[Here follows text of the third paragraph of telegram No. 59, March 3, 1928, 5 p.m., to the Ambassador in France, printed supra.]
A similar conversation has taken place with the French Ambassador and will occur next week with the Italian Ambassador.
The discussion greatly interested the German Ambassador who agreed that, although nothing like a common approach or identic notes to the Persian Government was advisable, at Teheran the representatives of the various western powers should work together in greatest harmony.
The substance of his talk with the Department would be cabled immediately to his Government, he said, and he felt certain that the German Minister in Persia would receive instructions for close cooperation with the United States Minister there.
