(EDITOR'S NOTE: Two Univer-
sity students from Iran have de-
scribed the life in their home coun-
try to Daily International Reporter
Barbara Pash. This is their story,
though they have asked to remain
anonymous.)
By BARBARA PASH
There is no democracy in Iran,
only dictatorship, two Iranian stu-
dents at the University agreed.
Although the governmental sys-
tem is based on a constitutional
monarchy, in reality this is not
practiced. "Shah Mohammed Reza
Pahlaevi rules by decree. We have
not had an election in one and a
half years. Therefore, his govern-
ment is unlawful," the first stu-
dent declared.
"The Shah is isolated from the
people; he confines his activities
to a select group of trusted co-
horts," the second student noted.

zj

The Shah is afraid to be among
the people unguarded.
Feudal Outlook
"He does not care about the real
welfare of the people, and his
outlook toward his subjects is a
feudal one," the second student
noted.
The Shah and his hand-picked
government have cleverly tricked
the United States into providing
moire foreign aid than is necessary.
"If the income from the oil indus-
try was used wisely and efficiently,
Iran would not need nearly as
much aid from abroad," the first
student explained. Most of the
American aid has been stolen by
corrupt elements in the govern-
ment and deposited in Swiss banks.
"It is an interesting fact that
every prime minister who comes to
power by the Shah's influence has
been able to send money abroad,

Wardrobe in two parts

tA

and they have all gone abroadf
after retirement from office. The
sum of money in Swiss banks frome
this corruption is probably overr
half a billion dollars," the first
student continued.
Communists Insignificant I
At the moment the CommunistI
party in Iran is insignificant. "Aft-
er 1953, the Shah killed all Com-
munists in order to appease the
Americans, or possibly just to have
some fun," the second student ob-
served. There has never been a
large Communist party in Iran.F
However, the Shah brands dis-f
loyal elements as Communists, us-I
ing this as an excuse for further
purges. By this method, he also
focuses world (and especiallyf
American) attention on the sup-
posedly definite and imminent
danger of a Communist take-over
in Iran. "This is to milk more
money from the United States,"
both students agreed. ts
"I cannot understand why Amer-
ica, with its Central Intelligence
Agency, was not aware of this sit-
uation previously," the first stu-
dent said. Americans have come
to realize that their money (for-
eign aid to Iran since 1956 has
been approximately one-half bil-
lion dollars) has been totallyE
wasted. Now the United States has
reduced its aid to Iran, and is re-
quiring that certain stipulationsi
be met before giving more money.
Needs United States Aid
The Shah's power in office is
supported by two major elements
-United States money and the ar-
my. "The Shah needs American
help to stay in power, and since
his main concern is to remain in
office, he is willing to make token
gestures to America," the second
student affirmed.
An example of a "token gesture"
which has been swallowed by the
American press is the widely pub-
licized land reforms presently tak-
ing place in Iran.
Iranian peasants, who comprise
the majority of the population, live
on a subsistence level. The agri-
cultural system is antiquated. Al-
though small private ownership of
land is legally allowed, in practice
more than 50 per cent of the land
is in the hands of large landown-
ers. These landowners often con-
trol many villages (a village may
comprise 100 to 5,000 people).
Purchase Land
The distribution policy enables
the. government to purchase land
from large land owners. "The
landowner is forced to comply with
the distribution laws. The law al-
lows him to retain a minimum of
one village. If he has more than
one vilage, the rest are redistrib-
uted," the second student explain-
ed.
Although there are no laws re-
stricting movement of social class-
es on the economic and social lad-
der, a definite class system exists
in Iran.
Concerned with Subsistence
"The peasants are concerned
mainly with subsistence; they do
not actively support the Shah, al-
though they have been trained in
the traditional idea of obeying au-
thority," the second student ob-
served.
The main hope for the peasant
is education, but there is a scarci-
ty of schools and teachers in the
villages. The peasant, having no
contact with education is unable
to rise economically and tends to
remain in a servile position.
Despite these difficulties, edu-
cation is progressing in Iran. "This
worries the government and that
is why they have recently institut-
ed tuition fees in colleges and high
schools. Previously, education was

free. There are only about seven
or eight universities in the whole
country," the first student com-
mented.
Vocal Criticism
The educated class does not sup-
port the Shah either, but they
have been more vocal in their cri-
ticisms. "There is a National
Front, which was forced under-
ground by the persecution of the
government," the second student
declared.
The aims of this organization
are to establish a constitutional
monarchy, with a shah (not nec-
essarily Mohammed Reza Pahlevi).
However, the shah must remain
neutral, and there must be a sep-
aration of powers between the
executive and legislative branches
of the government.
"We now have in Iran a situa-
tion which is ridiculous. The sep-
aration of powers mentioned in
the constitution is not followed.
We had two recent elections which
were hopelessly rigged, and both
were canceled by student demon-
strations. The Shah now has a
rubber-stamp government.
Rampant Corruption
"His decrees do not benefit the
people, and corruption in high gov-
ernmental places goes directly to
the Shah himself. The first thing
we want to do is to get rid of this
corruption and inefficiency," the
first student explained.
"The main reason the Shah can-
not give the people a free govern-
ment is because he would then be
open to inspection," the second
student replied.
"The National Front is against
changing the present constitution,
but if the Shah is continually
breaking it, and it seems to be
rather hopeless that he will re-
form, then there is no alternative
to regicide," the first student not-
ed.
There is no Bill of Rights in
Iran, but a strict censorship of
radio, television, newspapers and
magazines exists.
Secret Police
The Shah has complete power
over the secret police, and it is
"his specialty-he would not re-
main in power long without it,'
the second student commented.
The secret police watches the lives
of Iranian citizens very closely and
has the power to imprison and
execute people without benefit of a
The army, mentioned above as
one of the bastions of, the Shah.
comes under the surveillance of
the secret police also. "Unloyal ele-
ments among the officers are
eliminated, hence high-ranking of-
ficers are all 100 per cent loyal to
the Shah," the first student ex-
plained. The major portion of the
army is illiterate and has been
trained to obey orders without ask-
ing why.
"The Shah must keep the army
contented, and thus most of the
budget is alloted to the army. Iran-
ians feel that the main purpose
of the army is to keep the Shah
in power," the first student con-
tinued.
"The only basis for an army re-
volt would come from the younger
generation of educated men who
have entered the army, but. few of
the educated class wish to serve
in this organization for more than
the required two years," the sec-
ond student added.
As to the future of Iran, both
students noted that if there aren't
some popular changes soon, Com-
munism would find very fertile
ground for its propoganda. How-
ever, Iranians do not want -this
type of solution-what they really
desire is to have a fair and effi-
cient government:
