By Crosby S. Noyes

At the height of the Iranian oil
crisis last week, while yelling
crowds surged through Teheran's
streets and smashed property of
the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co., a
strange, emaciated figure got up
to speak before the Iranian Par
lament.
The speaker looked as though
ne belonged in a sick-bed, and, in
fact, he had just come from one.
Inside his loose-fitting blue suit,
his knees trembled as he spoke.
The lights of the chamber
cleaned on his massive bald
skull. A pair of sorrowful eyes
dominated the long. sagging.
parchmentlike face. Anxious aides
stood nearby to catch him If he
fell.
Parliament members comment
ed to each other on how well Pre-
mier Mohammed Mossadegh was
looking on that crucial day they
hadn't seen him much lately. In
recent weeks he had rarely left his
barren quarters on the second
floor of the parliament building.
Emergency cabinet meetings had
been held at his bedside. There,
too, had come the ambassadors of
Britain and America, to plead the
cause of the free world in the tur-
moil of exploding Iranian nation
alisn1.
His appearance this day was
caused by crisis. There was talk
that the Iranian parliament had
lost some of its enthusiasm for
his violent program for expropri-
ating Trans oil industry.
What Mohammed Mossadegh
had to say didn't sound at all like

studied these questions. the easier
lit found them to wonder about.
But the harder it found them to
worry about.
BY the weeks end, the United
States showed no more disposition
to drag its feet. Carefully, in
close consultation with its Allies,
lit began the moves which, before
VERY long, might bring the fighting
to a halt. Gen. Ridgway was
Instructed to start making ar
Irangements to meet with the
other side. At pm. Friday, he
began broadcasting. to the un-
named Commander in Chief,
Communist Forces in Korea" He
proposed that he and his opposite
number select representatives to
meet abroad the Danish hospital
ship Jutlandia in Red-held Won
san harbor to discuss an armistice.
Then, as sporadic fighting con-
tinued. the free world settled back
to await the outcome.
Doubts and Questions
There were still big doubts and
big questions. The whole thing
might be a stall, to gain time for
reinforcement of the battered
Communist forces. while the politi-
cal issues in Korea-which must
be faced in the end, and which
looked as insoluble as ever-were
hashed and rehashed at the con-
ference table. It might be that,
| in agreeing to talk to the Chinese
military leaders as volunteers,
the U. N. was sanctioning a a.Com-
munist fiction which ultimately
would prove embarrassing.
All in all, however, the chances
of advancing the cause of peace
a little looked bright enough to
warrant the risk of a little embar-
rasSment. The one thing which
could not be risked, of course, was
any relaxation of the preparedness
drive which seemed at last to be
paying off-any letdown of the
buildup of power which, everybody
knew, had produced Russia's peace
move, whatever it meant.

fire." he said, should involve only
the military arrangements to stop
the fighting and insure against its
renewal. The political issues
involved can then be appro-
priately discussed in the compe-
| tent organs Of the U. NJ"
The two biggest questions posed
by the Russian olive branch were
these: /. Was the offer genuine?
Did Russia, in other words. really
want peace In Korea? 2. Was
Russia speaking for Red China
too?
AS the week progressed, the evil
dence-though still far from con-
clusive-began to suggest some
answers.
With all due allowance for the
devious techniques of Soviet prop
aganda, for instance, Western
officials could only conclude that
the strange behavior of the Rus
sian press was an indication that
Moscow meant business.

At Tullahoma, Tenn, on Mon
day. President Truman had made
a speech dedicating the Air Force S

distorted quotations lifted from
American editorial pages.
Why, it was asked, would the

figure who so clearly holds the
fate Of Iran, and possibly of the
whole free world, in his shaky
hands. The American public
knows him only by his determina-
ton to kick the British out of his
country. and his habit of leaving
public appearances feet first.
Like the oil seizure which he
fathered, Mossadegh is a creature
of paradoxes. One Of the wealth.

most hermitlike existence. The
salary he receives as Premier
goes to charity. Much of his

The Kirk -Gromyko conversation
cast an interesting light on the
second big question puzzling the
West: Was Mr.. Malik speaking
for the Red Chinese? Not so, said
the Deputy Foreign Minister-he
had no idea what Peiping's reac-
|tion to Russia's move might be.
While this disclaimer was taken
with the customary grain Of salt

strangely to bear out the idea
that the Malik speech may have
caught Red China by surprise

Timidity in West

Some people seem impressed by
the shrewdnesS and ability of the
Soviet diplomats. But on a care

1914 it appears that the Russians
have not been particularly clever.
They were merely smart enough
to take advantage of the unim-
aginative and timid Western Dip

Molotov became nervous. The
next day the Soviet newspapers

invaluable American help. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had a good laugh.
But the State Department was
horror-stricken and warned the
President that the Ambassador
would make our relations with
Moscow impossible"
Admiral Standley's knuckles

thereafter he was recalled. His
successor, w. Averell Hartman,

The activities of Soviet diplo-

accumulated more success than
Moscow ever dreamed of. This IS
not due to any particular skill On
their part. They are playing power

game which neither the peoples
of Asia nor we ourselves quite un-
derstand. And in that particular
part of the world we have been
outplayed and greatly outsmarted.
But it has not been the. bril-

over the Western nations have had
much deeper effects than is gen.
orally known in this country.
In the past the governments of
the Middle East were never too
close to the scene of operations OF
the Western diplomats. They saw
results. but never discovered the
weaknesses in Western behavior.
Now all these countries are equals
with the West in the United Ma
tions. Their representatives have
had an opportunity to see West
ern diplomats at work. And it
has not been a particularly in
spring sight.
Last fall they saw the arrogant
delegation sent from Peiping TO
New York being treated with ut
most courtesy, in spite of it's
charges OF American misdeeds in
Formosa. To an oriental mind
such courtesy represented rank
weakness.
They heard the Soviet and sat-
elite delegates taunt the Western
nations and poke fun at their
leaders in manner so insulting
that none of the Middle Eastern
governments would have tolerated
their continued presence, regard
less Of what international agree
ments existed.
Watched Korean Diplomacy
They saw the Western diplo-
mats try to induce the Chinese
aggressors in Korea to accept
peace terms which were tanta-
mount to a United Nations sur
render. They had first-hand ex.
perience in these negotiations, be-
cause they formed the unsuccess-
full truce team" entrusted with
settlement of the Korean war
after the Chinese Communists
joined the fight.
The tlmorouS ana vacillating
policies of the top Western ma
tions and their avowed fear Of
provoking Russia were duly re-
ported to the respective Moslem
governments and gave their lead
ers food for thought. There was
Russia. Immediately adjacent to
or near their borders. Britain,
the erstwhile staunch opponent Of
Russian expansions, appeared
weak and shaky. America was far
away and was not particularly in
terested in an area in which our
British ally was still claiming
priority rights.
Now we not only may have lost
the 1ranian oil supplies, but are
running a serious risk of losing
the rest of the Middle Eastern
nations, which are of utmost i'm
portance to us in the present
shaky peace, as they will be in a
shooting war. At the same time
it is not entirely improbable that
Britain may become involved in
a campaign in Iran-if the Rus
slams wish to push her into a war
IN that country. And on the basis
of existing treaties with our Brit
lsh allies we shall not be able to
escape similar involvement.
So far. neither in Korea nor in
Iran have the Russians used any
Fof their organized military
forces. They merely pressed some
buttons in the Kremlin to move
the North Koreans and the Chi
nese Communists into a shooting
war against us and some. our
Allies. They have employed
diplomacy to make Iran, a here
tofore friendly nation, definitely
hostile toward the West.
