Two members of the staff of Russian
Consulate in Ahwas called on me yesterday and
informed me that Russian Consul was going to
Tehran on February 24th to collect consirnmont
of Allied war propaganda material, books,picturea
etc. etc. which had been received from Moscow
and was destined for Abadan. They asked for my
assistance in obtaining accommodation to exhibit
this material, accommodation required being two
or three rooms in the bazaar area (as opposed to
Anglo-Iranian Oil Company) for a minimum of six
months. I could think of no adequate reason
for refusing assistance but tefporised by stating
that we had for some time ourselves been con
sidering opening a bookshop In Abadan and had
encountered various practical difficulties. I
suggested that as their Consul was visiting Tehran
he should raise the matter through his Embassy
in Tehran.
Before leaving, my callers made one or two
pertinent enquiries regarding the site of our
Consulate and the amount of work we had to do.
I gave non-committal replies. i
