2 of the Persian alternative draft reads as though
both High Contracting Parties had territories under their
protection and Mandate, and special treaty relations
with independent rulers - a pretence set up only to he
abandoned in the next paragraph. However, mere clumsiness
of drafting is of little importance so long as the meanin
of the Articleis- as it appears to be -free from doubt.
It is submitted that we may agree with the P.0, that the
Persian alternative draft articles and notes, as now
amended, may be regarded as acceptable if Sir K.Clive
is unable to persuade the Persian Government to accept
the British draft.

article in Annex 1 to his letter of 9th August to he
accompanied hy the draft notes in Annexes 2 and 3 (though
these belong properly to the draft article in the body |
of Feroughi’s letter). It does not seem to me at all

Feroughi’s intention. The draft article in the Annex
overlaps with the draft notes. But it is only acceptable
on condition that we also get the notes. We had better
mark the point in writing to the F.O.
It is to be hoped that it will be possible to
get the Persians to agree to the British draft. It is
particularly desirable that this article should be
precise and intelligible; it is hardly sufficient
in this case that the H.G.P’s themselves should know
what they meant; it ought to be clear to third parties
also; the Persian draft ¥/hich is now in question falls
