[Enclosure in Foreign Office covering letter dated SOth April 1937.)
Lettee feom the British Legation, Tehran, to the Foreign Office, London,
No. 127/317/8/37, dated the 5th April 1937.
With reference to your despatch No. 68 (W. 2623/2391/50) of the 17th Feb
ruary, I have the honour to inform you that Captain Yon Blomberg and Captain
Yon Sternberg arrived in Tehran from Baghdad in their Junkers aeroplane on the
9th March and left for Kabul on the 11th March. During their short stay in Tehran
it was not possible for them to accept any hospitality in His Majesty’s Legation,
but they found time to call on Mr. Butler and expressed their gratitude for the
assistance given them at Baghdad, thanks to Group Captain Don’s recommenda
tion of them.
2. His Majesty’s Consul at Kerman has reported that on the return flight
the aeroplane landed at Bandar Abbas on the 21st March. It had flown from Kabul
to Jask. Water was supplied to the aeroplane from the Consulate and it left for
Damascus after an hour’s stay.
3. I am sending copies of this despatch to His Majesty’s Ambassador at Berlin,
No. 317/8/37.

[Enclosure in Foreign Office covering letter dated 13th May 1937.)
Letter from Mr. Seymour, to Mr. Eden, No. 131, dated the 26th April 1937.
With reference to my despatch No. 38 of the 26th January, I have the honour
to inform you that on the 15th March the Iranian and Turkish representa
tives signed in Tehran six conventions concluded as the result of the protracted
negotiations which had taken place in Tehran since the arrival of the Turkish dele
gation in October last. According to an announcement in the Journal de TeUran
of the 16th March, these conventions dealt with the following subjects :
[a) Frontier security.
{h) Extradition.
[c) Judicial assistance.
[d) Residence.
[e) Customs tariff (tnis convention is described as a ^ convention douaniere
unique ”).
(/) Telegraphs and telephones.
2. The texts of the six conventions have not yet been published, and little or
nothing is known about their provisions. I understand from Mr. Husnu, who is
now at last confidently expecting to leave Tehran, that they do not amount to
much. Before leaving he hopes to sign certain further agreements, including a
commercial treaty, the negotiation of which was finished some time ago, but which
have not, he tells me, yet been finally approved by the Iranian Government.
3. I am sending copies of this despatch to the Department of Overseas Trade,
unnumbered, and to His Majesty’s Ambassador at Angora, No. 184.
