► The Cabinet have given their final comments on draft treaty. ^
2. Ivly above-mentioned telegrams stand.
3. The Cabinet are afraid of the word 11 immunities” in the
last sentence of Article 4 (2) as it suggests capitulation. They
suggest exemptions and as the clause is superfluous this seems
satisfactory/'. Any other immunities that are required could be
secured without reference to them here.
4. The Cabinet_object to "direct” where it appears in
several places in Article 6 and the proposed letter tut offer to
limit scope of the article to the Middle East, e.g. article
itself would end * "affecting the interests of Persia in the
Middle East”. Unfcprtunately [grp. undec.: ?even] this* has a
wider meaning than it used to nave before Egypt ana

included in the Middle East Command. Nevertheless the acceptance
of this amendment seems an easy way of pleasing the Persian
Government. They attach the greatest importance however to
rights and privileges” sentence in paragraph 5 of my telegram
No, 1108. I believe they expect a share out of the spoil at
the end of the war and are afraid of being absent v/hen it occurs,
I have been unable to convince them that ”on a footing of
equality” secures to them the same rights and privileges. Would
P 0SS Tkl e to make the letter end ”in any peace negotiations
affecting her interests in the Middle East so that she may enjoy
the same rights and privileges as other powers participating in
those negotiations”?
The Cabinet have no further observations and I hope to induce
them to accept as final your replies to this telegram and to my
two telegrams under reference. I hope, however, that you will
be able to accept all the proposed formulae if they do not
prejudice our essential interests especially in Article 7.
