settled, 11
Mirza Abol-Hassan Khan FOROUGHI, representative of Persia.-
I have the honour to announce my Governments entire approval
of the report placed before the Council. I have nothing further
to add. I wish merely to express my happiness at having had
this opportunity of making before the Council a statement
testifying to the better relations between my Government and
that of His Britannic Majesty.
I cannot fail to renew the expression of gratitude tendered
by my predecessor to the Council in connection with this
incident nor to offer our warm thanks to the Rapporteur, M.Benes,
and to the Secretary General for all the trouble they have
taken and the impartiality they have shown.
Sir John Simon.- I am very happy to be able to join with
the representative of Persia in expressing, on behalf of my
Government, our satisfaction that this troublesome matter has
been brought to a complete agreement, and, at the same time,
to join in thanking the Rapporteur, M.Benes, for the useful
part which he has played in bringing about and reporting that
result.
My colleagues will recall that it was my duty some time
ago to bring this matter before the Council, and that the
points of view of the Government of the United Kingdom and
that of Persia were then put before the Council. At that time,
it was still uncertain whether agreement could be reached by
the method which is consecrated for use in such cases when
Governments are not at one here at Geneva.
I take great satisfaction in thinking that the action of
the United Kingdom Government in bringing the matter to the
Council has resulted in an agreement which is both complete
in itself and expresses the continued good relations which, I
am sure, will always exist between the Government of Persia
and the Government of the United Kingdom.
The Council took note of the Rapporteurs rej^ort.
(The Council went into private session.)
