);
Mr* Co^o Baxter, (Foreign Office)o
MRo RENDEL expressed regret that it had not "been possible
to give the departments concerned longer notice of the meeting, or
full details of the subject to be discussed. An urgent
situation had arisen from the closing of the Duzdap Railway. The
Persian Government had ashed us to re-open this railway, and this
had given us an unexpected opportunity for ashing the Persians to
give us something in return., Mr. Dodd’s telegram No. 150, copies
of which had been circulated officially, had suggested that we
should ash for the lease of Henjam. The Foreign Office were not
altogether satisfied with regard to this suggestion, and had
decided, before consulting the other departments concerned, to
obtain the further views of our Charge d*Affaires at Tehran
privately. The difficulties about ashing for the Henjam lease
could perhaps be summarised as follows® Firstly, the Henjam lease
was one of the most important advantages which His Majesty s
Government stood to secure as a result of the general treaty
negotiations with Persia now in suspense, and it was more than
doubtful whether the Persians would be prepared to give it to us
merely in return for the re—opening of the Dusdap Railway.
