IMPORTANT
My telegram No. 875 of 1942.
Member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs
us unofficially that the Russians have forced the Persian
Government to allow them to open a consulate in Shiraz,
He enquired why he [sic ?wej did not seize the
opportunity to ask for permission to reopen our consulate
at Resht.
2. Yfe have been thinking seriously of suggesting
this for some [? gp. omitted]. '.Thereas the rest of
Persia is covered by British consulates whose incumbents
keep us fully informed of what happens in their districts,
we have no one to report on Gilan and Mazanderan. Such
information as we get is gleaned either secondhand or
from occasional and hasty tours of this Embassy. The
proximity of these provinces to Russia makes it more
important now than ever that v/e should have observation
post there. The opening of the Russian consulate in
Shiraz gives us our opening.
3, Most urgent step is to obtain the Persian
Government’s permission while they are still amenable.
The question of an incumbent can be considered slightly
more at leisure. Career man with knowledge of Persian
and/or Russians would be best but until you can make a
suitable man available v/e could for instance send Savory
to carry on and leave Ramadan vacant temporarily.
Although Ramadan is important Resht I consider is more
so.
May I ask the Persian Government for permission as
proposed?
Foreign Office please pass important to the
Government of India as my telegram No. 290.
