a violent press campaign at Tehran against France. The
French Minister at Tehran has been instructed to make to the
Iranian authorities the necessary explanations to dispel the
misunderstanding which the publication of these articles
seems to have created in Court circles. None, the less, the
Iranian Government decided on the 28th December to break
of! diplomatic relations with the French Government.”
2. The Temps (Right) adds that the official notification of the rupture
of diplomatic relations was conveyed to M. Bonnet in a note addressed to
him on the 30th December, on behalf of the Iranian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, by the Iranian Minister at Paris. It recalls that an incident of
the same nature led to the refusal of Iran to participate in the Paris
Exhibition of 1937.
3. The Petit Parisien (Centre) of the 31st December states that the
article in question contained no reference whatever to the Shah, but was
merely headed “Quand Sa Majeste le Chat Recoit.” A copy of a cutting
from the Petit Parisien reproducing the heading in question is attached.

Copy to India, No. 27.
With reference to my despatch No. 43 of the 11 th February, I have
the honour to report that Monsieur Ali Asghar Hikmat has been appointed
Minister of the Interior. In my despatch No. 300 of the 31st August last
[S. No. (70) in F. 7-N./38], I had the honour to report that Monsieur
Abul Qasim Ferouhar had been appointed to this post. No announcement
regarding Monsieur Ferouhar’s removal from office has as yet been made.
2. Monsieur Hikmat, an account of whose career will be found under
No. 99 in my 1938 Personalities Report, was Minister of Education until
his sudden and unexpected dismissal reported in Mr. Butler’s telegram
No. 88 of the 15th July last [S. No. (65) in F. 7-N./38]. His record in
the Ministry of Education was a good one, and his return to favour is
encouraging..
