LONDON,

An
auth
orized
spokesman
said
yesterday
that
Germany
and
Iran
are
in
active
contact
with
each
other
over
the
situation
arising
from
the
invasion
of
Iran
by
Great
Britain
and
Russia
but
declined
to
disclose
the
nature
of
the
negotiations.
Iran's
small
navy
has
been
virtually
wiped
out
by
British
war
vessels
and
the
Iranian
Admiral
Bayendor
has
been
killed
leading
a
counter-attack,
Reuters
reported
today.
Collapse
of
Iranian
resistance
within
the
next
three
days
was
predicted
by
well-informed
diplomatic
sources
today
as
Russian
forces,
smashing
southward
into
Iran,
were
reported
to
have
cap
tured
the
country's
second
city,
Tabriz,
while
British
armies,
striking
northward,
advanced
forty
miles.
Riza
Shah
Pahlevl,
these
sources
believed,
realizes
that
Iran's
position
is
hopeless
,
and
the
British
and
Soviet
representatives
in
Teheran
have
convinced
him
that
he
should
come
to
terms.
So
far
there
has
been
no
indication
that
Iranian
defence
has
been
other
than
the
token
variety.
