With reference to our official letter of May 8th,
enclooing for your concurrence or comments a draft
telegram to Clive at Tehran about arbitration in the
treaties under negotiation with Persia, we have been
asked whether or no we intend Clive to go ahead as
soon as he likes with the suggestion in paragraph 2
of our draft telegram regarding a special arbitration
provision for the Commercial Treaty.
We had intended to leave it to Clive's discretion
when to raise the point. We agree, however, that it
may be well to make this clear. This could perhaps
best be done by adding at the end of paragraph 2,
after the sentence ending - "my despatch No.414 of
"August 24th", the sentence "This proposal for an
"arbitration clause in the commercial treaty only
"may be put forward to the Persian Government now or
"whenever you think best”.
