My iamediately preceding telegram.
Minister for jforeign Affairs was greatly dis
tressed and said he could not understand why nis majesty's
Government had taken this attitude seeing that the
Persian Government had expressed readiness to negotiate
new concession. I replied that i^ersian Government had been
guilty of an arbitrary action for which there was neither
legal nor moral justification. They had aggravated
matter by celebrations enforced by house to house visits
by police and by speech of Minister of jflnance yesterday
in which he had sought to justify action taken by
alleging that Company had categorically refused to
negotiate last summer, whereas actual reply of Company was
amply justified by urgency of crisis threatening oil
industry of world. Minister for jforeign Affairs urged
that a settlement was to fefctafci the mutal advantage.
^85 i agreed and, repeating language reported in my
telegram iio. 195, i begged him to examine facts for him
self, when he would realise that first stap towards settle
ment was withdrawal of letter to Company. Matter was urgent,
as present uncertainty was obviously most harmful.
Shah left for 'xurioman races today and is
expected to be absent about ten days.
