Soviet Ambassador called on 10th July to discuss position
in Iran arid Afghanistan and to state his Government s view
regarding the necessity for immediate joint mea.sures tu cnecK
the serious threat to both countries of German infiltration
in Iran. In reply to my request what action the Soviet
Government had in mind, M. Maisky supposed we might jointly
summon Iranian (Persian) Government to turn tnese Germans
out on the grounds that they were a danger to neighbouring
countries, I asked whether Soviet Government had considered
what further action might be taken supposing Iranian
Government said that they could not dispense with these
Germans who were of importance to. Iran. fl. Maisky agreed we
should clear our rands on this point oefore we ; ,ook
step, and suggested that effective economic action mignt oe
possible if Iranian Government did not respond to our summons.
2. It was agreed that I would inform the Ambassador in
the very near future of our views, after we had crammed une
situation, particularly with regard to what.effective action
was at our disposal in the event oi an Iranian refused.
