Sir,
Mr. Butler to Mr. Eden.—(Received June 29.)
Gulhek, June 12, 1936.
IN my despatch No. 246 of th^ 16th May, I had the honour to report on the
return of the Valiahd to this country. In the course of a conversation with the
Minister for Foreign Affairs yesterday, I questioned his Excellency about plans
for his (the Valiahd's) future. M. Samiy informed me that it had i>een definitely
decided that His Imperial Highness should remain in this country and commence
studies at the military academy. M. Samiy felt that, young though the Valiahd
was, it was important that he should now get to know his country as well as
contacts with the army.
2. I asked M. Samiy whether, now that the Valiahd had received the
diplomatic missions, it was intended that he should have social relations with
them. His Excellency seemed to find the question a little embarrassing, and said
that no decision on this point had yet been taken. I understand, however, that,
at any rate, the daughters of the Turkish Ambassador, who visit the Valiahd’s
sisters regularly, have also met His Imperial Highness.
3. I am sending a copy of this despatch to the Foreign Secretary to the
Government of India.
I have, &c.
NEVILE BUTLER.
