You r telegram No. 411 (n ot repeated to G-ovemment of
India).
Latest information is that some Germans from Tehran who had
stayed in Tabriz have gone to Turkey. Soviet Ambassador
professes to believe that German propaganda against the Caucasus
does not constitute danger but admits the possibility of sabotage
2. Soviet Ambassador and I made parallel representations to
the Prime Minister, and I have also seen the Acting Minister for
Foreign Affairs. Our impression is that the Iranian (Persian)
Government though conscious of German danger and already trying
to reduce numbers gradually, will not effect large reduction
either at once or within a short time. They argue that there is
no ground they can advance for such an action, that it would be
contrary to neutrality, and that it would embroil them with
Germany.
3. I am to see the Soviet Ambassador again 22nd July and
will telegraph again.
