31. {a) British Affairs. —The discussion of British interests with the Kh
has occupied a large place in the work of the Vice-Consulate during the year ^
It should be noted that in October, after some discussion, the decision
eventually arrived at in consultation between the Government of India and t^ S
Legation at Tehran that it was advisable that the charge of negotiations betwp ^
the Concessions (Oil) Syndicate and the Bakhtiari Khans should be placed in th 11
hands of His Britannic Majesty's Vice-Consul for Arabistan, who should corres 6
pond through the Consul General in whose district he might at the time be (v'
Bushire or Ispahan), copies of his despatches being sent to the other. *'
This decision was in due course approved by His Majesty's Secretary fo
Foreign Affairs. ' ' r
Circumstances also led to the discussion of all matters relating to the Ahwaz
Ispahan Road being conducted through the same medium.
32. The Oil Syndicate, —First in importance are to be placed the affairs of tie
Concessions (Oil) Syndicate Limited. It will be remembered that at the end of the
period kst reported on, we had had reason to take objection to the failure to make
adequate guarding arrangements and to pay up compensation for thefts etc
Neither of these objections had been removed, when the Vice-Consul met ^
Salar Arfa' at Chighakhor in July.

was in league with the
Foreign Minister, the Mushir ud Daulah, who in a personal interview suggested
several of the main objections raised against the existing Agreement.
Reference was made to the Syndicate by the Legation and in due course their
reply was received and submitted to the Khans who had now returned to their
homes.
None of the essential demands of the Khans were allowed, and in any case it
was declared unnecessary to cancel and redraft the agreement as required by them
33. In the latter half of October the Vice-Consul met the Samsam, Shahab
and Sarum um Mulk at Gishnagun, and again the

Matters were talked over in great detail, and the Khans' demands were finally
reduced to that for an extra annual payment of £500, in return for which a respon
sible chief was to be placed in the immediate charge of the Guards and Oil affairs.
A more precise definition was also required of the exact nature of losses etc
for which compensation would have to be paid.
Guards which had been refused for the second place at which the Syndicate
wished to work, were also after some hesitation supplied.
Subsequent enquiry and examination on the spot however revealed that the
provision of guards in practice was at both places a mere farce, and this was further
accentuated by a series of thefts, etc.
n the Khans then at Malamir met with little result beyond urgent
demands for the settlement of the payment of the additional £500 ; while the Khans
m the north lodged a demand for payment of all their dues in gold coin.
