My telegram No. 1251. I have now had an
opportunity of discussing this proclamation with my
American colleague. He agrees with me that the issue of
such an order without any official warning or intimation
to the heads of missions here is extremely discourteous
and he does not propose to take cognisance of it until
he is directly informed. He also agrees that its effect
will be to clear the way for Communist activities but he
thinks that the Prime Minister himself may be chiefly
concerned to forestall the charge that members of his
Government are ‘‘taking their instructions from Soviet
Ambassador’ 1 .
2. As regards relative merits of accepting or
contesting the ban his natural instinct like my own would
be to contest it. On the other hand the Soviet
Ambassador will, no doubt, accept it with alacrity and
will then be credited with an innocence which he
certainly does not deserve as regards interference in
Persian armistice affairs. Mr. Allen and I on the other
hand will be decried as incurable meddlers. In other
v/ords our true rdles will be reversed.
About this item
- Content
The file contains reports, predominantly in the form of telegrams, by British diplomatic and consular staff on political and social developments in Persia; the content of the reports reflect British Government interests during the Iran-Azerbaijan Crisis of 1946. The reports cover developments within the Central Government, developments in the provinces, and the activities of the Democratic Party and the Tudeh Party. This includes accounts of meetings held by the British and United States Ambassadors – John Le Rougetel and George V Allen – with Ahmad Qavam (Prime Minister and Leader of the Democratic Party) and the Shah – Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The file also covers strikes and labour disputes, with those affecting the operations of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company being particularly predominant.
The strikes of oil workers in Agha Jari and Abadan in July 1946 are covered in the reports, as is a threatened revolt by the Bakhtiari and Kashgai tribes. Reports from the British Ambassador to the Soviet Union (Sir Maurice Drummond Peterson) cover Soviet press reporting of developments in Persia. A small amount of content is in French.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
