The Persian correspondent of the Times announced 'on Wednesday that

an identical British and Russian Note was presented to the Shah on Tuesday drawing his attention to the disturbances in the provinces, and especially to the danger to foreigners at Tabriz. The Note urgently recom- mends the Shah to redeem his promise and issue a proclamation for new elections, which it suggests should be held in the middle of November. This Note is in important outcome of the Anglo-Russian Agreement, and is likely to bring a real benefit to Persia. There have already been many justifications of the Agreement, but this is OH most conspicuous. Humanitarian objections fall to the ground when Russia joins Britain in a beneficent act which but for the Agreement would probably have been impossible.
