Iran Wants “Foreign” Troops to Leave
Received Sunday, 7.30 p.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Hussein Ali, Iran’s first Ambassador to the United States since the legation was given embassy status, has arrived. He said Iran desired the friendliest relations with her powerful neighbours and with her war allies, but naturally was jealous of her sovereign rights, and saw no reason why foreign troops were still in Iran, which had rendered yeoman service to the cause of liberty and democracy. “We cannot be masters of our own house till evacuation is completed," he declared. Washington officials say all Allied forces should be out this winter. Britain and Russia had agreed tacitly to remove their forces by March, 1946. The Americans are withdrawing rapidly.
