Letter from British Embassy, Angora, to the Foreign Office, London,
No. (E 6675/3966/65), dated the 28th October 1938.
Tevfik Riistii Aras told me yesterday that Japanese agents, diplomatic
or other, had been trying to stampede both the Iranian and Afghan govern
ments, employing the usual Japanese tactics of being impertinent and push-
ing in order to see just to what point their provocations would be tolerated.
He had therefore warned both his Iranian and his Afghan friends that the
only thing when Japanese overstepped the mark was to be perfectly firm with
them, as he himself had been over the Japanese Ambassadors’ conference in
Istanbul. See my telegram No. 10 Saving of Agust 5th from Istanbul.
He told me that his views had prevailed and that both Tehran and Kabul
had taken the hint.

With reference to a letter from the Eastern Department of the 3rd May,
(E 2319/235/34), regarding the visit of a small German economic delegation
to Tehran, I have the honour to inform Your Lordship that a new clearing
agreement between Iran and Germany is said to have been signed on the 19th
October. The greatest secrecy has been observed regarding the terms of this
new agreement, and no details are available at present. The Commerical
Secretary to this Legation was recently informed by Herr Schliiter, the repre
sentative of the Hansa Line and of other German firms, that he had called
twice at the German Legation in order to obtain information about the terms
of the new agreement, but had been unsuccessful.
2 . I should also add that a certain Herr Pitamayer, who is said to be a
relation of Dr. Schacht, recently arrived in Tehran and is staying at the Ger
man Legation. It is reported that he has been sent over to establish buying
agencies throughout Iran. &
3. I am sending a copy of this despatch to the Department of Overseas
Trade.
