IMPORTANT.
I Your telegram No. 139 to Mini ster of State,
It is not quite correct to infer that the operation of*
Persian railway by the Americans invests American Commanding
General with responsibility for allotting tonnage to Persian
civil requirements. Commander-in-Chief P.M.I. is still
responsible for deciding priorities on the railway and essential
Persian civil needs continue as first priority.
2. The oil shortage has occurred not through failure
to allot priority but through the slower turn round of cistern
waggons on the railway, due to operational difficulties
experienced by the Americans on first talcing over railway
operations. This is being carefully watched by [? grp, omitted.
? them and] is improving. The improvement in the oil
situation loss however been delayed through interruptions
to military working caused by severe frosts, floods and
accidents.
3. Decision to increase oil reserve in Persia was taken
in December but was deferred owing to falling deliveries
to Russia and on very urgent representations by the Russians
that stores,essential to Russians offensive, should not be
delayed. The intention remains to build up a reserve
sufficent to cover possibilities of future railway
interruption and this will be done as soon as facilities permit.
