was deliberate. The competent authorities held strongly that it
v/ould be embarrassing in practice and unnecessary inasmuch as in
these cases action would devolve on Anglo-Persian Oil Company alone
and not on local Persian authorities. Minister for Foreign Affairs
thought on the contrary that thirty-six hours was reasonable, and
that omission of specified period would create trouble: period
might be, hov/ever, further reduced to twenty-four hours. I thanked
him but asked him to press the Ministry of bar in return for our
accommodation over Bombay to accept the procedure suggested in
my aide-memoire. He promi .od to do so and to let me know the
result by Saturday. I did not refer orally or in writing to the
second paragraph of your telegram No. 33 as I believe that this
is agreed.
3. At the end of the friendly interview I again asked him to
meet our wishes outright with a view to clearing away, while His
Majesty’s Minister was in London, certain disagreeable impressions
recently created in London, and India. His Excellency took this
in good part.
