Persia in the event oi the aeiLana heint pressea, ana
in particular the possibility of retaliatory action on
the lines suggested hy the Governiiient of Inaia. I
doubt from the tone of the discussion last night
whether there is any hope of persuading the Poreign
Ofiice to include in the present telegram any
reference to retaliatory action, but as the draft as
it stands leaves tnis question entirely open we need
not pernaps press it on the Foreign Office.
Subject to the two drafting alterations
referred to in the attached letter to Lr. Henoel, I
submit that we may concur in the draft. I also attach
a draft telegram to the Government of India. The
Foreign Office telegram of 1st October to Tehran,
No♦103, flagged below, has been repeated to them, ana
tney will have seen from this that the Foreign Office
n have taken a firm stand against the Persian suggestions
in regard to the Political Department. But as tne
Government of India clearly feel strongly on tnis
subject and are very closely affected by the decision,
p a telegram on the lines of the draft attached would
perhaps be desirable?
Colonel Daly is at present in Lonuon and is
proposing to leave for Persia by car in the next few
days. He has been informed privately that difficulty
has arisen over his Exequatur, but the Foreign Office
at last night's meeting agreed tnat it would be very
undesirable to postpone his departure for meshed, even
if, as a result of the difficulties which nave arisen
with Persia, his position there might be rather awicwarc
for some time after his arrival and his Exequatur might
ultimately be refused.
