Begins.
The attention of the Imperial Iranian (Persian)
Government has frequently been drawn to the need for
taking action to secure the removal from Iran of the .
German community. The presence of German technical
experts and advisers throughout Iran, employed in
factories, and in -public works, as well as on
roads and railways - , and in many other important posts
where their activities might constitute a serious danger,
is regarded by His Majesty’s Government in the United
Kingdom as a matter of the utmost gravity, which closely
affects their own interests. His Majesty s Government
have therefore repeatedly urged that a drastic reduction
should be made in the number of these Germans, These
friendly representations to the Iranian Government
culminated in the memorandum communicated to them on the
16th itugust. in which the Iranian Government were urged
once again to take steps to arrange for the German
community to leave Iran without any further delay. This
communication of the 16th August contained a proposal devised in
order to meet Iran's special needs, by^which a few Geiman
technicians engaged on important work in connexion with
Iranian industrialisation projects might be retained
temporarily, and it was suggested that a list of^those
German nationals whom it might be desired to retain for
essential work should be communicated to His Majesty s
Minister without delay. His Majesty's Government also offer
in this communication of the 16th August, to assist the
Iranian Government by endeavouring to find suitably qualified
