If, however, our respective Governments decide against our proposals, I
submit that we should at least try to induce Persian Government by giving
them assistance in money and arms which they ask for rather than adopt a
policy of drift and an ever (increase Pjing drift. Sooner or later this will of
course involve settlement of Bushire question on Persian terms, but it offers a
slight chance on the other hand of inducing Persian Government not to tacitly
encourage pro-German feeling in country.
It may however just as well have a contrary effect as it will show Persian
Government that His Majesty’s Government are wholly dependent on goodwill
of Persia.
Initial money inducement will have to he large, and will he necessarily-
limited by power (to) Imperial Bank of Persia to make advance. Advance
must also be given immediately and without waiting for concurrence of
Kussian Government.
