Telegram XX No ,3 dated 6tli recd 7th, January 1935,
From Mini ster, Tehran .
To Foreigi Office, London.
(Repeated Foreign, New Delhi No,l)
Your telegram No»l. Is it not a fret that objections

Persian Government would acquiesce in caiy decision that
cancellation was ultra v:r,3 but would decline to negotiate
new Agreement and seok to attain their enos by means of
