SE CRET.
After I had discussed v/ith Soviet Ambassador on
August 13th various details regarding presentation by the
representatives of our two Governments at Tehran of the
memoranda about the Germans in Iran (Persia), I said
that it was essential that we should move in step in our
actions and asked whether I v/as right in assuming that (
Soviet Government would in no circumstances authorise
their troops to cross Iranian frontier excerat in
conformity with similar movement by our troops from the
south and after full agreement between the two
Governments. Mo Maisky said that this was certainly the
. position. After the presentation of the memoranda,
‘ Soviet Government would be ready to take military action,
but they would not take such action except in conjunction
with us.
