Motor Lorry for Sistan Consulate,
Sir,
I have the honour to invite a reference to para 3 of
Mr,B*J,Gould*s despatch No.257, dated 30th August 1924 to the
Government of India, in which he requested that two motor cars
should he provided for this Consulate at a cost to Government
of Rs,11,000 for purchase and Rs*6,000 per annum for
maintenance,
2. In their memorandum No.273-3, dated 11th September 1925
the Government of India informed Major Fisher that they were
unwilling to incur so heavy an expenditure on motor cars as
that recommended by his predecessor, and the matter was
dropped. Most of the conditions described by Mr.Gould,
however, continue to exist, while a new factor has lately
arisen which renders it even more necessary than in Mr.Gould’s
time that His Britannic Majesty’s Consul, Sistan should be
provided with adequate motor transport. I refer to the
establishment of a Soviet Consul and Vice Consul in oistan,
and of a Vice Consul in Birjand. In this connection I would
attention to my telegram No.363, dated 27th December
1927 para.(2) and to my express letter No.28, dated 26th
January 1928 para.3(2) in which I emphasized the importance
of mobility on the part of Consular officers in East Persia
as one of the means whereby the increase in Russian activity
and the probable spread of propaganda can best be counteracted
