for an exequatur on Ijehalf of an officer from India,
whether or not to provoke a crisis of a grave nature by a
refusal*
g, I then repeated that if the Persian
Government pressed their point of view now I was not
authorised to discuss it, but would have to state that
His Majesty^ Government were not prepared to resume the
treaty negotiations and that I should in due course convey
to the Minister for Foreign Affairs the views of my
Government.
7 # My impression was that Suheili was
genuinely surprised to learn that Kazemi had never broached
the question to me and that he realised that a bad blunder
had been committed. At the same time he made it clear
that when the Persian Government reached their present
j decision "some/time ago" the main factor was the question
of prestige, and I therefore anticipate that, though they
may grant the two exequaturs now in question, they will
not be prepared to drop the matter.
8 # When the Prime Minister returns from Meshed
I shall seek an interview with him and endeavour to enlist
his support, but I shall be surprised if I elicit anything
less useless than an expression of his hopes that our
respective Governments will some day reach an understanding*
9 , I am sending copies of this despatch to the
Foreign secretary to the Government of India (Ho. 206), to
the Acting Poetical Resident in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. (Ho. 172),
and to the Acting Consul-General for Khorasan at . eunea

I have the honour to be with the highest respect,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
