Your telegram No. 114,
In the first place it seems to me necessary to feel
assured that action proposed in your telegram has the consent
of Iraqi Government. I assume this to he the case and I
conclude that you have discussed the position with Nuri. But
present attitude of Iraqi Government as known to me and to
ny Iraqi colleague is as stated in Sir A, Clark Kerr’s tele-
Ltota ho, 120 t o you and unless their intention to insist on
legal decision has been modified I feel it would he diffi
cult for me to propose any other line of action to Persian
Government.
2 0 Secondly I should be reluctant to sidetrack Kazemi
in any obvious manner as it may he my fate to deal with him
as Minister for Foreign Affairs for an indeterminate period.
But I think this could he avoided as any action taken here
W0U 1G Ye in response to his own appeals and with clear pur
pose of helping him out of his difficulties.
Thirdly I agree with views in paragraph 2 of your
^iegram that it would he very difficult to approach the Shah

sBible and 1 obtained no response to my suggestion that

About this item
- Content
This volume is a continuation of Collection 17/5, and contains papers regarding negotiations between Persia [Iran] and Iraq at the League of Nations in 1935, mediated by Italian delegate Baron Pompeo Aloisi. The papers primarily consist of communications regarding the negotiations submitted to the Foreign Office by HM Ambassadors at Rome, Teheran and Baghdad, as well as comments by the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. Political Department, the Admiralty, and representatives of the Governments of Persia, Iraq, and Italy.
The negotiations concerned the frontier line along the Shatt el-Arab, the possibility of granting a Persian anchorage at Abadan [Ābādān], the rights of Persian and British warships to traverse and refuel on the river, and the proposed establishment of a Conservancy Board. Following negotiations in Geneva, Rome and Tehran, the Persian and Iraqi Governments had practically agreed on three instruments: a pact of non-aggression, to be signed by Iraq, Persia and Turkey; a treaty for the peaceful settlement of international disputes between Persia and Iraq; and a treaty of friendship, which would settle the frontier question and establish the Conservancy Board.
In addition to the correspondence, the volume contains: documents circulated by the Council of the League of Nations; Reports on the Sessions of the Council submitted to the Foreign Office by C J Edmonds, Second Adviser to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs; multiple drafts of the treaty of friendship and non-aggression treaties; and copies of notes exchanged by the Iraqi and Persian Ministers at the League of Nations. A number of these documents are written in French.
The volume includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the volume by year. This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio 1).
