IMEDIATE.
My telegram No. 833 [of 3rd October] last paragraph.
Persian request for assurance that Persia will be
represented‘at Peace Conference is probably based on assumption
that peace settlement will be reached at a full Conference on
lines 4 of Versailles.
It is, however, impossible to say what procedure may be
adopted, and it might be of little value to the Persians to tell
them that they will be represented at 11 The Peace Conference 1 ’.
. Vhat they really require, presumably, is assurance that
they will have a voice in settling matters which are of interest
to them.
I suggest therefore that reply should take the form of
quoting Article 6 , paragraph 1, of Treaty of Alliance, and
continuing:-
■’I have been authorised by my Government to give Your
Excellency an assurance that the provisions of this Article
would apply to peace negotiations after the war, and that His
Majesty’s Government are of the opinion that this treaty
provision ensures that Persia will be represented in any
negotiations directly affecting her interests. His Majesty's
Government will in any case.net attempt to settle such matters
without Persia's knowledge and consent."
•
Please make communication on these lines if your Soviet
colleague agrees.
