call on the Shah when I received news of his attempted
assassination. If possible you should speak to him.
You may of course give him a suitable message of
congratulation from me in advance of something more
formal. If he is unable to attend to business for
the present, you should make the points in paragraphs
3 and 4 below to the Minister for Foreign Affairs or
the Prime Minister if available.
2. I think it would be unwise to suggest to him that
unless there is a complete change in the attitude of
the Persian Government His Majesty's Government must
review their policy towards Persia. What seems to
be happening is that the Persian Government are
allowing themselves to be driven by the campaign in
press and Parliament against the Bank and the Oil
Company into less reasonable behaviour towards them.
What is needed is not a change of attitude but a
stiffening, an attempt to lead public opinion
instead of being led by it. Until a week ago we had
no reason to complain of Golshayan's actions while
Hikmat's^interventions were usually successful. I
should like to bring them back to their former frame
of mind.
3. You should therefore say that His Majesty's
Government are surprised at the volume of hostile
criticism of the Oil Company and the Bank that has
sprung up recently, that these are the two most
important British interests in Persia and that His
Majesty’s Government would take it exceedingly ill
if they were treated unfairly. You should go on
to impress upon him the importance of these concerns
both to the United Kingdom and to Persia, on the
lines of paragraph 2
