LVI, No. 107 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1946 PRICE FIVE CENTS Iran, Soviet AgreeI On Oil Firm Plan Evacuatiai Date Set For Red roops By The Associated Press TEHERAN, April 5-Iran and Rus- sia agreed today on initial plans for a Soviet-Persion oil company, set a deadline for evacuation of Russian troops, and earmarked troublesome Azerbaijan province as an "internal" problem for Iran to settle "in benevo- lent spirit." Heavy Russian artillery, tanks and armored vehicles by the score moved northward today across the Soviet- Iranian frontier at the Caspian sea- port of Astara. In Teheran there was general rejoicing and relief over the day's developments. Prince Mozaffar Firouz, director of propaganda, said that the negotia- tions settled "all outstanding ques- tions between the two countries on a basis of complete reciprocity and good will." Three Point Agreement No treaty was signed, he said, but the three-point agreement was an- nounced in a communique signed by Premier Ahmed Qavam and Soviet Ambassador Ivan Sadchikov. The three points are: 1. Red army troops will evacuate all Iranian territory within one and one half months from March 24, 1946. 2. An agreement for formation of a joint Iranian-Soviet oil company and its terms will be submitted to the 15th Majlis (parliament) for its ap- proval within seven months after March 24. 3, With regard to Azerbaijan, since it is an internal Iranian affair, peace- ful arrangements will be made be- tween the government, and the peo- ple of Azerbaijan for carrying out of improvements, in accordance with the existing laws and in benevolent spirit toward the people of Azerbaijan." (Word of the new agreement was received with obvious caution by dip- lomats of the United Nations in New York, where yesterday the Security Council had voted to postpone fur- ther discussions of the Iranian issue until May 6.) Firouz Explains Oil Plan Firouz explained that in regard to formation of the oil company "only an agreement in principle was reached, and details will be worked out later subject, of course, to ap- proval of the Parliament." The term of the last Iranian par- liament expired on March 11, and no new elections can be held, according to the Iranian constitution, while for- eign troops remain in the country. Firouz said that an election would be called "as soon as the evacuation is completed, which according to the agreement is May 6." Iranian Plain Surprises UN Situation Viewed with General Satisfaction NEW YORK, April 5-01P-Rus- sia's new agreement with Iran, open- ing the door to Iranian oil to the Soviet Union, apparently caught the United Nations Security Council by surprise today, but there was a gen- eral disposition in UN circles to view the overall picture with satisfaction. Furthermore, there was immedi- ate speculation that the negotiations in Teheran, which obviously were going on while the council debated the ques.tion of Russian troops in Iran, was the real answer to the rid- die of why Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko insisted on delaying the Iranian matter until April 10-and then walked out when the council voted against him, It now becomes apparent that Russia, Iran and the Security Council have achieved their aims in this man- ner: 1. Russia will have access, along with the United States and Great Britain, to Iranian oil, since the new agreement provides formation of a joint Iranian-Soviet oil company. 2. Iran has unqualified promises from Russia to pull the Red Arrny out of Iran by May 6. 3. The Security Council succeeded in making clear to the small nations of the world that they can come be- fore the new world peace agency and be heard on a basis of equality with the big powers. Debate ou NAMFPlair To Be Held Today, The national labor policy proposed by the National Association of Man- He declared that the Iranian cabi- net "gave unanimous approval" to the communique announcing the agreement. He emphasized that no formal treaty was signed, saying "no question of treaty existed." Firouz commented that the Azer- baijan problem would be worked out with the autonomous government on the "understanding that certain so- cial and economic reforms will be started throughout the country" He said he was glad to express the "satisfaction with which the Persian government and people interpret this happy event, which we hope will bring about a new era in relations be- tween the Persianand the Russian people.
