Nationalisation in Britain, opposing the Nationalisation in Iran. ...in fact there is nothing illogical
about it; we dont dispute the right of the Iranian govt. to Nationalise the
oil field, what we do say is they should honor their commercial
agreements. Now such Nationalization is being carried out in
Britain, every contract is honored & every piece of private property is
paid for at market value; and we ask the Iranians to do the same. Wilmot goes on to discuss the
Anglo-Iranian oil contract.
07:10:40 Huie: What do you think is likely to be the outcome... ...Im afraid the oil will go to waste
& the economy of the country (Iran) will be ruined. Huie: Dont you think there is a danger of Russia stepping in
there?

East Foundation (NEF), 05Mar52]
Title sequence; Frank Knight does commercial over watches. Introduction of Elliot Haynes, Henry
Hazlitt & guest Dr. Lyle J. Hayden former chief of agriculture section of
ECA & now program director of Near East Foundation. Hayden explains NEF, a privately
supported foundation, has been involved w/ rural improvement in Iran to improve
standard of living for the peasants. Asked who contributes, says average contribution is $10 to $12. Explains difference w/ Point Four
Program - NEF began before Pt. 4.
07:18:23 Hayden: ...average peasant farmer has a wooden
plow, a float to drag...one-half interest in an ox...
Talks about problems of getting risk capital available to under-developed
(backwards) countries
07:20:46 Hayden: ...Iran is almost on the verge of
bankruptcy; I dont know where they can get foreign exchange unless they can
sell their oil. Haynes: Do you think...British & Iranians
will patch up their difference? Hayden: I dont think so.
re World Bank Association ..thats the most hopeful so far...
07:21:28 Haynes says loss of
Irans oil to the West has been made up for by other sources. Asks how important Iran is to the West. Hayden: ...very important...great reserve of oil...if some foreign
power should take over control of Iran...they could take over all the rest of
the oil producing area around Persian Gulf...
07:21:28 Hazlitt: Do you think weve been following a
very good policy in the Near East? Haynes asks: What is our
foreign policy in the Near East...it seems we have one time followed one course
of action; another time another. We have told the Arab we were their friend & that we wanted to help
them; & then we seemed to help the countries or country that was taking
their territory away from them...
07:23:03 Hazlitt: Well does the Arab make any comparison
between our treatment of them & our treatment ...of Israel? Very definitely, the recent allotment of funds under TCA (?); the Arab
says you are giving $50 million to four million people, & $50 million
dollars to forty million people...and thats not enough.
07:23:37 Hazlitt: What would be a typical project youve
been doing? Encourage poultry
breeding; exchange better quality breeding roosters for native roosters.
07:24:40 Haynes: Do you think the absentee land-owner
problem is one that has to be solved? Yes. Discusses land reform;
need for owners to share the wealth.
07:25:40 Haynes: Do you believe our policy was well
handled in giving vast sums to Europe in 1948 & 1949?
Hayden: I think that very
definitely we were doing the right thing by providing economic aid to Europe;
perhaps I would agree w/ Senator Taft when he said he believed in foreign aid
but not so much.
07:26:08 Hazlitt: What is the most important thing that
the U.S. needs to do in the Near East today? Haynes says: ...get the confidence of the people...working at the grass roots
level...

Reports on 12 Nation Visit, 1952?]
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles seated at desk w/ microphones, SOF: ...Mr. Stassen, the Director of Mutual
Security & I & our associates left at President Eisenhowers request
for a three-week visit to the twelve countries which lie n between the
Mediterranean area & China...met w/ a cordial reception...many of these
countries people feel our policies of recent years have been rather
unfriendly...antagonistic to them. There were...demonstrations in most countries which were primarily
organized by the Communists...
07:52:00 One of the spots we ran
into first, Egypt, is a serious trouble spot. We had a long talk there w/ General Naguib who is the new
ruler...but he wants to get the British out of the Suez Canal base...a gigantic
affair...for the defense of the entire area...its a technical problem...I
believe there can be a solution which will reconcile the needs of the
International Community w/ the sovereignty of Egypt.
07:53:33 In Israel & the
surrounding Arab countries we studied the very tense situation which results
from the creation of Israel & the bitterness...between the Israeli &
the Arabs. We found the leaders of
Israel...agree w/ us that the United States ought to find policies which would
be impartial between Israel & the Arab States so as to win...respect of the
Israeli but also of the Arab peoples...
07:54:17 In India...talks w/ Mr.
Nehru...we didnt agree about everything...Korean armistice...
