force. Irani exports to Germany have been quite inadequate to provide
payment for stimulated inflow of German goods, balance due to Germany
being probably in excess of 1,000,000 pounds. Unless some means of bridg
ing the gap can be found imports from Germany may have to be curtailed^

Despatch from Sir P. Ramsay, to Mf. Eden, (No. 364E.), dated the 19th
(received the 24th) November 1936.
With reference to my despatch No. 319 of the 12th December 1935,
I have the honour to inform you that another example of successful Danish
enterprise in the Middle East has just been made known here. According to
the press the firm of Monberg and Thorsen have obtained the contract for
five corn silos to be erected in Iran, in various towns, including Ispahan.
The total cost is said to be about 7 million kroner, and the work is to be com
pleted in two to three years.
2. I have transmitted copies of this despatch to His Majesty’s Minister,
Tehran, and to the Department of Overseas Trade.

Enclosure in Foreign Office covering letter dated 25th November 1936.
P. Z. 8423 of 1936.
(643/8/36).
Despatch from His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, to His Majesty’s
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, No.-495, dated the 31st
October 1936.
I have the honour to enclose herewith copies of despatches from His
Majesty’s Consular Officers at Tabriz and Kermanshah recording the recent
visit of the Shah, accompanied by the Valiahd, to Azerbaijan and parts of
Kurdistan. Though affable at Tabriz the Shah, it would appear, remains
his alarming self, and His Imperial Majesty seems to have made no effort
to bring his son into the foreground of the activities of the visit.
2. There can be little doubt that these tours by the Shah are of consider
able value in stirring apathetic local authorities into certain useful forms of
activity, mainly connected with the upkeep of the roads.
Enclosure I to Serial No. 4.
Despatch from His Majesty’s Consul, Tabriz, to His Majesty’s charge
d’affaires, Tehran, No. 19/355-5-3-36, dated the 19th October
1936.
Seeing no immediate possibility of being able to send you this report
by safe hand in the near future, I have telegraphed at some length today
about the Shah’s visit to Azerbaijan. My object was not primarily to inform
you of his actual movements, since they are being fully reported in the press,
but rather to convey a more accurate impression than the newspapers are
free to give of the attitude of the people here towards their present, and pre
sumably their future, rulers.
