I agree that most of the proposed amendments are
acceptable. There appear to be four main difficulties.
(a) Article 3(i). I think Persian Government’s
wishes could best be met by amendment to ^ a( 3- : _ "The
Allied Powers jointly undertake to protecTPersia by all
means at their command from all aggression on the part of
Germany or any other Power”. I should, however, oe
prepared to agree to an alternative using the same wording,
but stopping short at :, aggression : '. I should prefer
former alternative, ^hnt jy-ould accept former-'a-l-t-ernativej
but would accept the latter if necessary.
(b) Financial questions. Articles 4 and 7. I
would agree to new paragraph 2 in Article 4 if amended to
read as follows.
’’A separate Agreement or Agreements shall be
concluded as soon as possible after the entry into force
of the present Treaty regarding any financial obligations
to be borne by the Allied Powers under the provisions of
the present Article and of paragraph 2(b), (c), and (d)
fof Article 3 above, and any financial < adjustments^necessary
in such matters as local purchases, hire of buildings and
plant, employment of labour, transport charges, and any
transfers to the Persian Government after the war of
buildings and other improvements effected by the Allied .
Powers. 'fhese agreements shall also settle the immunities
