the cancellation of the Concession and stated that they did
not consider the International Court at the Hague competent
to examine the dispute• They declared their right to appeal
to the League of Nations.
On or about the same date the British Government
replied agreeing that the dispute between the two Uovern-
ments should be referred to the Council of the League of
Nations instead of to the International Court at the Hague.
At the same time the British Government requested
the Secretary-iieneral of the League to place the subject on
the agenda for an early hearing and provisional arrangements
were made by the League to deal with the matter on Tuesday the
20th December. The British Government has presented its case
to the League, but according to the latest Reuter messages
the Persian Government have requested postponement on the
grounds that they could not possibly have their representa
tives in Geneva before the 26th of December.
There the matter rests at present.
Telegraphic information has been received from
Tehran that the notes exchanged with the British Government
were read in the Majliss by the Persian Minister of Foreign
Affairs on the 16th December and that the Persian Minister
then addressed the Majliss in the following terms
The Persian Government had cancelled the Concession
because they considered firstly that it did not satisfy their
legitimate interests and secondly that the terms were not
observed by the Company* So long as the Concession remained,

own position. They had therefore cancelled the Concei3sion
but in so doing they ted no other intention except to reach
a new working basis which would be equitable to both parties,
he referred to foreign Press comments and alleged that they
misrepresented the facts adding that the Company would receive
Persian Government orotection as heretofore unless intentional
damage was carried out by some one who might consider it
