Iran's ov/n interests, of effecting a drastic reduction in
cheir numbers. There can indeed be no doubt, in view of
what has happened in many other countries, that these persons
employed, v/henever it may seem to the German Govern
ment that the appropriate moment has arrived, to create dis
orders, either in Iran herself or in neighbouring countries,
with a view to assist the execution of Germany's military
plans.
Towards the end of July, His majesty's Government,
realising that the representations previously addressed on
.he subject to the Iranian authorities had remained without
effect, instructed their representative at Tehran again to
impress upon the Iranian Government, as a matter of the
utmost gravity and urgency, the need for taking immediate
action, xn view of the ever-increasing danger of the war
situation, Sir R. Bullard was instructed to press for a
drastic reduction in the number of Germans who were permitted
to remain in the country.
5. The Iranian Government appear to recognise in
principle the wisdom of the advice given to them by His
Majesty's Government and have indicated that they are taking
steps to ensure that Germans whose residence permits have
expired, whose conduct is suspect, or who can be replaced
by Iranians, should leave the country as soon as possible.
The Iranian Government have also admitted the obligations
incumbent upon them to keep under strict control the
activities of such Germans as remain. The number of Germans
who have in fact left the country is, however, very small,
and it appears that the Iranian Government have still
failed to realise the urgency of the problem and the gravity
with which it is regarded by His majesty's Government,
6 . In these circumstances, His hajssty's Government
now wish-to repeat, in the most formal and emphatic manner,
their recommendation that the German community in Iran should
be required to leave the country without any further delay.
/♦ If the Iranian Government should wish to retain
temporarily a few German technicians now engaged on important
work in connexion with Iranian industrialisation projects, it
is requested that a complete list showing the names of those
technicians whom it is desired to retain and the exact nature
of the work on which they are employed should be communicated
to His majesty's Representative at Tehran, His Hajesty's
Government would expect this list to be kept as small as
possible. His Majesty's Government would themselves be
willing to assist the Iranian Government by endeavouring to
a.ind suitably qualified British or neutral experts to replace
I the German technicians who have left and they would gladly
! concert with the Iranian Government measures to alleviate
)< | any temporary hardships that might be caused by the simul
taneous departure of so large a number of trained personnel.
