v ^ 0 Your telegram No. 423 [of the 11th July], ^
His Majesty's Government have given full consideration
to the view expressed by the Government of India in recent tele
grams to the effect that it would be undesirable for military
reasons to do anything to improve communications across
Iran at present. In general, they agree that there is much to
be said for this view, but it is considered nevertheless essential
to do what we can to organise the transport of supplies
across Iran to Soviet Russia, even if this means taking
definite steps to improve railv/ay facilities.
2. For your own information, urgent enquiries are being
made with a view to supplying at least twelve locomotives and
some rolling-stock for the Railway, These locomotives should
prove s ufficient to enable the carrying capacity of the railway
~to be increased by/abou-t- 100 tons a day. Much, of course, will
depend upon port facilities at Bandar Shahpur and Khoxx
3. Results of these enquiries will be telegraphed to
y 0U as soon as possible.
4. We would like, if at all possible, to have British^and
Soviet observers in Iran charged with the duty of facilitating
the speedy passage of supplies through Iranian ports and over
Iranian railways and roads. You should consider, in
consultation with your Soviet colleague, and report how this
y could best be effected; c.f. in this connexion my telegram No.
