16. Department’s 35, February 14, 5 p.m.14 In conversations March 1 and 2 with the French arid German Ambassadors here, the Department presented its viewpoint regarding the following:
- (1)
- The desirability of the representatives in Persia of the capitulatory powers working along the same lines in order to obtain adequate safeguards to protect foreign nationals following the abrogation of the treaties; and
- (2)
- The necessity of urging the Persian Government to postpone the new system being put into effect, should that Government not accept satisfactory safeguards and should the latter not be in effect prior to May 10, 1928.
Next week a similar conversation will be held with the Italian Ambassador.
