My telegram No. 1670 paragraph 5.
^ -
In spite of the Prime Minister’s statement to me
that electoral coalition with Tudeh was agreed in
principle on October 11th and would shortly be
announced there has so far been no sign of this.
2 . I hear that the matter is under continuous
discussion and Tudeh press is maintaining demand for a
joint platform and a common list of candidates embracing
all “freedom loving" parties. It criticises the committee
recently appointed to supervise elections on the ground
that it is composed exclusively of members of the Prime
Minister's own party.
3. It is generally believed that delay in the
formation of new "front" is due to the Prime Minister's
insistence on conditions which are unacceptable to
Tudeh. If this proves to be the case and the Prime
Minister sticks to his guns I shall feel obliged to
reconsider the conclusion drawn in paragraph 2 of my
telegram No. 1677 that he has no longer any liberty of
action. This would obviously have a direct bearing on
appreciation in paragraph 4 of my telegram No. 1682.
Foreign Office please pass to Washington as my
telegram No. 379.
[Repeated to Washington as telegram No. 9920].
About this item
- Content
The file contains reports, predominantly in the form of telegrams, by British diplomatic and consular staff on political and social developments in Persia; the content of the reports reflect British Government interests during the Iran-Azerbaijan Crisis of 1946. The reports cover developments within the Central Government, developments in the provinces, and the activities of the Democratic Party and the Tudeh Party. This includes accounts of meetings held by the British and United States Ambassadors – John Le Rougetel and George V Allen – with Ahmad Qavam (Prime Minister and Leader of the Democratic Party) and the Shah – Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The file also covers strikes and labour disputes, with those affecting the operations of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company being particularly predominant.
The strikes of oil workers in Agha Jari and Abadan in July 1946 are covered in the reports, as is a threatened revolt by the Bakhtiari and Kashgai tribes. Reports from the British Ambassador to the Soviet Union (Sir Maurice Drummond Peterson) cover Soviet press reporting of developments in Persia. A small amount of content is in French.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
