Your telegram No. 942.
I know how desirable it is to get the Treaty signed
quickly,' if possible, but you will have seen from my
tele gram No. 1050 that th ere are difficulties. I gather
fTom the Minister ror Foreign Affairs that some of his
colleagues are asking what Persia would get in exchange
for joining [? against] Germany. I found the change of
status, which I urged the alliance would bring about,
did not impress the Prime Minister, who considers the
Russians would continue to be unreasonable. The attitude
of Turkey has great influence here, where there is a
tendency to believe that if Persia joined Russia Turkey
would draw nearer to the Axis. I do not say that these
difficulties are insurmountable, but they are very great.
2. The Soviet Ambassador and I informed the Minister
for Foreign Affairs [ grp. undec. ] and I repeated verbally
to the Prime Minister, that there are several matters
which cannot wait if ihe conclusion of the Treaty is
delayed, e.g.
(a) establishment of British, Russian and
Persian censorship,
(b) closing of the French legation,
(c) reception of official representative of the
Czechoslovak Government,
