On 5th December, the British and Soviet representatives presented to the Persian Government the final draft of the Treaty. If the Persian Government accept this draft, the Treaty will be signed immediately. The Persian Government have co-operated fully in the development of communications for supplies to the Soviet Union, and their cooperation is confirmed in the draft treaty. All telegraphic, including wireless, correspondence between Teheran and Berlin has been stopped, and there is no means of telephonic communication between Persia and Europe. As regards Press telegrams from Teheran to the United States, I understand that one such telegram was recently refused by the Persian authorities for reasons which are not altogether clear, but I am not aware that difficulties have arisen in other cases.
