My telegrams Nos. 206, 212 and 213. I note that
official wireless does not mention demand for the withdrawal
of notification of cancellation and I presume this was
deliberate with intention of^facing retreat of Persian
Government,
On this assumption I submit the following reply to
Persian note of December 3rd "I have the honour to inform
Your Excellency that it is not possible for His Majesty's
Government to admit validity of an unilateral cancellation
of D f Arcy Concession. His Majesty's Government in the
United Kingdom regret that smch admission would undermine
the essential basis of Commercial and International rela
tions which rest on the sanctity of the contract. His
Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom have been
from the outset, as stated in my note of December 2nd, trying
and, as repeated in statement made in the House of Commons
on December 5th, been anxious that an amicable settlement
may be reached between the Imperial Government and Company.
They are fully aware that Company has for some time past
realised that progress of development of Company's
activities has rendered desirable some modification of
D'Arcy concession 'and has willingly negotiated with the
Imperial Government with a view to placing their mutual
relations on a basis suitable to existing conoitions.
His Majesty's Government In the United Kingdom would
welcome
