The Government s views are that if every individual, group or community
m c °untiy has any allegations to make, which are not of a rebellious nature,
against the Gentral Government and the Organic Law, then such legitimate
allegations will be examined and peace and tranquillity established in every
district. At the same time the Government is compelled to restore security in face
of such elements who may have recourse to certain measures against the prestige
and honour of the country, to take certain fundamental measures in order to
establish and maintain the power of the Central Government throughout the
country in the interests of public welfare.
The expec tations of the Imperial Government, while taking into view the
friendship and good relations existing between herself and her agreeable Allies,
particularly in view of the guarantees given in the proclamation issued by the
leaders of the three Powers in Tehran and signed by Roosevelt, Stalin and
Mr. Churchill, are that the Allied Powers, whose military forces are still in this
country, without having the right to interfere in the internal affairs of the country,
should express their views about the measures and action taken by the Central
legal (jovernment and inform the Imperial Government of the nature of any
recommendations which they may have to make for the restoration of security
in those Ustans. It is evident that they should also take into view the fact that
the Government, with a view to maintaining security and assuring peace and
tranquillity of the public, will have to utilise the security forces of the country
by sending a sufficient number of them as reinforcements to wherever this be found
necessary. The Imperial Government’s forces should enjoy freedom of action
inside the country in order to be able to stop the activities of the rebellious elements
and to restore security in the places involved. As they seem to intend to take
certain measures shortly in the Ustans 3 and 4 which would be against Organic
Law, it is desirable that they should bear in mind that the matter is of great
importance and urgency, and the Persian Government therefore request that the
relevant authorities of the friendly and Allied Governments may give immediate
instructions to quarters they deem expedient to extend the required assistance
and co-operation.
A copy of this memorandum has been sent to the Embassies of the U.S.S.R.
and the United States in Tehran. A copy has also been sent to the Embassy of
the Provisional French Government and a copy to the Chinese Embassy in Tehran.
