My tel ograu L Noo 1455 [of November 3rd: ratification of
Anglo-Soviet-Persian Treaty of Alliance] f
Soviet Ambassador states that his Governments instrument
of ratification is to be^deposited at Tehran tomorrow,
December 10th. Your Soviet colleague will probably ask you to
be present at the exchange of ratifications and to sign a
proces-verbal recording that the instruments of ratification
have been exchanged. 'Otjuus/ <£0
2. You may sign a procks-verbal on the following
lines:-
"On the. day of the ratification
by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of the
Treaty of Alliance between His Majesty The King of
Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond
the Seas. Emperor of India, and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Renublics and His Imperial Majesty the
Shahinshah of Persia signed on the 29th January, 1942,
was deposited at the Persian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in the presence of the British Minister. No
instruments of ratification have been deposited on behalf
of His Majesty The King of Great Britain etc. or of
His Imperial Majesty The Shahinshah because the Full
Powers under which the Treaty was signed by the
plenipotentiaries of these two Powers did not require the
signature to be ratified and there was no provision in
the Treaty itself specifying that ratifications should be
deposited. The plenipotentiaries both of His Majesty
The King of Great Britain etc. and of His Imperial
Majesty the Shahinshah have ^been duly authorised to be
present at the formal deposit of the Soviet ratification
and to sign this procbs-verbal.
In witness whereof, the undersigned Representatives
of the High Contracting Parties have signed the present
Proces-Verbal.
Done at Tehran, the day of
1942"o
3. This formula has been suggested to Soviet Government,
but we do not yet know whether they will accept it. If your
Soviet colleague.will not accept it. you should suggest that
the deposit of his Government's ratification should be postponed
for a rev/ days. I am informing M. Maisky accordingly.
