PERSIAN REJECTION OF MOSCOW PROTEST

Teheran, Nov. 23.

The Persian Cabinet today discussed a draft reply

by the Premier, Ghavam Es Sultaneh, to the

Soviet protest note warning the Persian Gov- ernment of "grave · consequences” which might follow the rejection by the Persian Parliament of the agreement granting Northi Persian oil rights to Russia. It is understood in quarters close to the Premier that the Per- slan Government's reply refutes ·· five main points of the Soviet note. The five Soviet allegations and ↑ the Persian draft replies are un-

derstood to be as follows:

1. The Sovlot charge that the. the presentation of the oil agreo- meni to Parliament: There was no Parliament in existence then. but as soon na it was convened the oil agreement was Im- mediately considered.

3. The Soviet accusation of "blatant discrimination against the Soviet Union in view of the still existing British oll concen sion in South Persia," was re jeeled by the Perglan Govern ment.
