At last all the puzzles had been solved. The difficulties of the American Constitution, Roosevelt’s health, and Stalin’s obduracy, the complications of a journey to Basra and the Trans-Persian railway, were all swept away by the inexorable need of a triple meeting, and the failure of every other alternative but a flight to Teheran.
