them to accept this version which goes .so far to meet
their own suggestions.:
, ’ 2. You will see that the revised draft .meets Persian
wishes on several points: .; :
(a) the minor amendments suggested in your
^ telegrams Nos. 1144 and 1145 are accepted;
(b) in Article 5 we accept the proposal in your.
0 ^(,q te legrai No. 1145 and agree to withdraw our troops not later
l * thin six months after the conclusion of an armistice or on the
conclusion of peace.
(c) we have accepted the Persian Government's
views as regards Article 9, and have reverted to the original
wording. But we expect the Persian Government to exercise
sufficient pressure on the Madis to ensure that they accept
the Treaty, We realise that'the members are jealous of their
new-found liberty, but they must surely he susceptible to hints
of undesirable consequences to their country if Ihey reject
the Treaty.
3. I regret however that as regards financial and economic
assistance I cannot agree to go further than the present draft
of Article 7 0 It would be better to have no Treaty at all
than to commit ourselves to vague obligations'which we should
be unable to honour and which would give the Persians a heaven
sent opportunity for pressing all sorts of financial and
economic demands upon us and making trouble whenever we could
not give them exactly what they wanted. Moreover, there is
nothing to show that the Persians need foreign exchange. You
