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

Tehran, December 11, 1939—4 p.m.
[Received December 11—2:17 p.m.]

163. I called with Dodds, Hutchins and Allen7 on the Minister of Foreign Affairs this morning and referred to my note of October 138 [Page 537] (see my despatch No. 1705).9 He was very cordial and seemed impressed by the fact that representations [representative] had been sent all the way from America. He said nothing that would indicate the slightest change in the Government’s decision to proceed with the expropriation of the schools.

I shall also introduce the negotiations [negotiators] to the Prime Minister and to the Minister of Education.

Engert
