Pollcv;ing sent tc-day to Foreign Office No, 23-2;
My telegram Nc. 229.
Information having reached me privately that Shah : s
mind has been influenced against Forma Famia by democrats
and Germans by reviving an old story that Farma Farma is
plotting to dethrone him and that Shah had consequently
intimated to Ain-ed-Dowleh that Farma Farma should not
remqin in Cabinet, I called on Minister for Foreign Af
fairs this morning and told him in name of two Legations
that we regarded present struggle as a test case which would
shew whether or not Cabinet was going to continue to truckle
to the democrats and Germans and that if Government gave way
we should warn cur Governments that v/e could net nc longer
(sic) hold cut any hope that Riansian Government would
maintain (? real) neutrality by putting end to German in
trigues agafrst us and that we should advise cur Governments
(? to) consider w&at other measures could be taken uo protest
our interests. , ^
We desired His Excellency bo inform Shah of teregemg
and to explain to His Majesty’s irovernment that we sgcuid
have held precisely same view had attack been made on any
other member of Cabinet and that we therefore trusted That
His Majesty would give his support to present Caoinet and
inform Ain-ed Dcwlen that he wished Farma Farma, to retain
office. Russian Minister did not accompany me because he had
already sent a (? message omitted in very much uhe same
sense indirectly to Shah. A + rrln ^ r
I also told Minister for Foreign Affairs tha^ while
I understood that Government of India hac
the subject of Afghanistan I was quite confident considering
vastness of struggle we are engaged t m His Majesty s Gov
ernment was in nc mood to run any risks ane. i - - e~ yinn y-,
ernment would do nothing to step German emissaries wcuic.
