“...see the Shah to discuss
the question of domestic reforms in Iran.
A detachment of British and Indian troops recently paid a
formal visit to the Russian Troops at Kazvin.
The view that by the end of the winter Germany will hardly be
able to carry on the war owing to Russia’s resistance and the
continued R.A.F. raids is quoted at Ankara from the lips of a
German air force officer at present stationed in Athens.
Five ringleaders of the Rashid Ali revolt in Iraq, who fled to
Iran after its collapse, have expressed a desire to return to Iraq
for trial by court martial.

accepted, they will drain the country of goods, while
others have enquired whether, if they trade with Germany,
they will be blacklisted by the British, who now control
the markets in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and the Empire, as well
as supplies coming by these routes. Thus, for one reason
or another, the chances of a successful issue of the present
talks are extremely slender.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom Commercial Corpora-
tion, Britain’s buying agent in the East, has not been idle.
It is now reported that the Corporation has bought up the
whole of Turkey’s raisin crop and a large part of her fig
crop—valuable foodstuffs of which Germany is known to
be in need—a transaction which must have...”
