong mark against us here be-
cause the leftwing press labels us
as aggressors every time a weary

cow as soon as their current
propaganda value is worn out, but
which have been invested with
enough liveliness and verisimili-
tude to arouse the hope and en-
thusiasm of trade-hungry Iranians
to high pitch.
Do Nothing But Study.
AS to economic aid, the Iranians
point to the millions doled out tc
Marshall Plan countries, former
enemies among them, and to ex-
tensive help to Greece and next
door Turkey with whom Iran was
formally linked in policy by the
Joint Bevin-Acheson statement Of
several months ago.
They also point to the success
sion of American missions sent
here to study the country's eco-
nomic needs and complain that
Americans do nothing but study
The latest Of these study groups
from the Export-Import Bank,
has just returned to the United
States. and American diplomats
here are striving to get a loan
from this bank before the ground
is entirely cut from under our
prestige. 'The loan will be the
cornerstone of the economic aid
contemplated for Iran," our en-
basSy announced.
However, the amount of the
initial loan. as yet undisclosed, is
not likely to be above $25 million,
according to informed reports.
Iranians have been wishfully ex-
pecting four or five times that
much. and a loan of this figure
