wi do not believe that the arrangements whioh we make with iwraia will
have any affect on the arrangoaenta to be made at the end of the war
between us and the baited staiea as regards installations whioh tn y
have erected in this country. « think, therefox^e, that we should ala
at leaking with ieraia arrangianonts ahich are reasonable and businesslike
on their own merits; and the proposals made in jaxegraph 6 (ii, of
whittle* s letter seeca at fix‘st sight appropriate, if (as hit tie is

during the war on the lines considered in his paragraph 6(i).

the negation at Tehran an opportunity to consider the possibility, if
any, of getting them.

V/« have assumed that the right order is to seek to settle first with

open negotiations with the lersians until we are in agreement with both
