FOR INFORMATION.
This despatch speaks for itself.
It will be-clear from it that, not for the
-v
first time,' Sir Robert Clive has rather
shifted his ground. He comes round at last
to the view which we have consistently held
that His Majesty’s Government are unlikely to
be seriously inconvenienced if no general
Treaty is concluded. He expresses tue
opinion that "the Persian dislike of finality
implies equally an aversion to extreme measures
of any kind", and that it is unlikely
therefore that they will go beyond pinpricking
in Henjam - the only point the disposal of
which is in the Minister's view of immediate
importance to us. He further emphasises
both that there is a point beyond which the
Persian Government will never venture to go

Content

The majority of the correspondence in this part is internal correspondence between British officials, but it also contains a limited amount of correspondence in French that was exchanged between the British Minister in Tehran, Sir Robert Clive, and Teymourtache.

In addition to this correspondence, this part contains the following document: 'Memorandum by Admiralty and Foreign Office, dated 23rd, 1932 on the subject of the British Naval Depot at Henjam' (folios 553-564).
