Soviet nnbassador has presented to Minister for Foreign affairs
note nrotesting strongly against tone of press. I have not yet
obtained full details officially hut I understand the note alleges
that the evil tendency has been narked since the present Persian
Prine Minister took office and ends with a threat that unless
Persian military authorities do something there will be serious
repercussions. Objection was taken to a cartoon, suggesting a
parallel between Russians in North Persia now and in Czarist # tines
and from an interview granted to the press^ by the Persian Prime
Minister it appears that trouble had also been, caused by the
allegations in certain newspapers that Soviet Trade delegation had
brought in arris for distribution and that the communist party had
been formed in their presence.
2. No press could be more scurrilous and irresponsible than,
the Persian Ibut on, the other hand the worst newspapers _ include some
which are closely [grp.undec.? connected with] the Soviet Embassy
and are consistently anti-British. Moreover protest comes ill
from an Embassy which recently broadcast PravcLa article as culture
from Persian Government’s own radio station and printed it in. its
own official Persian newspaper.
.Foreign Office please pass to Government of India as my
telegram No, 190,
