Your telegra m No. 430.
Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs informs me that he is
unable to give me the numbers of Germans ordered to lea\/e and of i<he
departures and can only assure me that the necessary measures aie
being taken. Ke hinted that this reticence was due to the
publication on the part of the English press of che steps already
taken (perhaps those in my telegram No. 1-61_) nnd consequently bhe
accusation by the German Government that the Iranian Government are
acting under British pressure. The Shah seems to suppose thao he
can eliminate enough Germans to satisfy His Majesty’s Government
without the German Government noticing it. Acting Minister i.or
Foreign Affairs is far too intelligent not to realise^ hie futility
of such a policy but it is evident thau he can do notning.
