Iran Denies
Joining Of Pact
|Defies Russia

TEHERAN. Iran. Oct. 13 (R.--I
Premier Hussein Ala denies eln-
|phatically that Iran defled Russia
by choosing to join the pro-
Western Baghdad pact.
The government announced
yesterday 1t had joined the pact,
|originally signed as a mutual
defense agreement by Iraq and
Turkey last February and later
adhered to by Britain and PAX
|istan.
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov, without waiting for any
thing more official than press
reports Of Trans action. warned
the Iranian Ambassador in Mos
COW that the step jeopardizedI
good neighborly relations be-
tween Russia and Iran.
The Premier told newsmenl
|Iranian adherence to the pact
was absolutely not' defiance oil
Russia and added:
"As It has been reiterated time
|and again, Iran's relations with
the Soviet Union are Of the
Ifriendliest nature. The pact Isl
definitely defensive, not agrees
Isiye. It is not directed against
the Soviet Union or any country" II
Regarded as Childish
Foreign Minister AbdullahI
Entezam, who is undergoing
medical treatment in Paris.
said Iranian aggression against
Russia ''is too puerile toI
think Of"
One Russian source in Tehe-
ran suggested that Russia might
test the alliance members dis
claimers OF anti-Soviet inten-
tions by herself offering to join
the alliance. This source added:
"If Russia Is permitted to join.
1t win prove that the pact is not
directed against her."
Mr.. Molotov charged Iran had
violated the 1921 Soviet -Iranian
treaty, which gives Soviet forces
permission to enter Iranian ter
ritory II the Middle East King
dom is used as a base by powers
attacking the Soviets.
Some Russian sources here
expressed fear that under the
| Baghdad pact, Iran might be-
come a military base operating
against Soviet interests. These
sources predicted that in such
an event. Moscow might invoke
the 1921 treaty again.
Iran Is Undeterred
None OF Russia's fulminations
deferred the government. Pre-
lmier Ala made q full report on
Trans participation in the pact
TO the Foreign Committee of the
Mails, lower house of Parlia-I
Iment. Then he submitted to the
Senate a single article. to which
the eight-clause Baghdad pact
was attached, and urged that
the Senator'S approve it at once.
An overwhelming majority Of
the Senators promised prompt
approval.
The United States State De-
lpartment hailed Trans joining
the alliance as a step promoting
peace and prosperity in the Mid
die East and in no way hostile
Ior threatening to anyone. There
have been indications the United
States also plans eventually to-
become associated with the pact.

to the Baghdad mutual defense
treaty touched OF long-range
blasts from Moscow and wash
ington.
In joining the pact. Iran en-
tered a mutual defense arrage-
ment with Turkey, Iraq. Pah-
stan and Great Britain.
In Moscow, Mr.. Molotov called
in the Iranian ambassador and
gave him a grave warning:
THE accession of Iran to this
military alignment is incom-
patible with the interests on con-
solidating peace and security in
the region Of the Middle and
Near East and contradicts the
good neighborly relations be-
tween Iran and the Soviet Union
and certain treaty obligations Of
Iran.p
The final phrase apparently
referred to the 1921 Soviet
Iranian friendship treaty which
gives the Soviet Union the right
to march into Iran If she con-
siders that Iran has become q
base for an attack on the So
Wet.
The Soviet Union consistently
has inteprepreted the Vests
military alliances as aggressive,
so the Soviet was. automatically,
within a step Of claiming the
right to enter Iran.
Counter Warning
Even before Mr.. Molotoy made
his statement to the Iranian Ann
bassador. however, the State De-
partment in Washington had pre-
pared a counter-warning that
carried as many implications as
the Soviet statement.
The State Department, alert
to the possibility Of a Soviet pass
at Iran, declared:
THE United States had had a
long-standing interest in the ter
ritorial integrity and sovereign
independence of Iran. That has
been amply demonstrated in the
past.
That interest remains a car
dinal feature Of United States
policy and assures that the
United States will not wayer
IN its demonstrated purpose
to assist Iran and other
free nations which are making
their own determined efforts to
achieve defense strength and eco
nomic and social progress"
In other words, the United
States was saying with added
force: Russia, stay out"
American officials were dis
couraged that the Soviet Union
should be in such a trouble-
making role on the eve of the
Geneva conference of Foreign
Ministers.
The situation offered no en-
couragement for hopes that the
Geneva meeting could accom-
plish substantial improvements
In East-WeSt relations.
There was some speculation
here. however. that the Soviet
bloc never really intended to de.
liver arms to the Middle East.
The Soviet offers, according to
this speculative thesis, was In.
tended merely to create a bar
gaining weapon for the Soviet
Union.
That is. when the West be-
comes sufficiently alarmed at the
possible flow Of arms to Arabs
and Israelis. the Communists
might offer to hold I'D the sales
in return for favors from the
West.
If this is a Soviet trap, then the
West is falling into it. for the
diplomats on this side of the
Iron Curtain seem almost unani-
nous in expressing the deepest
resentment and alarm at the Red
offers to sell arms in an area the
United States had been trying
to stabilize.

The Western move, 1t was said

Tensions Increasing
In side conferences. however
the West is determined to war;
Mr.. Molotov anew that worlc
tensions are increasing because
of indications that the Sovie'
bloc is willing to sell arms to
series OF Arab countries and, per.
haps, to Israel, too.
British Foreign Minister
Harold G. Macmillan may take
the lead in expressing the Vests
protests. At a dinner in New

hope that other countries would

Since then. however, the situ-
alton in the Middle East has
grown more tense. Egypt is
going ahead with arrangements
for the purchase Of Communist
arms. the Soviet seems to have
put out feelers on the possible

the United States and Russia

warnings over Trans adherence

Israel caused the most puzzle.
ment here.
Caution at State
Such indications came first
from Israeli sources. They were
strengthened by State Depart.
ment Spokesman Henry Suydan
when he cautiously announced:
1.-THE (State) Department ha.
some information indicating thai
the Soviet bloc may be makinl

to Israel"
Mr.. Suydam said the infor.
nation was recent" He de,
clined to say whether the United
States obtained the information
from Israel.
In recent years, the Sovie
Union has been playing pals with
the Arabs, although Moscow
originally supported the estab,
lishment of a Jewish state IL
Palestine.
American officials believe thai
la Soviet arms offer to Israel
too, would expose the Russian
|maneuvering in the Middle East
as an undeniable attempt to
stir up trouble in the area.
In the American view, the
Soviet for years has been trying
to SOW trouble in the Middle
East. possibly in the hope that a
fresh outbreak Of fighting might
give Communists a chance to
'expend their influence in an area
where the West now obtains vast
strategic and oil benefits.
