My telegram Ho. 871- [of 8 th October: Anglo-Soviet
policy in Persia].
Soviet Ambassador told me on 13th October that his
Government were in full accord with our proposed text for the
Anglo-Soviet-Persian Treaty and had no suggestions or
amendments to make. Soviet Ambassador at Tehran had been so
informed.
2. There was, however, one point which His Excellency would
like to clear up with me. He understood that the reference in
Article 3 (ii) (b) and Article A to movements of our respective
forces and to the right of transit through Persia did not mean
that we should move our troops about without consultation with
each other, apart from any information we might give to the
Persian Government. I said that, of course, there v/ould be the
fullest consultation between us and I could assure him that we had
no intention of making any important changes in the
dispositions of our forces without consultation with the
Soviet Government. The Ambassador said that this was also
the position of his Government and that in order to put the
matter on record he v/ould write me a letter to which I could
reply.
