A Government communique said the plotters had sought to bring a new government to power by the support of “foreigners,” whom they had approached with assurances that the change would serve their' interests.

He declared then that his policy was support for the Bagdad Pact, friendly relations with all nations and stronger ties with the Islamic States. ■ , ' ■ Last October 70 persons' were arrested in Teheran for “antiGovernment activities.”
