Mr. Hoare to Sir John Simon.—{Received January 2, 1933.)
(No. 538.)
Tehran, December 17, 1932.
I HAVE the honour to transmit to you herewith copies of despatches from
three of His Majesty s consular officers in Persia illustrative of the methods used
to promote popular enthusiasm at the cancellation of the Anglo-Persian Oil
Company concession.
2. There can be no doubt that these celebrations were not only inspired,
but enforced, in every town throughout Persia.
3. The effect of the immediate rise in the price of kerosene at Tabriz and
of the rumours of a similar increase in Shiraz is worth noting.
4. I would also draw your attention to Mr. Summerscale's remarks upon
the slight increase in anti-foreign feeling caused by the Government propaganda.
No similar feeling is yet apparent in the capital.
5. I am sending copies of this despatch to the Foreign Secretary to the
Government of India (No. 261), the acting British consul-general, Meshed (No. 35),
the acting British consul, Tabriz (No. 33), and the acting British consul, Shiraz
(No. 22).
I have, &c.
R. H. HOARE.
Enclosure 1 in No. 1.
Acting Consul-General Daly to Mr. Hoare.
(No. 50. Confidential.)
Sir, Meshed, December 5, 1932.
I HAVE the honour to report that a meeting was held at the Meshed
Chamber of Commerce on the 3rd December, 1932, which was attended by the
Governor-General and other officials, and to which some 500-800 guests were
invited. A copy of the invitation card is attached^ 1 )
One Haji Mahommed Jafar Kashmiri (formerly a British-protected person,
but who has assumed Persian nationality) and Shushtari, chief inspector of the
Shrine, made speeches denouncing the D'Arcy Concession, &c., and the letter
alleged to have been written by the Persian Government to the company was read.
There is no doubt but that the meeting was held under orders from Tehran
and there are strong grounds for suspecting that the Soviet consulate-general
supplied the funds for purchase of refreshments to make the meeting attractive.
Reports from Birjand, Zahedan and Zabul indicate that the inhabitants
there were also made to decorate their premises by police coercion. Up to the
date of this despatch I have received no reports of any interference with the
company's agents.
I have, &c.
C. K. DALY, Major, C.I.E.
