Your tologram No. 354. p - o* /I .
ProcGS-vcrbal v/as drafted and produced at the
last moment by the Persians who included reference to
ratification because Soviet Full Powers expressly
stated that treaty required ratification "according
to procedure [? required] by laws of the U.S.S.R.",
and because my Full Powers mentioned "ratification if
necessary". I pointed out that as far as we were
concerned there would be no ratification and that the
treaty was in force in any case, but for the above
reasons the Persian representative pressed for
retention of their text and it was signed in
triplicate by the signatories of the treaty.
2. It was thus clearly understood by all v
concerned at the time of signature that the proces-
verbal did not affect article 9 of the treaty.
In view of your telegram I agree that wording needs
alteration and I should be grateful for instructions
as to whether I should suggest^its cancellation to the
Persian Government -and the Soviet Ambassador on the
grounds mentioned in paragraph 1 of your telegram
under reference. Alternatively I suggest that I may
be furnished with an amended text ^c^ : ^pju:qyal by the
two authorities.
