teal interests of Persia. The defects and short comings
of the If A rcy Concession arid its disagreement witjh.
Persian interests have heen repeatedly pointed out, afi
of course the Persian Gov&rtVment cannot legally and
logically consider itself hpund tv the provisions of a con
cession which was granted priojr to the establishment of
a constitutional regime in vie^o of the manner in which
such concession was obtained.g^d granted at that time.
However, the Persian Government in the hope that the
Company would take into consideration the needs of the
time and the present position of Persia, and secure her
interests in accordance with those needs, has so far
refrained from exercising its rights to cancel the D'Arcy
Concession. Unfortunately, in the face of the patient c
displayed hy the Persian Government, the Company not
only took no practical steps to protect the interests of
Persia, hut the more the Company*s expansion increased
the more Persian interests were endangered. Therefore
the Persian Government has lost hope of achieving the
object in view hy means of negotiations with 'the Com*
puny, and therefore the only way to safeguard its rights
is % a cancellation of the D'Arcy Concession, and this
Ministry in accordance with the decision of the Persian
Government has to notify you that as from this date it
has cancelled the D'Arcy Concession and will consider it
void. At the same time, as the Persian Government has
no other intention except to saf eguard Persian interests,
should the Anglo-Persian Oil Company he prepared con
trary to the past to safeguard Persian interests, in
accordance with the views of the Persian Government,
on the hasis of equity and justice, with the necessatk %
security for safeguarding those interests, the PersimJ
Government will not4n principle refuse to grant a new
concession to that Company.
