Your telegram No.1009 [of 17th October: Treaty
of Alliance].
It seems best to amend Article 3 (i) to avoid risk
of ambiguity. If your Soviet colleague agrees, you
should propose following revised text to Persian Govem—
ment: -
'’'The Allied Powers jointly undertake to protect
Pereihby all means at their command from all aggression
on the part of Germany and all other powers (herein
after referred to as the associates of Germany) which
have engaged or may in the future engage in hostilities
against either of the Allied Powers".
2. As you know, I am anxious that the Treaty
should be signed as soon as possible. Persian Govern
ment have now had three weeks.in which to study the
draft and I trust that they will now accept it without
further delay.
