Please repeat to Kuibyshev No* 328.
Soviet Ambassador agreed that I should do v/Iiat I could to
bring Minister for Foreign Affairs to accept our text. Assisted
by the two Counsellors to His Majesty's Legation I have just had
long discussion with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I have
told him that unless by 5 Pom* November 8 th, I learn from him
that Persian Government have agreed to sign our text, v/ith the
hope, however, of securing concessions from the Allies on
points set forth below, I shall have to consider their entirely
unacceptable reply of November 6 th as their answer and to report
it to His Majesty’s Government as a refusal to signe Amendments
that I promised to ask you to consider are given below in
paragraphs 2 to 6 .
(2) Persian Government’s preamble for which see my
immediately following telegram refers to Atlantic Charter*
(3) In Article 1 it is propose to add "and several" after
"joint" and "sovereignty" after "integrity",
(A) Persian Government beg for reduction of period of
1 year which will sound eternity to the Persian publico They
asked for 3 months. Could it be reduced to 6 ?
(3) Article 6 . In clause (1) read "sovereignty" after
"integrity" and at the end of the clause read "v/hich'affects the
interests of Persia, to accept Persian Government as a member at
peace conference and at any international assemblies which may be
held and to enable the Persian Government to enjoy the rights
and privileges which may be assigned to all the Allies and their
associates M .(Please see my telegram No* 1083 * Persian Government
attach great importance to this ancTIt Is^troped that some soothing
formula can be found). In clause 2 Persian Government consider it
would spare their dignity if last paragraph could read "present
[grp. undec. ?treaty], and, if the need arises, it may not be
maintained etc. This would n ecessitate substit ution of "not"
for "nor" in earlier portion.
