Russia Expects to Get Complete Control
Of Persian Oil and Bar Supply to West

given the usual treatment"
He had a talk with President
Truman, visited the Detroit
automobile plants, spent 48
hours in Hollywood and got the
usual VIP reception in New
York. But he returned home a
disappointed man. He had no
complaint about his reception,
which had been perfect. But he
had obtained nothing but the
vaguest promises of help for his
country.
On his return to Teheran he
gave his prime minister the
green light to go ahead with
negotiations with Russia. Mos
COW showed interest and as q
starter returned to the Iranian
government a quantity Of gold
which the Russians had pill
fered during the war. A COM
mercial treaty was negotiated
and was ratified early this year.
Meanwhile, Washington, alert
ed by the cabled reported from
our ambassador in Teheran, de-
cided to act. The suppression
Of the Voice Of America by the
Razmara administration was
the first major sign that some
thing had gone wrong. A por-
tion of the promised military
equipment was rushed, belatedly,
to Iran. The Teheran govern
ment showed little enthusiasm
when our tanks and guns finally
reached the Iranian ports.
Stalin's work had gone sue
cessfully. The propaganda that
the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. had
become q state within a state
gained ground rapidly. The
Razmara government, faced
with a choice between a pos
sible armed conflict with Russia
and accepting Moscow's eco
nomic demand for free access
to its vast oil resources, decided
on the latter.
Stalin's thoughtful gifts on
the occasion of the Shah's we'd
ding were a definite indication.

IF the Lord is good to u.s."
said Gen. Marshall to the Sen
ate committee, land we are
spared the outbreak in the
immediate future of a general
war, we have a prolonged ten
sion facing us-just how long
each one can judge for himself.
I would say possibly almost a
decade"
A decade. Ten years. Even
if we escape general war we
must be fully prepared for one,
in Marshall's opinion. for 10
years. Many students of world
affairs think the period will be
longer, much longer. Few think
it will be shorter.
That means that little boys
of 8, now in the second or
third grade-if they are in
school at all-can expect in due
time to be members of our
armed forces. They can, that
is, if they are qualified. Which
means, among other things, if
they are sufficiently educated.
The armed forces will not want
them otherwise. In World War
II the Selective Service System
rejected $4,000 men for edu-
cational deficiencies.
In some countries this might
not have been done. It doubt
less is not being done in Red
China now. But we cannot
emulate the Chinese in their
practice of sending great masses
Of men up against modern
weapons to be slaughtered like
sheep. For one thing, we have
not got the masses of men. Our
population is limited and our
soldiers have to be better SOL
diers, man for man, than our
enemy's. They have to be bet
ter educated.

Preparedness Being Despoi|ed

on which so much toll has been
expended. Mr.. Kilday is pro-
posing to postpone drafting l8-
year-olds. He is asking for six
months training. He protests
removing the ceiling on women
in the armed services precisely
at the time when the basic deci-
sion should be made that
women are not luxury but an
asset to their country. The pro-
vision to allow $4,000 students
who would first have four
months basic training and then
in the end serve % months-is
under attack.
A skillful job of recruiting
prejudices is being done in the
House committee until the
whole structure of the bill is
threatened.
Mrs. Rosenberg recounts what
it means: No safety margin for
the planned Army, so no defer
ments for married men, for men
to dispose of their businesses
or for farm labor; increased call
of reserves, a poorer quality
Army, in the end fewer techni-
clans, etc., etc.
The mayhem goes on in
closed session, naturally; 1t
would be a real risk to the per-
petrators if they pushed it in
open debate on the floor of the
House, where the facts can be
argued.

Iran Leaning Toward Moscow

insofar as the Teheran govern
ment was concerned, that the
Kremlin's promise not to re-
move him from his throne and
to give the Iranian government
q large degree of freedom were
not empty gestures.
The latest reports from Te-
heran show that under public
pressure" Premier Razmara in
sists on Trans freedom to
handle its own oil interests. He
has started negotiations with
the Anglo Persian Oil Co. for
recognition Of Trans rights in
the Southern Iranian oil fields.
These are not expected to sue
ceed, however.
Mass meetings, inspired by
the Soviet embassy with the
tacit consent of the govern
ment. are being held through
out the country. The partici-
pants demand naturalization
of Trans oil wealth. The Mails
(parliament) has taken up the
hue and cry and presses the
government for such a meas
ure, under the slogan that the
country's wealth belongs to the
people and not to an exploit
ing foreign oil company"
Naturalization Of these oil
fields cannot be successfully op-
posed by the British govern
ment. which itself has nation
allied its own vital industries.
But the sequel to nationaliza-
tion in Iran is expected to be an
agreement with the U. 8. s. r.
under which Russia will be
granted the same kind of con-
troll over the Iranian fields as
she possesses in the exploita-
ton of the economic resources
of Poland, Czechoslovakia and
other European satellite coun-
tries, namely. a 81 per cent
share in a joint company.
Russia will not have to use
force to get the vital Iranian
oil resources. without which it
cannot fight another war sue
cessfully.

