K)REIGE OFFICE, S*W.l.
29th April, 1929.
My dear Wakely,
The Secretary of estate wishes me to let you know
that he has considered the India Office official letter
No. P. 2890/ 29, of the 18th April about the Bus hire
Residency flagstaff, and is sorry that he does not
altogether agree in the course proposed therein. In his
view it would be a mistake to make up our minds now that
we are not going to remove the flagstaff before the end
of the negotiations.
You will remember that the position, revealed in
Clive 1 s despatch No. 89 of February 16th, is that this
flagstaff is outside the Residency grounds and on
Persian soil. It is therefore an eyesore to the Persians
with their present nationalist outlook, and the Minister
of Court has drawn Clive's attention to it, I believe,
more than once.
Incidentally,
I».D. Wakely, Esq. , C.B.
