Prime Minister has communicated to me two nptes addressed
to Soviet Ambassador regarding conditions in Soviet zone.
2. First dated March 26th complained that Soviet f
Consulate at Rezaieh with the assistance of local "People s
Committee" is inviting rhe population to register for Soviet
nationality.
3. .Second dated April 1st says that in spite of the
clear promises given in Moscow to cease propaganda of every sort
an organisation called "Workers Party 1, has been set up in
Persia and Azerbaijan with a political programme for the laws
to be in Azerbaijan language, court appeal to be in Azerbaijan
etc. This is stated to be clearly contrary to the treaty.
Propaganda also aims at tribal and provincial < councils equal
in status to the-international court and is directed against
Persian independence. Urgent suppression of the organisations
in question is requested. See in this connexion my despatch
No. 8i March 16th to. Foreign Office. . ,

3 and 4 of the enclosed: despatch fio*a Tabriz suggests present
Soviet attitude would allow local authorities to take action
against such offenders if they wished. Soviet ambassador
stated to-day that after repeated invitations from the
Soviet Consul to arrest leaders of such movements if they
wished, local authorities arrested one or two but released them
two days later. I will tell the Prime Minister that the fault
seems to be not all on one side and suggest he should instruct
his officials to take action. • T - : — -
