It is
since confirmed that this is the Shah’s impression,
clear, in Sir John Simon’s opinion, that, were His Majesty’s
Government to refuse to re-open negotiations, or were they to
adopt a temporising attitude on the point, His Imperial
Majesty would regard them as having gone back on an undertaking.
4. As regards the second consideration referred to above,
Sir Reginald Hoare has explained that it was clearly understood
last November, as between himself and Teymourtache, wno was
at that time virtually in charge of Persia’s foreign relations,
that the Persian demand for the abandonment of the British naval
depot at Henjam was to be regarded as of no effect so long as
negotiations for a treaty settlement were in being. Sir
Reginald Hoare is of opinion that, while on the one hand there
is no action open to His Majesty’s Government which would induce
the Persian Government formally to withdraw their note embodying
their demand for the abandonment of the depot, that demand may be
regarded for all practical purposes as no longer in being, until
such time as negotiations are agreed to be at an end.
5. Sir Reginald Hoare has further stated that the question
of the resumption of the negotiations will inevitably arise
immediately after his return to Tehran. If he does not himself
broach the question, the Persian Government will do so and a
definite answer will be necessary. If it were then to become
clear to the Persian Government that His Majesty’s Government
did not propose actively to resume negotiations with a view to
reaching a general treaty settlement, Sir Reginald Hoare
considers it virtually certain that the demand ior the evacuation
of the naval depot at Henjam would be revived and pressed to its
logical
