.
Sir, . ^ t Foreign Office, March 25, 1913.
I AM directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 14th instant regarding the proposed financial advances to the Persian
Government.
With regard to the Marquess of Crewe’s suggestion that a further sum of 10,000L
should be earmarked out of the Anglo-Indian share of the advance of 400,000L for the
restoration of order and for general administrative purposes in the province of Kerman,
Sir E. Grey is of opinion that the negotiations are now too far advanced to render it
desirable to revise the conditions of the advance, and does not therefore propose to
send any instructions to His Majesty’s Minister at Tehran regarding the province of
Kerman.
With reference to the proposal contained in the last paragraph of your letter under
reply, I am to state that Sir E. Grey concurs in his Lordship’s view that the repay
ments of capital on account of the sum of 140,000?. advanced in 1912 had better be
postponed until the 21st March, 1915.
I am, Ac.
LOUIS MALLET.
