I am directed hy Secretary Sir John Simon to request
you to inform Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare that he has, since the
return to this country on leave of absence of His Majesty’s
Minister to the Court of Persia, been in consultation with
Sir Reginald Hoare regarding the advantages and disadvantages of
re-opening, on Sir Reginald Hoare’s return to Tehran in the
autumn, the suspended negotiations with the Persian Government
for a general treaty settlement.
2. As a result, he considers that the arguments in
favour of a resumption of these negotiations are very strong.
Two main factors have led him to this conclusion - the reception
given by the Shah of Persia to the message from The King
delivered by Sir Reginald Hoare when taking leave of His
Imperial Majesty; and the probability that the only result of
a refusal to re-open negotiations would be a variety of
undesirable developments.
3. Sir Samuel Hoare will have observed from paragraph 1 oi
Sir Reginald Hoare’s despatch No .^ 273 o f the 3rd June, a copy of
which was enclosed in Foreign Office letter No. E 3279/1329/34 of
the 23rd June, that the manner in which the Shah received the
message from The King shows that His Imperial Majesty undoubtedly
regards the question whether negotiations will be resumed
already answered in the affirmative- Sir Reginald Hoaie has
