My telegram No.•614.
My immediately following telegram (sent only to the
Foreign Office, Government of India and Moscow) gives the
text of the note dated August 28th from the Minister for
Foreign Affairs. A similar note received hy the Soviet
Ambassador.
2. The following points occurred in my first conversation
with the new Minister for Foreign Affairs today:-
(a) The Minister said that the Government .had been re
constituted because it was felt that the late Prime Minister
did not inspire full confidence. I admitted that I felt that
the Shah had not been kept fully informed. The Soviet
Ambassador shares this view, but he also showed great dis
satisfaction at the version of the crisis given ro Parliament ■
- a matter to which .1 paid little attention in the
circuits tances.
(b) The Government had decided to cease hostilities.
I said that this v/as a wise step and indeed essential.
(c) The Persian Government hoped that, in return, the
advance of the British and Russian troops would be halted.
I said that I had not been informed of the proposed limits
of our own advance, let alone the Russian, but I would
transmit the request to you. I hope that we can now at
least inform the Persian Government what points it is
proposed to occupy, so that they may know where they stand.
(d) The Persian Government are ready to expel all Germans,
without exception, as soon as the road is omen and to try to
settle all questions with the two Governments of Great
Britain and the U.S.S.R., but without the help of those
Governments the Persian Government could not maintain itself,
and the best form that help could take would be the with-
drawal of foreign forces for[sic. ?from] Persia.
