misunderstanding, I should like to make it clear that the right of asylum

Despatch from His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, to His Majesty’s
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, London, No. 73 (318/2
/37), dated the 27th February 1937.
I have the honour to report that a parade of troops took place at the
race-course at Jalaliych on the 23rd February, the anniversary of the coup
d’ etat of 1921. This year invitations were issued to the whole of the Diplo
matic corps, who were accommodated in a specially built stand of concrete,
a great improvement on the tents of previous years.
2. The following remarks on the parade are made up on the basis of the
report submitted by Major Pybus, No. 78/1936 of the 28th February 1936
(S. No. 40 of File No. 31-N/36). I am indebted to the French Military atta
che for some of the detailed information.
3. The parade was announced to start at 1-30 p.m. It was very
well attended, and the staff arrangements for parking cars were much better
than those of last year. Special invitations had been sent to the Tehran
correspondents of English papers and newsagencies. The large race-course
grand-stand was full of deputies of the Majlis, government officials, and promi
nent members of the Iranian and European population of Tehran. Top-
hats were the correct dress for the stands ; and a remarkable number of this
form of head-gear were seen, the most original exhibit being that of a deputy
who had put on a black Honburg hat with the depression at the top pushed
out. The bank of foreign Military Attaches was strengthened by the pre
sence of Colonel Hans Rohde, the newly-arrived German Military Attach^
for Angora, Athens, and Tehran.
4. The various units were drawn up in good time on the northern side of
the race-course. The weather was not so cold as last year, and flying condi
tions were satisfactory, with a light wind only. His Majesty arrived about
2 p.m. in the same venerable Rolls-Royce as last year. He was not accom
panied by the pahlevi Queen or by the two princesses. The only explana
tion which I have heard of their absence is that they were too busy preparing
themselves for the two marriages which are due to take place in a few days.
The Shah was however accompanied by six of his sons, viz., the Vali-ahd
and the five younger princes, Ali Reza, Gholam Reza, Abdul Reza, Ahmed
Reza, and Mahmond Reza. All were dressed in khaki great-coats. His
Majesty first rode up to the troops who were waiting on the north side of the
race-course, and inspected them for about ten minutes.
5. The march-past of troops began shortly afterwards. The Shah took
the salutes from the same pavilion as last year, and appeared pleased with
what he saw. He conversed occasionally with the Crown prince, and with
42(C) ExAffairsDept.
