Sir,
The Pereian Preee during the past fortnight has
contained few references to the oil dispute. Sir John Cadaan’s
departure from London on his way to Tehran has duly been
announced; no definite statement as to the return of the
Persian delegates to Tehran has however been seen in the press,
and rumours have not b'en lacking that Dsvar and Ala are too
frightened of their reception to return at all. A similar
story concerning Ali Quli Khan Ansari was however proved to
be false by the ex-minister 1 s return to Tehran at the end
of February, which was duly announced in the Press.
2. The ,f Ittil&’&t w of the 25th and E6th February publishes
four columns of translation of a radio speech broadcast by
the Minister of Justice Davar frou* Geneva at 10 p.m. on
Wednesday the 2oth January. The discourse follows the usual
lines developed in the Persian memoranda to the League. A
historical sketch of recent history of Persia is first given,
beginning from the Anglo-Kuesian Convention of 1907. The
various offences of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company are set
forth on familiar lines. The argument about the Finnish ships
is elaborated; though no mention is made of the "legal
decision' ? of the Majlis approving the cancellation of the
concession.
3. The "Kooshish" of the 28th February has a front-page
article named "The British Secret Service", translated from
a Swiss paper named apparently the "Courier de Voie" of the
9th
