Sir,
I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty to refer to your letter of 4th March
(K. 1111/208/34) forwarding copies of despatches dated
13th and 17th February from H.M.Minister, Tehran,
concerning the General Treaty negotiations with Persia,
and to your letter of 16th March forwarding copy of a
letter of same date addressed to the India Office
commenting on those despatches and to request that the
following observations may be put before the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs.
2. My Lords attach great importance, as has been
explained recently in the joint memorandum for the
Middle IDast Committee prepared in consultation with
your Department, to every effort continuing to be made
to obtain a formal lease of Hen jam and They consider
that Mr. Hoare’s conversations with the Persian Minister
of Court reported in the above-mentioned despatches give
grounds for hoping that it may yet be possible to achieve
this result.
wnde r Secretary of State,
Foreign cotice. s.w. i.
