We have detected a strong CO (J = 1 goes to 0) emission line toward the high-redshift compact group of galaxies IRAS F10214+4724 using the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The integrated line flux is 2.4 +/- 0.3 Jy km/sec. The total molecular mass producing the CO (J = 1 goes to 0) emission was estimated to be (1.8-6.4) x (1011))/(h sq) solar masses. The brightness temperature ratio of CO (J = 3 goes to 2) to CO (J = 1 goes to 0) suggests that a huge mass of molecular material in IRAS F10214+4724 exists as low-density molecular gas of n(H2) approximately equals 102/cu cm, or that the CO (J = 1 goes to 0) emission is distributed by more than 16 sec (64/h kpc).
