I explained urgency of this matter to Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs yester
day. He said he was in doubt as to juridical position as regards Russian treaty
rights which would result from convention taken together with additional declara
tion. He alluded particularly to power given to Commission by article 7 to inflict
imprisonment in certain cases. He promised me a reply as soon as. he hears from
Russian Ambassador at Constantinople.

Constantinople, November 19,1913,
Your telegram No. 539 of 17th November : Shatt-el-Arab Declaration.
I have spoken to my Russian colleague, who telegraphed his views to his
Government three days ago.
He was reassured on learning that Turkey was a party to declaration of 21st
October, which he thought was between us and Russia, as he said that Russian
rights could not be made dependent on declaration from us. But he maintained that
greater precision was necessary. It must be stated in article 7 that foreign consuls,
or dragomans, must be present on occasions when foreigners are brought up, and
in article 8 there must be provision for consular sanction in arrests (except perhaps
in cases of flagrante delicto) and for detention by consular authorities.
I pointed out that declaration amply safeguarded these rights, but he was,
rather insistent, saying that these were only his personal views and he was not
authorised to discuss them.
Perhaps some additional declaration might be suggested which would satisfy-
Russian Government if they do not accept it as it stands.
