A separate submission has been made on the
recent progress of the Persian negotiations, together witl
a draft memorandum, setting out the present attitude of
His Majesty’s Government, which it is proposed, subject t<
the Secretary of State’s concurrence, to instruct Sir
Robert Clive to submit to the Persian Government. If it
proves impossible to persuade the Persians tc abandon the
exaggerated claims put forward in the correspondence
enclosed in Sir R. Clive’s despatch, No. 395 of 12th
August, now submitted, the negotiations may break down.
But the Foreign Office, despite this risk, intimate demi-
officially that they think it desirable to start at once
to examine the Persian counter-proposals, so that
instructions can be given to the Minister without delay
if the effect of our Memorandum is to persuade the
Persians to adopt a more reasonable attitude.
2. As the result of demi-official discussion with
the Foreigi Office, it has been agreed that the initiativ(
shall be taken by this Office as regards the Persian
counter “-proposals on Articles 1, 6 aid 7 of the draft
General Treaty. Article 3 (warships) is already under
consideration, on the basis of proposals by the Foreign
Office, while the Foreign Office are prepared to deal in
the first instance with the remaining articles. The
following comments are offered:-
3. Article 1 . (Non-Aggression, and position of
Rulers of the Arab Principalities of the
Persian Gulf

proposal which Sir Robert Clive was authorised to put to
the Persian Minister is item L in that correspondence.
