8 . The Shah has told the Minister for War and the Chief of Staff separately
that Stalin during a private audience had promised the Shah Russian support in
forming a large and strong Army in Persia. As evidence of goodwill Stalin was
presenting twenty aircraft and twenty tanks to the Shah and would send instruc

flying school at Kazvin or some other place in North Persia for the training of
Persian pilots. This will be claimed as a justification for their attitude by
