Washington Awaits
Russian Reply
On Iran
WASHINGTON, Mar. 8, UP)—
Official Washington awaited Rus
sia’s reply to this country’s de
mand that Soviet troops leave
Iran immediately. They believe
the reply may go far toward de
termining whether American and
Russian relations may improve or
continue worse.
There is no indication when it
will arrive from Moscow. Nikolai
Novikov, charge d’affaires at the
Russian Embassy made his first
diplomatic call in months on
Secretary Byrnes yesterday. Later
Byrnes said however, he didn’t
discuss either of the two U. S.
notes sent to Moscow Tuesday
declaring United States “cannot
remain indifferent” to Russia’s
decision to keep troops in Iran.
The note was released last night
and said the Soviet action was
contrary to the Roosevelt-Stalin
Churehill declaration at Tehran
of December first, 1943. in which i
the three governments pledged to
“maintain the independence, sov
ereignty and territorial integrity
of Iran.”
