I
I think it likely that 'Turkish public reaction to our
measures against Persia will be unfavourable and. I expect
local press comment to miay be hostile. ixt Press
Bureau here to-day Turkish officials were evidently upset
- - journalists *did not* conceal
and in conversation with foreign j^u.x^
their criticism of ^Jiglo-Soviet policy,
"fifth column" in Persia was poo
policy.

I am informed, a certain amount of bluster on the unpleasant
reception the Russians and we ’would receive ix we embarked
on similar action towards Turkey.
2. I learn that news caused an upset in Istanbul^
(Constantinople) where in cafds and elsewhere
discussion is probable attitude of Germans in the face of
this new development. There is evidence of some popular
apprehension on this score.
5. Persian Embassy seemed taken by surprise and
displayed agitation on hearing news. # Members of the stall
informed journalists that (a) they still hoped for conversa
tions to be continued and (b) that Germany had promised
help to Persia.
4 . I have the impression that it has not bpen
sufficiently emphasised that we have been discussing the
question with Persian Government since last January.
