Your telegram No. 3972 [of 27th August: Persian Minister's
complaints to United States Government at Anglo-Soviet action in
Persia],
Please express to the Secretary of State my appreciation of
his very helpful remarks to the Persian Minister and the Turkish
Ambassador.
2. As regards his suggestion that His Majesty’s Government
and the Soviet Government should issue a declaration emphasising
the temporary nature of the measures they have taken and their
determination to restore full sovereignty and independence to
Persia after the war, you should tell Mr. Hull that my speech at
Coventry this afternoon contained a statement which will, I hope,
remove any fears which may have arisen as to the intentions of
the Soviet Government and ourselves. Text of relevant passage is
in my immediately following telegram.
