2. It has "been rumoured for many months that Monsieur Kazemi would
obtain the post, and news of his appointment therefore came as no surprise.
It must be taken to signify that he has at last succeeded in emerging from
the cloud under which he has been suffering, but his new post is only relative-
Jv important, and it would probably be an exaggeration to suppose that he
is again basking in the undiluted rays of the Imperial favour.
3. I am sending copies of this despatch to the Foreign Secretary to the
Government of India No. 73.

Important. Iraqi Minister for Foreign Affairs tells me he showed confi
dentially to Turkish Government draft of a treaty between Iraq and Iran
relating to frontier between the two countries (text of which I understand
from him had received prior approval of His Majesty’s Government) which
he had handed to Iranian Minister Bagdad two days ago before his departure
for Angora.
He says Turkish Government were most favourably impressed with this
document which they regarded as a sound and statesmanlike effort on the
part of Iraqi Government to settle frontier difficulties with Iran. Further
more that Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs impressed Turkish views to
foregoing effect on Iranian Ambassador at Angora and requested latter to
send a pressing personal appeal from President of the Republic to the Shah
urging His Majesty to effect an early settlement with Iraq and suggesting
that draft in question offered an excellent basis for so doing.
Iranian Ambassador telegraphed accordingly to Tehran before depar
ture to Angora of Iraqi Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Addressed to Foreign Office No. 25 of May 1st ; repeated to Bagdad
and Tehran.
