notice of the Foreign Ofi ice, "but the whole matter would have
been dealt with within two or three days. This was just one
of the tiresome questions which I had hoped to see disposed of
rapidly. I was leaving for the Gulf on 7th February and must
press for a satisfactory reply by that date.
4. Monsieur Soheily informed me that he had had two
separate reports from the Ministry of War but had refused to
accept them on the ground that they did not form a suitable
basis for a reply to me. Apparently these reports attempted
to justify Lieutenant Darayazda's conduct on the ground that
the "Garmsir" was in Persian territorial waters and was
consequently out of order in flying the red ensign.
Monsieur Soheily evidently did not support this argument.
I said that it seemed to me to be untenable. I could not
accept the territorial waters argument and in any case it
did not justify the officer’s conduct.
I handed ..onsieur Soheily the aide-memoire of
22nd January (of which a copy is enclosed) which I had shown
him on that date. He read it and, of his own choice, kept
it. He assured me that the matter would be cleared un
before I left on 7th February.
