Your telegram No, 98,
I have done my best to make pill palatable but Shah
cannot be induced to swallow it. He is bent on getting away
and I ami pressed to make following farther representations’

V/e say that when peace has- been definitely established
ana more normal conditions prevail we will do our best to
arrange facilities but those contingencies may not take shape
lcr Iaariy 35f6ekB 0r even months to come; meanwhile Hi a Hajoaty’s
healtli and nerves are in thoroughly unsatisfactory state and it
is urgently necessary in interests of and indeed for safety
0 - nis hec-,lth tnat he should have a thorough change of s^ene
tj.nd c lima be. He Has absolutely no personal desire of concern
ing himself with any politics; on the contrary - his only
reason ior suggesting visit to Paris was in order to further
our policy and plans now under discussion and he would
v,xij.ingly weep away.. He would indeed like to go to French
hifieia ii possiole. but if we do not wish it, he will
remain in Switzerland. As regards details of iournoy he
says he will travel incognito and while naturally hoping for
(ordinary ?) arrangements for his safety he decs not ask for
any more comfort than a comiort that would be accorded to
oral nary travellers',' . u'ith reference to jo - rney onward from
