The Secretary of State to the Minister in Iran (Dreyfus)
57. Minister of Iran76 inquired on January 26 concerning conditions for adherence to United Nations Declaration of January 1, 1942. He was answered informally to the effect that a nation did not become eligible to adhere merely by severance of relations with Axis powers; [Page 429] that a nation would have to be at war in order to “make a separate armistice or peace with the enemies”; that a nation became eligible to adhere if “at war” with one or more of Axis powers; that there appeared to be no difference between obligations of adherents and original signatories.
