It is possible that the presence ot Russian troops
at Odessa aggravated local situation at Ispahan by causing
centre of German activities to be transferred thither from
Tehran but otherwise their presence has been most beneficial
and it would be difficult to imagine surer way of enhancing
German influence and prestige than by giving way to Ain-ed-
Dowleh’s request as concession would be represented and
rightly so by Turkish and German owned press as a conces
sion extorted by German pressure.
Government have just shown signs of dealing with
quite unwonted energy with German agitators having actually
disarmed followers of German agent who was proceeding to
Meshed, agent himself being sent back to- Teheran,while they
have induced German Minister to recall Wassmuss. This is
result of presence of Russian'troops.
Russian Minister has already given assurances of with
drawal as scon as situation permits and has premised to settle
various Persian grievances $UiOh aq ■collection of Maliat by
Russian Consuls, His attitude is perfectly con-
Q5i4iatory and taken uogether with contemplated measure
of financial support which we have informed Persian Gov
ernment is being favourably considered by the two Govern
ments should be ample to convince all but most rabid anti-
Russian democrats of our good intentions. Presence
of Russian troops has been interpreted as sign that we
cannot be tolerant any longer and demand for their with
drawal is only put forward by nin-ed-Dowleh as a sop to
democrats-
