3. I was recently told by the Prime Minister, who has hitherto retained his
former post of Minister of the Interior, that Monsieur Abolghassem Ferouhar (Per
sonalities in Iran No. 83) has been selected for the post of Acting Minister of the
Interior. Monsieur Ferouhar’s recent career affords an excellent example of the
changes and chances of the life of an official in this country. A year ago he went
from being Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Finance to be Iranian Minister in
Paris. He was recalled in January owing to the appearance in the French press
of articles objectionable to the Shah, and on his return he was for a short time im
prisoned. Subsequently he w T as appointed Legal Adviser to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, from which comparatively unimportant post he is apparently to become a
member of the Cabinet.

of India in the External Affairs Department No. 131.

With reference to Mr. Butler’s semi-official letter to Mr. Rendel of the 22nd

Shah was in Mazanderan last month a considerable number of arrests and some
executions were carried out, and that there was a conspiracy of some sort against
His Imperial Majesty’s life.
