Your telegram No. 1805 reached me just in time to
enable my Soviet colleague and myself to suspend action,
though we had asked for interviews.
2. His instructions had arrived, and we had discussed
the communications to be made. He has received for
communication to the Turkish G-overnment, a summary of the
memorandum to be handed by the Soviet Ambassador to the
Iranian (Persian) Government. On general lines it corresponds
closely with our memorandum, but there are obvious, though
unimportant differences, due no doubt to the fact that the
same circumstances are not applicable to both Governments.
3. He has however no instructions to give direct
assurance_ to the Turkish authorities on the lines of your
telegram No. 1781, first paragraph.
4. This raises two points; (a) that assurance to be
given by che Soviet Government to the Iranian Government
should correspond as closely as possible with text of
second paragraph of your telegram No. 1781. Otherwise,
if the Turkish Government can^discover any difference which
suggests to them that the Soviet assurance does not go
so far as our own, it will arouse suspicions.
(b) that either my Soviet colleague should receive
instructions on the same lines as the first paragraph of
your telegram No. 1781 to (sic) give assurance direct to
Turkish Government as well as informing them of assurance
given to the Iranian Government.
5. As regards (a), v/ording of Soviet assurance is
contained in my immediately following telegram. Inclusion ^
of the words '’which Iran is pursuing at present O’actuelle-
ment 1 ’)'’ in Soviet cpmmunication and not m ours may be
noticed by the Turkish Government, and misinterpreted as a
limitation, however unreasonably. It would be better
if we could adopt the same text, or at all events, if he
could drop the word ’’actucllemont".
