In addition to refusal of facilities for goods at

tfves, aircraft material. For sugar, co-operation of
Netherlands East Indies and Russia would be necessary, for
tyres, co-operation of United States and Netherland East
Indies.
2. I have discussed with the Soviet Ambassador measures
which could be adopted by Soviet Russia. He is inclined to
recommend that his Government should
( 1 .) refuse to allow shipment of German goods consigned to
Iran which are lying at Baku*
$.)refuse to return to Iran goods now in Russia which
were on their way to Germany but had not been paid for (I
asked whether it would not be better to buy them. In any
case proof that payment had not been made would be required.
Germans usually pay when goods are despatched)
(3.)refuse to sell goods which are urgently needed in
Iran, eggs, sugar, cement, rails, paper, cotton goods, timber,
glass, building iron.
3. Ambassador agree s that it would be well to begin
with hints of possible economic pressure, not with a sort
of ultimatum, if Iranian Government refuses to act on
parallel representations which we expect to make July, 19th.
