r To.247 from India, the Admiralty agree that it would
;iot be wise to attempt to make a direct bargain with

suggested in his Telegram No.217. At the dame time
we think that Motamedy’s proposals for Abadan reported
in Enatehbull Hugessen’s Telegram No.56 are h rdly an
adenunte response for the facilities which they desire.
e suggest, therefore, that Knatchbull Hugcssen should
be instructed to continue his efforts to get an
arrangement on the lines contemx>lated in your Telegra*
