Implication that British Legation stand In way of settlement
On the other hand both His Majesty's Government and Gompang!
consider that satisfactory basis for resumption of negotia

nothing should be said or done which might encourage Persian
Government to think that they can play off Company against
His Majesty's Government or that they can escape from
proceedings at Geneva merely by opening direct negotiations
with Company meanwhile. Any reopening of negotiations
between Persian Government and Company at this stage on an

of Company to send representatives to Tehran in advance of
next Council meeting would merely weaken position both of
His K&jesty's Government and of Company themselves when
matter next comes before Council and render/ it easier

Government in raising iratter under Article 15 of Covenant
forms only obstacle to arrangement between themselves and
Company. •

continue at Geneva in January and that negotiations in the
meantime between Persian Government and Company are undesir
able. On the other hand it is clear that if Company are to
he able to continue their operations in Persia some agreeme
satisfactory to both parties will eventually have to be
arrived
