My telegrams referred in your telegram No. 477 of 4tb December were based on
assurances given by Persian Government. The 4,000L was duly remitted to
Constantinople and was doubtless absorbed to meet arrears of pay. Persian Embassy
there had long been crying misery, and it is perhaps not generally recognised that
actual salary forms but a small part of a Persian official’s revenue at a post like
Constantinople, where opportunities of squeeze are many. Doubtless little, if any, of
the 4,000Z. went to meet the expenses of the Commis i in.
I have arranged with M. Mornard that he will find to-day funds immediately
necessary for the requirements of the Commission. Ministry for Foreign Affairs is
trying hard to get control of the money for the Commission, but I am of opinion that'
best way would be for Persian share of 10,000C, if advanced, to be placed in the
hands of M. Mornard, who should attach paymaster from Mohammerah to Persian
Commission.
