a copy of despatch to the Chief Commissioner, Aden, No. 552/79/3, dated the 25th
March 1935, and enclosure regarding Exportation of tombac.
Enclosure 1 to Serial No. (32).
Letter from His Majesty’s Minister, Jedda, to the Resident, Aden, No.
552/79/3, DATED THE 25th March 1936.
I have the honour to enclose herewith a copy of a letter addressed to me by
the Iranian Minister here regarding the abrogation of the monopoly of the exporta
tion of Isfahan tombac, formerly granted to a certain Khalil Matouk. My Iranian
colleague requests that the information contained in the letter should be brought
to your notice and to that of interested merchants in Aden.
2 . The Iranian Minister handed me the letter in question himself, after sounding
me some days earlier as to whether I could forward it. It would doubtless have
been more regular for tiie Iranian Government to communicate with His Majesty’s
Government in the first instance, through more normal diplomatic channels, but
as this procedure would in the circumstances be cumbrous, I undertook to
forward his letter to you, subject to the express reservation that I was merely
complying with the request of a colleague and that it would rest entirely with you
to decide what course of action you should follow on receipt of the intimation
contained in the letter.
3. I am sending copies of this desptch and enclosure to His Majesty’s Prin
cipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and to His Majesty’s Minister at Tehran.
Enclosure 2 to Serial No. (32).
Letter from the Iranian Minister at Jedda to His Majesty’s Minister,
Jedda, No. 85, dated the 24th March 1936.

cordee a M. Khalil Matouk, a ete annulee a Tehran en date du 17 Ordibihechte
1314 (8 mai 1935). Par consequant Texportation et le commerce de cette qualite

1936.
Letter from His Majesty s Minister, Jedda, to the Foreign Office, No.
90-E. (575/416/2), dated the 28th March 1936.
With reference to my despatch No. 71 of March 11th [Enclosure to Serial No.
(24)], I have the honour to submit to your notice a point of some little interest,"
which has been raised m connexion with the visit to Jedda of the salvage tu <jr
Preserver, which refloated the s. s. “ Kawsar ”.
2. The Preserver entered the port of Jedda on her first arrival here and then
proceeded to the Irk-al-Ghorab reef, where the '‘Kawsar” was aground. After
effecting the salvage she entered the port a second time. On this second entry the
local authorities did not ask for payment of the usual tonnage dues a second time
but insisted that, under the regulations in force, the fixed dues of one pound gold
for entry and two pounds gold for permission to employ a pilot must be paid aga n.
Mr. Griffin, a member of the firm which represents the owners of the Preserver
drew ray attention to the difference in the practice followed in regard to the tonnage
