IMPORTANT.
Polish Charge d’Affaires has not received invitation to
dinner Marc^ 15th to celebrate Shah’s birthday though all other
foreign representations invited. He managed to obtain invitation
to the annual review by asking Minister for Foreign Affairs
personally but this time the Turkish Ambassador (most
unfortunately) has givbn him message that to invite him would be
awkward for the Iranian Government. The new German Minister is
shoy/ing great anti-British and pro-Russian activity and if the
Pole did not appear alt dinner it would be so great a blow to the
Allied prestige that I recommend that you authorise me to inform
i
the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the last resort that unless
the Pole is present I cannot attend. The fact that the Poles and
Iranians a.re bo ch members of the League of Nations justifies
Iranians in resisting German and, uussian pressure.
2. My French colleague is taking a similar action. The
Belgian Minister proposes to take a strong line and even the
Turkish Ambassador proposed to join in the protest.
5. I request immediate instructions.
