Your telegram 1251. :2 ‘ n " ? '
I communicated to Minister for Foreign Affairs
Aide-Memoire embodying Teheran telegram No. 198 and your
telegram No. 593 to Stockholm.
I have received now Aide-iM&noire from, the Russian
Government to the following effect:
Russian Government concur in the opinion of London
Cabinet as to the change which has taken place in the
conduct of Swedish officers in Persia. These officers
have in fact during the last few weeks shown wish to con
form themselves strictly to the orders of the Persian
Government. Their attitude towards ohe two Legations
has become much more correct and considerate. In fact
Russian Government are of opinion y Q ^ a 5 c ,°^n r . t +hat S the
the action taken by Captain Gleerup at Isp^anJ; ha ^ d ta ®
regrettable events which took .place in this town dia nor
degenerate still graver disorders. ^n-
Government do not think these officers
linitpd rnnf idence especially as there is no guarantee
SISi of WoSbL>ers%gBM^e S large mMriw
of whom are devoted to democratic party, will obey orde
of their superiors r In the event of resignation o
Parman Parma who may be considered as a partf Sc-n of
England and Russia, gendarmerie under a new faster 01
Interior would have still less right to our coniiaenc .
Nevertheless yielding to the argents of Embassies
Aide-Memoire , and in order not to provoke at such a dbli
cate moment conflict with uhe Medilis, which nouid ci
course raise lively oppositioxi to mm departure 01 tne
Sv;edish Officers,• the Russian uovernment see no oe> -
