TOP SECRET
-2- 380, July 25, 4 p.m.g from Tehran.
American newspaper correspondent recently returned from
south is that, although morale of British is extremely
low, this is due to discouragement that British Government
has not (rpt not) taken direct action and to indignities
of having Iranians "push them around. 11 Incidents have
been magnified by company officials whereas correspondent
calls them to considerable extent "pin pricks to pride.
"
It is difficult in Tehran to appraise charges and counter-
charges as between British and Iranians although there is
no (rpt no) doubt that Iranian Government has acted unwisely
to say the least, and extremists such as Makki have been
arrogant and provocative.
Secondly, if British agree to send mission, the selection
of Minister to head it is of utmost importance. I can think
of only two, Morrison or Gaitskill Noel-Baker, Minister
of Fuel and Power, wld in my opinion be inadequate.
Iranian officials who knew Shawcross at UN speak well of
him but I have had no rpt no) direct dealings with Shawcross
and therefore have no ( rpt no) opinion. I feel perhaps
Gaitskill wld be best man. On other hand Morrison has
more prestige.
