Singer Talks
On Iranian
Oil Problem
“The Iranian Problem and It’s
International Implications” was dis
cussed by Dr. Gregg Singer in
chapel yesterday.
This question, besides being a
threat to world peace, has weak
ened British prestige considerably
in other countries as well as in
Iran. Because of Britian’s hand

served notice that the Anglo-Egyp-

be nullified.
The trouble began, said Dr.
Singer, in 1907 when England and
Russia made an unfair treaty with
Iran, then known as Persia. The

harmony.”
