12/9
Chief Political Office,
Basrah,27th December 16,
Sir Percy has received your letter of 14th December
asking for information regarding the treatment of British
claims against the Turks for goods seized prior to the
British occupation and I am desired to send you the following
explanation,which you may show to Kirkpatrick:-
His claim was received on January 8th 1915 and
forwarded to Government on April 14th,1915.It has been
\\
registered afe the "Foreign Claims Office ,, in London for
such action as it may be possible to take at the end of the
\V
war (despatch from secretary of State for India to Viceroy
July 30th).
The claims registered against the Turks in this
category come to about a quarter of a million pounds in all,
I suppose,but it is quite understood by every one here that
they are claims against the Turks,not against the British
Government and I have newer received a single enquiry or
reminder verbal or otherwise on the subject since they were
made.
As regards the claims of natives being settled,no -
claims against the Turks by natives have been registered here
much less paid.
Claims against the British Governmen t by whoever
presented are investigated by this office and paid in the
usual way and as far as I know there are no complaints on
this score,
Persia being a friendly Government we can sometimes
obtain compensation for British Subjects from that Government,
