Sir,
I am directed by Mr.Secretaiy Hendereon to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter Ho.P.2306/30 of April 11 th, relative
to the non-aggreesion article of the draft General Treaty with
Persia.
2 . The Secretary of State agrees with the view expressed
in paragraph 5 of your letter that the draft in its latest form
is not satisfactory. Hot only does it involve an undertaking
by Hie Britannic Majesty to respect the territorial integrity i.
of the Sheikhs of Koweit and Bahrein, etc., hut it even con
templates that the Shah of Persia shall undertake an engagement
in the name of those rulers. Mr.Henderson is not satisfied
that these object ions would he adequately met, or that the meaning
of the article would he rendered sufficiently clear, hy the
verbal alterations suggested in your letter, and he fears that
the only satisfactory course will he to endeavour to re-draft
substantially the relevant parts of the article.
3* I am accordingly to suggest, for Mr.Secretary Benn’s
consideration, that Sir R.Clive he instructed to propose to
the Persian Minister of Court the following revised draft
M There shall he perpetual peace and sincere friendship
'‘between the High Contracting Parties and between their
"respective successors.
"Each of the High Contracting Parties, in view of the
obligations incumbent on them under the Covenant of the
league of Nations, and in view of the Multilateral Treaty
