73. Department’s mail instruction No. 621 of May 31.59 The treaty section of the Persian Foreign Office objects to the refusal of the consulate at Teheran to issue a nonimmigrant treaty-alien visa and claims a contravention of the favored-nation stipulation in paragraph 2 of the provisional arrangement dated May 14 between Persia and the United States.60 Unless the principle involved is clarified satisfactorily, difficulties may be encountered in regard to other provisions of that agreement. Has the Department any further instructions?
