Dear Jope Slade,
I have just taken over from Pyhus and
am taking the opportunity of a "safe hand" to send hy
him a letter which is too late for inclusion in the
outgoing Foreign Office hag. My French colleague
told Pyhus he was much worried hy recent Italian
activity in the Gulf. He has just received a letter
from his Ministry of War asking him what he knows about
this and especially in connection with a prolonged tour
made recently in that region hy the Italian Naval
Attache (Commandant Bigi) in Tehran in the course of
his return journey from leave. This officer has spent
nearly a month in visiting hoth sides of the Gulf.
The Italian secretary (penacchio) was also in those

parts. An Italian cruiser was in the Gulf. Our
1
consul at Ahwaz reports in a diary the presence in nis
area of several Italian ex-employees of the contractors
of the Trans-Iranian Railway who, now that construction
is finished, are out of a joh and looking for work in
Bandar Shahpur and elsewhere. What does it all mean?
I work in closely with my French colleague and would
welcome for my sake as well as his any news you Can give me.
In case the Navy have spotted anything would you he so good
as to send a copy of this letter to the Senior Naval Officer
