PERSIA
(No. 131.) R. Foreign Office, June 12, 1915, 7’15 p.m.
SIR W. TOWNLEY S despatch. No. 137 of 11th May, 1914: Persian Mint
contract.
Imperial Bank of Persia are prepared to discuss in most conciliatory spirit
suggestions of Russian Bank, hut consider it essential that, before this is done, Imperial
Bank’s right to safeguard their note issue by importation of silver independently of
joint contract between Persian Government and the two banks shall have been
recognised in incontestable manner.
Imperial Bank see some difficulty in incorporating such recognition in the new
contract, and they suggest, therefore, that you should exchange with Persian Government
separate diplomatic notes on subject.
On their completion, Imperial Bank would proceed to discuss question of mint
contract with Russian Bank. After discussion, two banks in Tehran would hand to
you and your Russian colleague the draft contract for negotiating with Persian
Government.
Do you, after discussing it with your Russian colleague, see any objection to
proposed procedure ?
