From—His Britannic Majesty’s Minister, Tehran,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Delhi.
My telegram No. 503. My Russian colleague and I saw Prime Minister
tc»day. He says that until Thursday Persian conditions will not be ready. I
do not doubt his good faith for he is making great efforts to bring round
public opinion to accept ? alliance with the two Powers. In general terms he
confirmed account of conditions given in my telegram above-mentioned but
said that territorial question would be dealt with in an annex. This probably
means that Persia will be satisfied for the present with our assent in principle
to their possession of holy places leaving the question of area and local adminis
tration to be settled later on.
