by Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare to request you to inform
the Marquess of Zetland that in his opinion further
representations to the Persian Government are unlikely to
produce any official expression of regret for Lieutenant
Darayazda f s conduct.
2. The Secretary of State proposes, tnerefore, subject
to the observations of His Lordship to instruct His Majesty s
Minister at Tehran to inform the Persian Government in
writing that His Majesty’s Government, having had under
consideration the accounts of the incident furnished by the
Ministry for Foreign Affairs to himself, and by the Persian
Legation to the Foreign Office, do not find in these
accounts any adequate explanation of the undoubted fact
that the Red Ensign was removed from the mast of the ’’Garmsir
in circumstances in which it would clearly not have been
removed but for the use of force or threats. His Majesty’s
Government had hoped and expected that when this inciaent was
brought to their notice, the Persian Government would have
taken spontaneously such disciplinary action as the case
required, or at least have offered an expression of regret.
But it is now clear that the Persian Government do not intend
