Soviet Paper Declares Iran Broke Treaty Country Charged With Granting Oil Concessions Held Ly Russia to U S And British Firms The Newspaper Izvestia declared Saturday that Northern Iran oil fields were of primary significance to Russian security and charged that Iran four times broke the treaty of 1921 by granting to United States and British firms oil con- cessions previously held by sia The government newspaper Iran of discriminating against Russia in oil concessions of ening Soviet and of ing to instigate conflicts between the Soviet union and great powers The latter charge was made in another article in Izvestia Thursday Met Resistance Izvestia asserted that when sia in 1944 proposed renewal of her former oil concessions in the north the proposal met raving resistance from the Iranian ruling upper crust It is not said vestia to forget about all these facts which have serious meaning in the development of relations be- tween the Soviet union and The 1921 treaty it said lated that Iran would not give con- cessions to foreign interests in Northern Iran but that Iran had granted them to three American and one firm in this area adjacent to the Southern iet frontier and close

and to the Anglo Dutch company said to be a sub- of the Royal Dutch Shell in March 1939 All were cancelled later but only after Soviet protests it added Grounds Said False Iran it continued granted the concessions on grounds she did have the financial and industrial means for self-development But this it charged was only a maneuver exposed by the iet proposal a year and a half ago for
