Contracting Parties cease to be a member of mie League
of Nations, assured him that the engagements embodied
in Article 1 of the draft Treaty would remain in force.
'Phe position is examined m the draft instructions to Sir
Pobert Clive, and in Hr. Beckett's note.
No doubt, as Hr. Beckett says, the probability
that the Kellogg Pact and the League of Nations will drop
out of the picture in any near future is small. But it
%
would be contrary to all the lessons of history to imaging
that they are likely to operate perpetually, and it seems
regrettable, in these circumstances, that we should go
farther than we are bound to in guaranteeing the territorial
integrity and political independence of Persia. It is
conceivable that this view may be strongly pressed by the
Admiralty, who are particularly reluctant to agree to any
engagement which will permanently fetter their liberty to
intervene should oil interests make this desirable.
I do not think that m the past we have really intended t^
do more than produce a formula which committed us
substantially to the engagements to which we are already
committed,,,, Rad. the Kellogg Pact and the Covenant of the
League of Nations. But, as Hr. Beckett says in the last
paragraph of his minute, while it is of course open to us
to take this line with the Persians, the value of the non-
Cf- /o
aggression provision will largely disappear! and as the
risk of the disappearance m the near future of the
he Hogg Pact and the League is not presumably great, and
as their disappearance would in any event be accompanied
by a general reshuffle in which treaties such as the
present would be likely to be affected, we may perhaps
t
accept the view set out m the draft instructions to Sir
Robert '"live, but without any enthusiasm.
I suggest a draft letter to the Foreign Office.
