P.3845, relative to the proposed subsidy to Kawam and
Soulet ed Douleh for the restoration of order in Pars, I
jam directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to transmit to
you, herewith, a copy of a telegram from His Majesty’s
Minister at Tehran requesting that an early decision may
V 7 ^ 100 come in ITlaJo ‘ ter *
Sir E. Grey is of opinion that, in view of the
present critical situation in Persia, it would be
undesirable to omit any possible means of securing the
*
active co-operation of such important factors as Soulet
and Kawam, and he would be prepared, if Mr. Secretary
Chamberlain sees no objection, to authorise His Majesty’s
Consul at Shiraz to open negotiations with Soulet on the
basis proposed, and to concur generally in Mr. Marling’s
suggestions as contained in the telegram from the Govern
ment of India enclosed in your letter under reference.
I am to request that Sir E. Grey may be favoured with
an early expression of Mr. Chamberlain’s views on the
matter in order that he may be in a position forthwith to
)
approach the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty’s Treasury
with a view to one half of the total estimated expenditure
