Bear Baxter, f *
I have to thank you for your letter of
the 29th ultimo and the trouble which has been taken to
give us such a clear explanation of the various points
which we submitted to Mr, Baggallay for his advice.
As time pressed and communications to
Tehran at this time of year are sometimes apt to be uncertain
we had been compelled to despatch, prior to the receipt of
your letter, the map defining the boundary of our Iranian
Conceosion as from the 1st January 1939, but after a careful
examination of your letter we are quite satisfied that no
alteration in the wording of the document which accompanied
the map is necessary, as although we do use the expression
"territorial waters 11 , on one occasion only, it is qualified
by the words "as defined by Iranian law" and is also fixed
by geographical points, the coordinates of which are specified
v* i*t7
In clause (iii) para* 5 of your letter you
advise that once the maritime area has been defined and
accepted by the Iranian Government, we should take immediate
steps to establish effective occupation as far as is
reasonably practicable of those parts which are outside the
3-mile limit# We are not, of course, in a position to do so
until/
