Sir F. Humphrys to Sir John Simon.—{Received December 20.)
(No. 1141.)
Sir, Bagdad, December 8, 1932.
IN a private talk which I had with King Feisal on the 6th December, His
Majesty referred to the news of the cancellation of the Anglo-Persian Oil
Company's Concession. He professed to be annoyed by the temerity of the
Persian Government, and expressed the opinion that British influence in the
Middle East would be seriously affected if the Persians were not made to recon
sider their action.
2. His Majesty's remarks are, I think, symptomatic of the widespread
interest which this event has evoked. The local Arabic press has given great
prominence to the news of the Persian Government's challenge to what is realised
to be one of our most vital interests, and the steps which His Majesty's Govern
ment will take to deal with this situation will be watched with the closest
attention in this country.
3. I am sending a copy of this despatch to His Majesty's Minister at Tehran.
I have, &c.
F. H. HUMPHRYS.
