present merits but viewed It In the light of conditions
which had ceased to exist. His Majesty's Government In
the United Kingdom had no desire to put Persian Government
up against a wall as he had phrased It In a previous^
conversation hut if Persian Government Wanted a quick
settlement hy agreement when League met It was for them
to take Initiative and produce a formula to enable
negotiations between Persian Government and Company to
begin* I concluded by saying that a satisfactory formula
might be difficult to evolve and far the simplest course
would be to withdraw luckless letter of November 27th..
(Of this there can be no ouestion).
Conversation strengthened my conviction that
Minister for Foreign Affairs at any rate fully realises
hopelessness cf legal and moral position in which Sheh
has landed Persian Government who are quite Incapable
of trying to extricate themselves partly in normal hatred
of initiative aggravated by fear of lgncre(ing?) Shah and
partly lest we simply profit by their attempt to render
their case still worse. I submit that it would be in.
consonance with general policy of His Majesty's Govern
ment to help them. Arguments from practical aspect in
favour of this course are well known and I will not
develop them.
I think it would be easy to get Minister for
Foreign Affairs to say that he would be glad if I would
give him my views as to how rratttrs could be settled by
imnedlate agreement on January 23rd without formal
withdrawal frll cancellation or pronouncement by League
of Nations on its legality.
