would not accept the mission if Schacht was to be in Iran
at any time while he was advising the Iranian Oovernment.
In fact he had put a clause into his agreement which
provided that Mossadeq would not employ any other foreign
economic adviser, either in that capacity or as an oil
consultant while he, Gutt, was carrying out his mission.
Mr. Nitze said that we were concerned with the time
element. We felt that affairs in Iran were approaching
a crisis and that it might be important to move promptly.
Mr. Gutt said that he fully agreed. He did not believe,
however, that he could be in Iran prior to November 2,
and he thought it would take two or three weeks after his
arrival before he could report on the Bank of Issue and
taxation problems and he hoped that he would have developed
sufficient confidence for Mossadeq to ask him to address
himself to the oil question.
Mr. Gutt said that he thought it would be all right
if we told the British that we had seen him and hoped that
we would not discuss the conversation in detail.
He said that when he arrived in Iran he would communi-
eate any ideas that he had either through the UN man in
Iran or through Loy Henderson. He appreciated that Loy's
channels of communication would be preferable if he wished
to get any confidential message back to us in a hurry.
