Dear Baxter
7e have been considering h6re the draft cable to
Teheran which Young sent to you with his letter No, 3»491U7 of.
/ e are not at all happy about (a) of i^aragraph 3. As we
t°la~ the ireasury in the case of the IraQi roads, any contro—
bution from Persia would normally be related to all road, etc.,
improvements in Persia. It will probably be rather difficult
to negotiate this particular point with the Americans. In
view oi the delicacy oi the subject we hope that you will
agree that this point should be omitted from the present
telegram; ^you may agree that it will suffice to Aeep Teheran
inlornkjd of what happens when the point arises between our
selves and the Americans. Alternatively you might inform
Bullard that this question is regarded as being between H.M.G.
and the U.S. Government and that it should not be raised in
discussions with the Persians but that if the Persians raise
the question he should refer back to London.
Otherwise we agree with the draft telegram.
I am sending copy of this letter to Young (Treasury),
Courtney ^Air Ministry), x^eel (
