At the end of the Interview reported in my telegram
No.230 I asked Minister for Foreign Affairs to explain
precisely the meaning of the lost sentence of Persian
Note. He srid that statement that Fis Majesty's Governmeni
would hold Persian Government responsible for any loss whicl
might be caused to the Company by Persian action was
interpreted as threat that Fis Majnsty's Government would
demand compensation fox indirect losses. Passage meant
that should such a threat be pressed Persian Government
reserved their right to appeal to the League of Nations.
They now realised that statement only applied to inter
ference with the Company's operations in Persia, There was
no intention to interfere and therefore issue was not a
live one unless demand of His Majesty's Government for the
withdrawal of cancellation w.ere pressed in such a manner as
to imperil normal relations.
