Section 4.
No. 1 .
Sir R. Hoare to Sir John Simon.—(Received November 5.)
(No. 469. E.)
Sir, Tehran, October 20, 1934.
I HAVE the honour to transmit herewith a copy of a notice published in
the Messager de Teheran of the 11 th October by the Department of Industry and
Agriculture, according to which the establishment of new factories in Persia is
henceforth to be conditional on the prior obtaining of licences from that
Department.
2 . As most of the new industries which are springing up in Persia are
State-owned, the present announcement is no doubt largely inspired by the desire
to avoid excessive competition from private interests with those owned by the
State or by His Majesty the Shah. In cases where no such competition is likely
to arise in the near future, the necessary permission will probably be issued as a
matter of course by the Department of Industry. A tightening-up of the Govern
ment’s efforts towards the control and direction of industry as well as commerce
is, nevertheless, implicit in this new announcement.
3. I am sending copies of this despatch to the Department of Overseas
Trade (No. O.T. (B) 174), to the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India,
and to His Majesty’s Charge d’Affaires at Bagdad (No. 79).
I have, &c.
R. H. HOARE.
Enclosure in No. 1 .
Extract from the Messager de Teheran of October 11, 1934.
A v is.
COMME il a ete constate, les commerQants et les societes commerciales
precedent a la fondation des fabriques sans avoir fait, au prealable, les etudes
necessaires en ce qui concerne la situation locale et les consequences nefastes d’une
competition a laquelle ils sont exposes vis-a-vis des autres concurrents..
II est evident que, par cette rivalite mal a propos, ils se creent des prejudices
tout en mettant au rebut les produits identiques fabriques par les autres.
Or, le Departement imperial pour 1’Industrie et 1’Agriculture se referant
a la loi du 11 Mehr Mah 1310, selon laquelle il dependra du Gouvernement
imperial d’indiquer les localites pour 1 ’installation des fabriques, porte a la
connaissance du public ce qui suit:
Avant de commencer 1’achat et la fondation des fabriques, les interesses sont
tenus de demander, par ecrit, I’autorisation du Departement imperial pour
1 ’Industrie et 1 ’Agriculture, en lui soumettant leur but, con tenant tous les details
necessaires ainsi que 1 ’indication de la locality choisie.
Departement imperial pour l’Industrie
ET L’AGRICULTURE.
About this item
- Content
Correspondence relating to changes within the Persian Government: the appointment and dismissal of ministers by the Shah of Persia (Reza Shah Pahlavi); the resignation or death during duty of ministers; the reorganisation of governmental departments (both central and provincial) at the instigation of the Shah.
Items of note in the file include:

The text is undated and with no indication of author, but is presumably a translation from the French or Persian and dates to around 1935, being part of the Shah’s programme of modernisation of Persian society (ff 102-103).
- A translation of regulations relating to the reorganisation of the Persian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ff 80-89).
The correspondence is chiefly sent by various officials at the British Legation in Tehran (Robert Henry Clive, Reginald Hervey Hoare, Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen, Victor Alexander Louis Mallet, Nevile Montagu Butler, Horace James Seymour). A small number of items in the file are in French.
