IMS DIRTS ,
Minister of Finance told me today that in spite of all
rumours to the contrary no decision had yet been reached about
elections*
2 . Tudeh are still pressing for polling to start at
the beginning of November and for formation of a democratic
front with lersian Democratic x arty. On the otter hand
religious leaders and representatives of the merchant
community are seeing the Prime Minister today to urge him to
postpone the election until agreement is reached with
Azerbaijan and they have threatened to issue a public
manifesto to that effect.
5. M. Hajjir said that the government were considering
appointing polling inspectors upon the basis of whose
reports any given election could constitutionally be declared
null and void. Minister went on to say that it would greatly
strengthen the Prime Minister's hand at this critical
juncture if he could announce in general ters the conclusion
of a satisfactory arrangement with His Majesty's Government
for dealing with current financial problems*
4, While M. Hajjir no doubt hopes to secure all the
financial advantage he can for his country out of existing
political situation we can hardly blame, him for this.
Moreover ii is most unlikely that -we shall in future secure
terms
About this item
- Content
The file contains reports, predominantly in the form of telegrams, by British diplomatic and consular staff on political and social developments in Persia; the content of the reports reflect British Government interests during the Iran-Azerbaijan Crisis of 1946. The reports cover developments within the Central Government, developments in the provinces, and the activities of the Democratic Party and the Tudeh Party. This includes accounts of meetings held by the British and United States Ambassadors – John Le Rougetel and George V Allen – with Ahmad Qavam (Prime Minister and Leader of the Democratic Party) and the Shah – Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The file also covers strikes and labour disputes, with those affecting the operations of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company being particularly predominant.
The strikes of oil workers in Agha Jari and Abadan in July 1946 are covered in the reports, as is a threatened revolt by the Bakhtiari and Kashgai tribes. Reports from the British Ambassador to the Soviet Union (Sir Maurice Drummond Peterson) cover Soviet press reporting of developments in Persia. A small amount of content is in French.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
