ANGLOPERSIAN OIL DISPUTE ,
NEW BRITISH MOTE TQ TEHEHAK *
CAPTAIN P,MACDONALD (Isle of Wight,U.) asked the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there had been
any farther developments with regard to the Anglo-Persian Oil
concession in Persia; and whether he had had any intimation that
the Persian Government was prepared to reconsider its attitude.
Mr. EDEN. Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs (Warwick
and Leamington, U«) f said:- I informed the House, in reply to
a question by the hon. and gallant member for East Lewi sham on
December 5, that tfets his Majesty's Minister at Teheran had on
December 2 made the strongest representations to the Persian
Government on this subject* I am now in a position to read to
the House the text of the Note which Mr. Hoare then handed to the
Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Kote was as follows!-

in cancelling the company^ concession to be an inadmissible
breach of its terms; they take a most serious view of
the conduct of the Persian Government, and have instructed
me to demand the immediate withdrawal of the notification
issued to the company.
(2) Furthermore, I am directed to state that, while
His Majesty's Government still hope that the Persian
Government will be at pains to reach an amicable settle

Government will not hesitate, if the necessity arises,
to take all legitimate measures to protect their just
and indisputable interests.
(3) Finally, I have the honour to state that His
Majesty 1 s Government will not tolerate any damage to the
company^ interests or interference with their premises
or business activities in Persia.

Minister on the afternoon of December 5, which ran as follows5-
In reply to your respected Note of December 2 I have
the honour to state 1-
(1) The Persian Government regards itself as within
its rights in cancelling the D'Arcy concession and does
not agree to withdraw the Note of the Minister of Finance
to Mr. Jacks, the Director of the Anglo-Persian Oil
Company, announcing the cancellation of the concession.
The Imperial Persian Government is of opinion that for
some time past it has been entitled to take steps to
cancel the D'Arcy concession and for a long time past the
Persian Government has repeatedly pointed out the fact
that the stipulations of the above mentioned concession
are xsl not in accord with the legitimate interests of
Persia, and that it has not been satisfied with the
situation arising from the above mentioned concession
and with the conduct of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company;
but, in the hope that the above mentioned company would
