In discussing with the Iranian Government suggestion
that certain German technicians might be allowed to remain in
Iran, you should keep clearly in mind that our object is to
obtain a reduction of the number of Germans by four-fifths and
you should speak in this sense. 17e should have no objection,
within this limitation and within that contained in paragraph
9, to the retention of Germans /whose services are really
essential and against whom there is no personal objection.
2, No time limit has been inserted in our communication,
■a? it is not desired to give it the character of an ultimatum.
)U should, however, make it clear in conversation that His
Majesty’s Government hope that the Iranian Government can
^ fen sure you at once that the reduction asked for (80>b) will
Chfve been made by 31st August.
<
O 3. For your, own information we shall be content if a
^drastic reduction has been made by 31st August and the v/hole
Eduction effected by 13th September.
