My telegram No. 519*
Prime Minister called yesterday evening late. He
began by talking of resigning, as he said that (gr,
undecypherable ?in) face (of) public opinion, he could
not hope to carry through his policy of the alliance,
offensive alliance against Turkey was impossible and
would result in civil war, Persia did not wish to get
involved in war, and preferred to remain neutral. He
suggested that tor the present he should continue his
efforts to win over public opinion by pointing out ad
vantages to Persia of alliance and of beginning nego
tiations when the country was less hostile to the idea.
We said that after 16 months experience, it was
idle to talk of a policy of neutrality, which would in
evitably result in Persia being forced to join^our
enemies. No rniddle course was Poesibl^Persia must
