The Persian Minister (Djalal) to the Under Secretary of State (Phillips)

My Dear Mr. Phillips: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of May 29, 1934, as well as your letter of June 4, 1934, and to say that I communicated by telegram the content of your first note explaining your Government’s point of view about the Convention of 1925 and your ultimate decision to change it by a more impartial and just Convention. I have also communicated the purport of your last note explaining that the reservation which my Government desires would not be possible under constitutional procedure and that the action most appropriate in the circumstances would, therefore, appear to be ratification of the Convention by this Government coupled with continued efforts at Geneva to secure its revision.

I avail myself [etc.]

G. Djalal
