CQNyil^NTIAL :
British Legation,
Tehran.
»rd Mar eh 9 1935.
Sir,
ive the honour to report that Mirsa
Ghaffar Khan Jelal, the head of the Kngliah Seetion
in the Ministry of Foreign Affaire, has been appointed
Persian Minister at Washington.
2. Jelal vae for many years attached to the
Persian Legation in London, at the time vhen hia uncle,
the late Prince Ala-es-Suitaneh, was Minister. He
subsequently served in Sweden and Home and also became
Minister at Cairo. While at Rome his agr^ment for
Washington was asked for and given: however he did not
proceed, but went to Cairo instead,
3. Jelal has at all times shown himself most
friendly and helpful while occupying his present post at
the Ministry and I shall keenly regret his departure,
which can hardly fail to make the conduct of current
business even more difficult than at present. It is
possible that his friendliness might at times have been
more effective had his intelligence allowed him to grasp
more quickly or more clearly where the point of the
difficulty lay, but with all his limitations it was
A
pleasant to know that there was one signle-mlnded man
in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
4. Madame Jelal is a good-looking and pleasant
/Englishwoman,

About this item
- Content
Papers reporting on various treaties and agreements signed between the Persian [Iranian] Government, and other foreign powers. The agreements and related papers were sent by the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the Under-Secretary of State for India, accompanied by a cover note. The file includes the texts of a number of these agreements, all of which are in French. In some instances, copies of correspondence between government representatives are appended to the agreements, as are newspaper cuttings reporting agreements.
The file also includes papers and British Government correspondence relating to a break in diplomatic relations between Iran and France from 28 December 1938 to 19 February 1939, in response to articles about cats ( chats ) appearing in the French press, perceived by the Iranian Government to be an allusion to the Shah.
