of Germans who have been allowed to enter Iran are
alleged to be necessary in order to instal machinery
which the Iranian Government have purchased in Germany;
but surely the numbers of these so-called experts can
and should be most drastically reduced, and surely in any
case the need for countering any attempt-to stage a
political crisis in Iran is far greater than the need
for haste in installing German machinery. Would not
therefore His Majesty be well-advised to order the •
immediate withdrawal from Iran of all these German agents
except possibly one or two who are knovm to be genuine
^ experts, and who could, be placed under strictest
' supervision?
