announced. Monsieur Ferouhar, an account of whose earlier career is given

Telegram from Mr. Seymour (Tehran), No. 97, dated the 23rd August
1938.
Minister for Foreign Affairs gave me today following explanation of dis
pute which has arisen between Iranian and Soviet Governments.
( 2 ) A German firm has obtained contract for improvements at port of
Pahlevi. Soviet Government maintain that presence of German engineers
is contrary to Article 2 of Exchange of Notes 1927 (Sir R. Clive’s des-
patch No. 513 of 1927). Iranian Government who maintain that article
refers only to persons in the employment of port administration have offered
to accept arbitration on the point at issue but Soviet Government decline.
Soviet Government made a demonstration a few days ago by sending war
ships without notice into territorial waters off Pahlevi and Iranian Govern
ment have protested. There the matter rests for the moment.
(3) Minister for Foreign Affairs is nervous and from his frequent re
ferences to good relations between His Majesty’s Government and Iranian
Government I received the impression that he may have in mind to ask for
good offices of His Majesty’s Government if dispute cannot be settled. Soviet
Government are not likely to be tractable over a question involving German
industrial interests in this country.
