after the Treaty < has entered into force. One of the annexes
states that it is understood that there is no provision in the
Treaty which requires that the Persian Government shall bear
the cost of any works which the Allied Powers carry out for
their own military ends and which are not necessary for the
needs of Persia*'* 7 This explanatory clause was added at the
Persian Government’s request to enable them to reassure the
Majlis on a point which had been raised during the first
reading® The effect is to place it on record that the point

doubt come up for discussion during the subsequent negotiations
When the time for these negotiations come we shall naturally
consult the United States Government on any point where United
States interests are concernedo
