By Truman
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 — </?> —
President Truman was reported to
day to have assured Iran’s Prime
Minister the United States will do
wliat it can to grant financial aid
to the near-bankrupt Iranian gov
ernment.
Deputy rremirr Hossein Fatemi
told a reporter Mr. Truman gave
these assurances in a letter sent
Innight to Premier Mohammed
Mossadegh of Iran.
Fatemi termed the president's
reply “very favorable and very en
couraging" from Iran's view.
The president’s letter was in rep’y
to an urgent message sent Sunday
by Mossadegh. This appealed for
immediate financial aid to keep
Iran’s economy from being paralyzed
by lack of funds as a result of the
continuing Anglo-Iranian oil dis
pute. Aides said Iran wants $120,
000,003.
Mossadegh plans to leave by plane
on Sunday for Egypt enroute to
Iran. He delayed his departure to
make this trip possible. Aides said
the Prime Minister wants to chart
a joint Egyptian-Iranian .policy
against ‘'colonialism and Commun-'
ism” during the visit.
