the treaty could not now be resurrected, as the five years for which it had
been concluded had already expired. On the Japanese side too there was
some difficulty, the nature of which was not quite clear to me, but it was
to the effect that, the original treaty having been submitted to the Emperor
of Japan for approval, it would not have been proper to submit the same
treaty to him again. In any case, the upshot has been a short treaty on
the lines above described.
3. On the general question of Irano-Japanese trade the Minister was
rather pessimistic : he said that Japan bought here in order to sell in the
Iranian markets : Iranian goods were not however much liked in Japan.
In the case, for instance, of both cotton and wool a better quality could be
bought in other countries at a lower price.

Despatch from His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, to the Foreign Office,
London, No. 345 (252/9/39), dated the 31st October 1939.
As reported in my telegram Iso. 165 of October 28th, it was announced
after the meeting of the new Majliss on October 26th that Mr. Jam, the
Prime Minister, had been appointed Minister of the Court, and was to be
succeeded by Dr. Matin Daftary, the Minister of Justice. It has since
been announced that M. Bader, the Minister of Finance, has been replaced
by General Amir Khosrovi, the President of the National Bank. No
statement has been made as regards any future employment for M. Bader,
who disappears from the Government. The remaining Ministers are, I
am informed, to continue in their present posts.
2. The main interest of this re-shuffle is thus the elimination of M
Bader, who has generally been regarded as the most pro-German element
m the late Cabinet. As I have previously reported, it has been clear in
recent months that a struggle for the control of financial policy was pro
ceeding between M. Bader and General Amir Khosrovi. This has now
resulted in victory for the General, who will find himself in control of the
country s finances at a singularly difficult moment. There is reason to
