I spoke to Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs in the sense
of second paragraph. His figures differed from those in second
paragraph of my telegram No. 475 onl y in that ten Germans with
expired permits have oeen told to leave instead of six. He
stated* however, that he had refused visa for additional Press
Attache for the German Legation and had forbidden Iranian (Persian)
representatives in Berlin and Angora to grant visas to members of
the staff of the German Legation in Tehran without reference to
him. I learn from outside, that two German journalists on their
way to Afghanistan have been unable to obtain permission to visit
provincial towns in Iran. Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs
could not say that any Germans had actually left, but promised
fugures. I pressed again for the expulsion of the [grp. undec.]
intriguer Mayr immediately, but was again met with a plea for a
few days to find evidence. There is no doubt that the Iranian
the situation now that Soviet
-v - are united on this point,
they consider that to expel a large portion of Germans would
be to side with the Allies and to abandon neutrality.
2. Both Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs and the
hinted that the Soviet Ambassador created
hafficulty by putting in writing a request for a four-fifths
reduction. On the other hand, they described the wording of
Mr. Hden s statement in the House of Commons as entirely correct.
1 do not think this was [grp. undec.] attempt to sow dissension
between us. I,did not know beforehand that the Soviet request
w S S xJ? ° e in or I should have asked whether you approved
of this procedure.
-j-i . Local press has been allowed to publish not only Mr.
ojden s _ statement but also details about Nazi programme for Eastern
countries (including Iran) among v/hose authors was archaeologist
Lilers now in Isfahan. In spite, however, of these signs of sense
and courage, I do not think many Germans will be expelled without
greater pressure.
