MOST IMMEDIATE
Treaty was discussed in Parliament yesterday December 21st
Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed me to-day that it must
now go to the Parliamentary Commission and back to Parliament
who will re-discuss December 28th.. Ministry of Foreign
Affairs added that at least ten days would elapse before
signature.
This further delay is intolerable and I propose to
protest to the Prime Minister in the strongest terms. If I
cannot get satisfaction from him I will see the Shall. His
Majesty s Minister before leaving tried in vain to get the
Minister for Foreign Affairs to hasten onorocedure but even then
we were left with the impression that it would be signed
before Xmas.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs also agreed with His
Majesty's Minister that the text would not be released before
the signature. Nevertheless the entire text was officially
communicated to the Persian press yesterday.
