I agree with Sazanoff’s view that our best course is to endeavour to induce
present Shah to remain as he seems inclined to do and that we must briner
back his father if he should abdicate.
Russian troops are about to move towards Kum and when they are
established thfere I think, except in event of serious reverse to Russians at
Hamadan, there is but little danger of Shah going south.

To-day Russian Minister was invited to Palace. He found Shah very
anxious to conclude Alliance to effect which His Majesty said a change of
Cabinet is necessary, ^hah himself was in favour of a Sepahdar’s Cabinet, but
this combination is a half measure at best and I think our position is now
strong enough to discard such measures.
Sepahdar, moreover, though we can trust his good intentions is too flighty
and his Cabinet already formed on paper would contain elements ^ of a very
undesirable kind. On the other hand Barman Parma has succeeded in acquir
ing a great (?) influence wit h Shah and he is I believe ca.mhl*
