THE IMPERIAL BANK OP PERSIA,

LONDON,
EX.
7th July, 1915.
Sir
No. 81575/15 .
Your letter of the 28th ultimo has heeru carefully
considered hy the Board of Directors of the Bank, and we
venture to submit a draft of the reply we propose to send
to the Banque d’Escompte de Perse at Petrograd in answer
to their letter (undated) w r hich was received by us through
the Russian Embassy in London on the 10th April last.
In sending this draft letter for your perusal, we
would desire to mention that we have tried to act in an
accommodating spirit towards the Russian Bank on the
question of the joint Mint Contract, at the same time
maintaining the necessity of our importing silver for the
protection of our Note Issue, a necessity which, after
explanation, was recognised by the Delegates of the
Russian Bank when in London.
The necessity for the recognition of that right by
the Persian Government, as you inform us, is in the
opinion of His Majesty's Minister in Teheran not vital,
as he feels convinced that in practice no serious attempt
will ever be made by the Persian Government to prevent us
from importing silver, and if such an attempt were made,
the
The Under-Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
