PERSIA'S APPEAL
N 0 INTENTION OF WITHDRAWAL WASHINGTON, January 24. • The Persian Government does not intend to withdraw its appeal to the United Nations over the RussianPersian dispute. ■ " If the United Nations Organisation fails to take action to remedy the Azerbaijan uprisings, the ' United Nations Organisation is dead before it has lived," said the Persian Ambassador to Washington, Mr Ala, in a broadcast. "If the Organisation fails in this, nobody will believe in it. The people will say: ' Here at its very birth we see that might is once more right.' If the United Nations Organisation should compromise or condone arbitrary action or aggression, it will be preparing the ground for a third world war." A United States Embassy statement issued to-day said there had been no attempt, direct or indirect, to influence the Persian Government's decision to place its case before the Uaited Nations, " The United States feels that each member should be entirely free to decide for itself whether it wishes to bring any matter to the Organisation's attention."
