No a 4 Saving,
Report, which I have been unable to confirm, has been
circulating here that at the recent audience with the Shall,
German representative handed personal message from Hitler
offering to guarantee frontiers of Iran, at the sane time
expressing the hope that the Shah would modify judgment of
the policy of neutrality, in favour of Germany. The Shah
is alleged to have replied that he did not feel threatened
by any of his neighbours and that he wished to remain on
friendly terms with all States,
My Turkish colleague mentioned the matter recently to
the Minister for Foreign Affairs who denied that the German
Minister had met His Majesty except on the occasion when he
presented his letters and at the reception of the Diplomatic
Corps during the celebration of the Persian New Year and
said there was no truth whatever in the report.
According to DRRB. message of March 26th from Berlin
signature of the Commercial Treaty between the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics and Iran is welcomed as proof
that reports of strained relations between the two
countries were unfounded; If German Minister has in fact
made any move it seems very likely that he spoke on similar
lines.
