Editor'! Note: Henry Shapiro, a vet
eran of more than 15 years in Moscow
as United Press manager, bas returned
to his assignment in the Soviet capital
after two years leave of absence dur
ing which he lectured on Russian af
fairs in the United States and under
took special study at Harvard Univer
sity. In the following dispatch, his
first since returning to Moscow, this
leading student of Soviet affairs points
up the extreme gravity with which
Russia regards Iran's accession to the
pro-Western Baghdad pact.
By HENRY SHAPIRO
United Press. Correspondent
Moscow (U.R) The Com
munist Party newspaper Pravda
charged today that Iran's acces
sion to the pro-Western Baghdad
pact- violates Iran's own agree
ments witn Russia.
One of these, the Soviet-Iran
ian treaty of 1921, provides Rus
sia the right to send its. troops
into neighboring Iran if Soviet
security is threatened from there
and Iran's government cannot
cope with this threat.
Diplomatic sources here fore
saw the theoretical possibility
that the Soviet Union might in
voke this 1921 treaty if it felt
its security threatened by Iran's
membership in the Baghdad
pact.
That Moscow considers itself
threatened was clearly and
sharply affirmed yesterday in
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov's
official protest to' Iran against
tne Baghdad pact.
This feeling was made more I
clear today in Pravda's three
column front page editorial con
taining one of the bitterest at
tacks on Western policy in the
Middle East in recent months.
Claims Violation
Pravda said Iran's accession
would constitute violation of the
two nations' 1927 treaty on guar
antees and neutrality.
The 1927 pact, supplemented
the 1921 treaty under which
Russia reserved the right to meet
any threat to its security with
in Iran's borders.
Iran formally notified Iraq
yesterday it intended to join the
Baghdad alliance. Iraq already
has mutual security treaties with
Pakistan an Turkey.
Pravda, the Communist Party's
most authoritative organ, char
acterized the Baghdad pact as an
"aggressive anti-Soviet military
grouping" and another link in a
chain of cold war measures like
NATO in Europe and SEATO in
Southeast Asia.
The editorial was published
less than a day after Communist
Party Leader Nikita S. Khrush
chev, urged the abolition of
NATO.
i Khrushchev proposed this to
Canadian External Affairs Min
ister Lester Pearson during their
talks yesterday with Soviet Pre
mier, Nikolai Bulganin in the
Crimea.
Attacks Iraq
Pravda coupled its attack on
Iran with an attack on Iraq
which it described as a "lick
spittle" of Middle East colon
izers. Pravda said Iran's World War
II neutrality helped the nation
avoid catastrophe and that "if
Iran's neutral position served
national interests in the past, it
does so even more in the present."
Siskiyou Clarifies
Prison Labor Plan
Yreka, Calif. A member
of the Siskiyou county board of
supervisors declared this week
that the board has no intention
of using jail prisoners on con
struction work requiring special
trades' experience.
. The statement, by Supervisor
Don Avery,, followed protests by
organized labor against use of
prisoner' labor for construction
of ' a jail administration build
ing. . ,
Avery' indicated that prison
er labor would be on a volunteer
basis and he said' such use is in
accord with policies intended to
aid prisoners to keep busy as an
aid to their physical well-being
and rehabilitation. . '
A representative of the Car
penters and Building Trades un
ion had' appeared before the
board recently to protest use of
jail labor as a violation of the
California state labor code..
The Soviet and Britain occu
pied Iran in August, 1941, to pre
vent German infiltration of the
oil-rich country that became one
of the major stations on the
U.S. lend-lease supply line. The
action was taken under terms
of the 1921 treaty. .
In Washington, U.S. strategists
said the United States does not
expect Russia to take direct
action against Iran for joining
the defense pact but is remain
ing alert to the possibility nevertheless.

Portland. Seattle
Said Targets of
Ship Discrimination
Washington (U.R) Ports of
Portland and Seattle have been
unfairly discriminated against in
favor of San Francisco by a
group of ship lines, according
to a ruling released by the Fed
eral Maritime Board.
The board said the Pacific
Westbound Conference of three .
shipping lines had been guilty
of attracting traffic away from
the Seattle and Portland ports
by absorbing the inland , trans
portation costs of products sent
to San . Francisco instead of to
ports in the northwest.
Oregon Shipments Affected
Particularly affected, the
board said, were shipments of
Oregon onions, explosives and
newsprint. Equalization pay
ments for shipments of apples,
pears and dairy roducts were ap- .
proved temporarily by the board
until adequate shipping facili
ties at Portland and Seattle are
available.
Officials of the two ports said
fruit and dairy shipments as
facilities would be available for
soon as the equalization pay- '
ments were prohibited.
Lines Mentioned
Specifically mentioned in the
ports' complaint against the Pa
cific Westbound Conference were
Pacific Far East Lines, Pacific
Transport Lines, Inc., and Amer
ican President Lines, Ltd.
The board said that to the ex
tent "that the ports of a given
geographical area give or can
give adequate transportation ser
vices, we look with disfavor on
equalization rules or practices
which divert traffic away irom
the natural direction of the flow
of traffic."
