The Chargé in Iran (Engert) to the Secretary of State

Teheran, July 6, 1937—5 p.m.
[Received July 7—4:56 a.m.]

44. Some 15 high ranking Persian Government officials attended the Legation’s Fourth of July reception. Among them Minister for Foreign Affairs who stayed over an hour, several other Cabinet Officers and the President of the Parliament. They explained that others had been unavoidably detained by signing of treaty with Iraq¹¹ same afternoon and by preparations for official dinner same evening. I gained the impression that the Government had definitely decided to resume normal friendly relations with this Legation.
