U. S. Entertains Iran's Shah
While Ambassador Covers Up

WASHINGTON—While the Shah of Iran (Persia) was
royally entertained in the United States, his Ambassador
admitted that Jews were being kicked out of Iran.
Ambassador Hussein Ala's explanation was a classic.
It seems that because Iraq persecuted Iranian business-
men (including Jews) , Iran was forced to retaliate by the
the sight of him. U. S. and Ir-
anian flags flew side by side. A
skiing party was organized in
his honor at Sun Valley. State
Department men catered to his
every whim.
\But the question was, "Mr.
Shah, how about human rights
in your country? You are en-
joying the hospitality of a na-
tion made up of people who
fled foreign persecution. No
group of foreigners was ever
expelled from America as a
`reprisal' measure."
Perhaps the Shah would take
this question home with him.
He sought our money but maybe
he would take home some ideals
more precious than money.
