Below these papers will be found * C Qr'' ^ ^
(a) the text of Article 7 of the Anglo-bo vie t-^ ,A ^ w ^
Persian Treaty originally suggested by the
Foreign Office, and
(b) that suggested by the Persian Government.
The Persian draft was found unacceptable here,
and the addition at the top of page 2 of Foreign
Office telegram to Tehran No. 1021 was suggested
instead. Sir E. Bullard ! s comments will be found
in the side-lined passages in Tehran telegrams Nog.
1145 and 1149. The Foreign Office have now given
the Soviet Ambassador a revised draft of the Treaty,
and have suggested that his Government should
instruct the Soviet Minister at Tehran to join
with Sir. R. Bullard in informing 1he Persian
Government that we must require them to accept
this version. For the reasons given in paragraph^
3 of the Foreign Office telegram to Tehran No. 1042,
it has been decided to go no farther than the draft
of Article 7 put forward in Foreign Office telegram
No. 1021. Foreign Office -telegram No. 1042 has^
crossed the Government of India’s telegram.No. 6514,
which has thus arrived too late to be able to alter
His Majesty’s Government’s decision.
As I understand the position, the contention
of the Foreign Office and the Treasury is that the
Persian Government have plenty of sterling in hand,
arid that there is no question of tneir needing- a
z ^loan to tide them over until they receive the next
l((\\ instalment of A.I*0.C. royalties. The presence of
the British forces in Persia will; also lead to an
influx of sterling, inc.itttling payments for goods.and
services supplied in connection with the transport of
goods to Russia. On the other hand, Persia is
unable in the present circumstances to import very
much from the sterling areef*, so that the sterling
’ou acquired will remain in the country. The resulting
e/s*. situation, in which there will be a considerable
amount of exchange in Persia but few goods to spend
it on, may lead to inflation; and any loan or gift
from His Majesty’s Government would of course
/accentuate