Dorothy Thompson:

Or. Kurt Schumacher, leader
of the Social Democratic op-
position in West Germany, has
counselled that the West Ger
man government commit itself
no further on rearmament but
in company with the Western
powers insure alderman elec-
tions on unity before a Coun-
Gil of Foreign Ministers meets.
The Adenauer government
(also the Western Allies ap-
parently want to continue re-
armament but are lukewarm
to national elections, doubling
the ultimate value of any ar
rangement on unity, and be-
lieving it would mean long de-
lay in German tntegration with
the West.
Now, German integration
with the West. in terms of par
ticipation in a European army
certainly will mean, in the best
case, permanent German divi-
sion. 1t certainly will mean the
continued building up of an
East German military force
completely integrated with the
Communist forces on and be-
yond the German eastern bor-
ders. Once that die has been
cast, the only possibility for the
German people, within their
greatly reduced frontiers, ever
to reunite is through war on
the initiative of the East Ger
man army and its military
allies, or through the powerful
political weapon that the de-
sire for unity offers the Com
munists.
The Bonn government has
internal reasons for chilliness
toward unification. Even If
achieved by absolutely free elec-
tions, unification would change
the composition of Chancellor
Adenauer's government. They
might increase the Communist
representation. But no one who
has studied the situation thinks
Communism would, in really
free elections. win anything
near a majority even among
the relatively small minority of
German voters in the east zone.
j, DR.. Adenauer's party would,
however, be reduced. It largely
depends on the Catholic, con-
servative voters. East Germany

David Lowrence:

Two very bad precedentS have
been recorded in the last few
days which can rise to plague
the whole defense effort.
One is walkout on the Wage
Sterilization Board aimed real
ly at the absence of a labor man
at the top level in the defense
mobilization Office. Even though
the Government has gone to the
only place where it could pos
sibly go to find management
ability to supervise the produ-
tion program for defense, labor
thinks this management func-
tion must somehow be divided
and an equal voice given to
labor.
The other precedent is a re-
pudiation of signatures affixed
by the presidents Of four rail-
road unions at a White House
conference with mediator Steel
man and the claim that no
union agreement is valid un-
less ratified by another group of
representatives with presum-
ably higher authority.
This opens the way for man
agement representatives to do
the same thing. They, too, ap-
parently now can sign agree
ments and, If their higher Off
cials don't like them, cry out
that the agreements were only
tentative" and subject to rati-
fication.
Thus board of directors of
a big corporation can upset the
applicant by claiming that the
president of a company either
exceeded his authority or that
he was acting only on the as
sumption that his board of di-
rectors would later have
chance to approve or disap-
prove. ConceivabW the way is
open to stockholders to go still
further and by their vote re-
ject an agreement approved by
a board of directors.
The truth of the matter Is
that collective. bargaining is
doomed If it runs up against

Saw Logs Exempt From Price Conlroi in '5t

JUNEAU-Saw logs produced in Alaska and consumed by AL aska's saw mills are exempt from price control until December si. 1851 Fred C. Hanford, Territorial Director of the office of Price Stabilization announced. The ex- emption was effective August 3i.
 Alaskan logs have been subject 10 control under the general cell ing price regulation. which froze logs at the highest level existing between December ig. le5O-Janu- ary 26, 1851.
 Since the logging industry is virtually imperative at that time the normal season runs from May to November-many opera tors found it impossible to deter mine ceiling prices for the cur rent season.
 The result has been a curtail- ment of production of saw logs Tn Alaska. To remedy the situa- ton and encourage production, OPS. decided to remove controls for the balance of the season.

SERVICES MUST FILE AND POST PRICES

Several drastic changes in Of flee of Price Stabilization regula- tions will be put into effect in Alaska during the month of Sep- tember.
 Although Alaskans can look for no reduction in prices, the changes will enable OPS. to keep closer check on prevailing prices and insure against unwar- ranted increases.
 ' Latest congressional action pro- hlbits rolling back prices, but fu- ture increases on nearly all con- modities at all levels will be care fully scrutinized by OPS. to as- certain if such increases are with in the regulations. -
 One important change in the regulations. is the requirement that all sellers of services file their price lists. with the Terri torial Office of Price Stabiliza- tion. Services Must File and Post Prices!
 Specific types of businesses af- fected are laundries, cleaning and pressing shops, bowling alleys, funeral homes, transfer and stor- age businesses, auto repair and all other types of repair shops which charge the customer an hourly rate.
 Since all businesses of this na- prices they charged during the ture have been frozen to the same period December 19, 195O-Janu- ary 26, 1851, this means they now

Union Sells Fish Cheap To Compete With Japs

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-Fisher- men, bitter about the importation of frozen fish from Japan, Satur- day offered their tuna catches to the public at 25 cents a pound. This was 24 to 40 cents under the current retail price.
 The fishermen's union, affilia- ted with Harry Bridges Ware house and Longshore Union, took advertising space in the city pa- perS to tell their story.
 They turned their union hall, at Fishermen's Wharf, into a retail market.
 Much frozen tuna is being inn ported from Japan by Pacific coast cannerS. The fishermen had urged that 15 percent tariff be imposed on such imports.

 Wilson said recent rains had raised reservoir levels enough to assure hydroelectric power for aluminium plants at the moment and sufficiently into the future to render the transfer of potlines from the northwest uneconomical at this time" Potlines are alumni mum production plants. Aluminium is one of the metals in strongest demand in defense production.
