5. I have told the ex-Shah that telegrams in
English and correspondence in English or French will
be forwarded subject to local censorship, and that
correspondence in Persian should be handed over to the
(joyernment for transmission via the British Ambassador,
Cairo, since Slcrine proposes to leave middle of November -
see paragraph 5 <pf Governor-General’s telegram to
or S. for India No*5616, as it would anpear unsafe
to send them via the British Minister, Tehran. Please
inform the Ambassador, Cairo, if you agree.
4. Following members of the party referred to
in paragraph 1 of Governor-General’s telegram No.5616
to S. or S. for India should, in the opinion of Sfcrine
and me, be repatriated as soon as convenient :-
No.12 who is stepsister not sister of No.2, and
No,14 who is the wife not of No.15 but of member of
Majlis .now in Tehran and has two children there.
Alternatively they enquire whether their relatives would
be allowed to visit Mauritius which would appear
undesirable unless they were prepared to remain here for
the duration of the ex-Shah’s exile. Numbers 5, 11 and
15 enquire whether their position is identical with that
of the ex-Shah and sons or whether they would be permitted
to visit other parts of the British Empire or neutral
countries other than Persia. As No.S^is most restless
member of the party, the satisfaction of any unobjectionable
demands and her tempor&iy absence will conduce to greater
contentment among the others. I do not think they should
be allowed to go elsewhere than South Africa.
5. I should be grateful for an early reply to the
questions in this telegram.
