Representations to Iranian (Persian/ Government regarding
expulsion of Germans]i. &
I would prefer not to inform the Iranian Government
present that His Majesty s Government unless
eiiective action is taken in the immediate future, will be
*2 re-examine their policy in regard to Iran. I
think that you have already conveyed to them a hint to
loiVF? 0 ? w i 1 ?5u? ctin § on instructions in my telegram No.
XoT July 14th]. A more definite threat had better be
postponed until we and the Russians are in a position to
exercise pressure.
Meanwhile, you should inform the Iranian Government
that the setting up of^two commissions to look into the
question of f the expulsion of Germans from Iran seems to
nis Majesty s Government to be merely a measure which is
likely to cause delay. His Majesty s Government expect to
be informed immediately of definite results. More than a
week^has now elapsed since our representations. Would
Iranian Government therefore be good enough to state how
many Germans have been informed that they must at once leave
the^ country, and how many have left. You should continue
to.impress upon Iranian Government the seriousness with
which His Majesty s Government view this matter.
