o r. raj*. evident that His Bigness doe. not
read the newsier, and he admitted th* h. had not read
thio latest article, but readily undertook to read the copy
I had brought for his delectation.
He was c^uite amused when I told him that T
regarded myself a. the modern Sisyphus; every six months or
, 0 j 8B w the Shah and regularly flattered myself that I had
got the stone of his suspicions to the top of the hill, and
invariably a fortnight later, I found it speeding down again.
His Highness was entirely sympathetic, but was not encourag
ing, harping on the language difficulty when I said that I
supposed it was impossible to see the Shah oftener. He e.t
on to say that it was a great pity that His Majesty could not
read foreign papers for himself; I quite agreed and
suggested that an effort should be made to improve his sense
of proportion by translating for him occasionally a really
violent article about Herr Hitler or some other notability.
7. As we parted, I told Feroughl that I really
did not see how we could hope to conclude our treaty if the
Shah went on thinking, as the article showed he did, that we
had all sorts of mischievous ideas in our heads. He agreed
that such thoughts did not make matters any easier, but
expressed the conviction that we should reach the promised
land some day. X am quite sure that if we do Feroughi will^
be delighted.
Copies of this despatch are being sent to tne
foreign secretary to the Government of India Ho. kl. His
Majesty's *«|hs8.dor at Bagdad (Ho. IS) and the political
Resident at Bush!re (Ho. 16<).
I have the honour to be with the highest respect,

Your most obedient, humble servant,
