Your telegram No,207 (of December 25rd - Henjam)o
Following from Mr, Rendel,
I fear it will not be possible to send you definite
instructions pending consultation with Admiralty and India
Oifice and news ol result oi your conversation of December
24th with Minister for Foreign Affairs (see last sentence of
your telegram No.206 (of December 24th)).
But Persian action, which is obviously calculated to
render our position at Henjam impossible;, appears to be
definite violation "beck of status quo M agreement” and of
bacir understanding of autumn of 1902 that demand for our
evacuation of Henjam would not be pursued so long as
negotiations were H in being” 0 In any case it seems quite
incompatiole w r ith professed desire of Persian Government to
resume negotiations^ and even if His Majesty's Government
should eventually agree to their resumption in spite of this
action, Persian Government will thereby have taken most
effective step to prejudice position and produce as unfavour
able as possible an atmosphereo
I see no reason why you should not take above line
with Minister for Foreign Affairs
from Secretary of State,
pending official instructions
