Sir,
With reference to Memorandum from His Britannic
Majesty’s Consul, Seistan and Kain, No.118-20/6-A, dated 9th
March 1933, (copy forwarded with Foreign Secretary’s letter
No.48M, dated 30th March 1933), I am directed to request that,
provided there is no objection. His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran,
may be asked kindly to make the necessary enquiries from the
Persian Government and the Afghan Embassy, respectively, in
regard to alternatives (a) and (b) in paragraph 3 of Major
Daly’s Memorandum.
2. As regards alternative (c) the Government of India
are of opinion that the introduction into the present case of
the proposals for the sale or exchange of the Meshed Consulate
General will probably only complicate matters and further
delay the disposal of the Consulate land at Zabul. Should,
however, His Majesty’s Minister see any advantage in combining
the two cases in the manner suggested in Major Daly’s
proposal (c)(2), the Government of India would have no
objection to his doing so on the terms laid down in their
telegram to His Majesty’s Secretary of State for India No.2055
S, dated 11th October 1928.
3. In any case, however, the Government of India
desire to send Messrs.Mahomed Ali Brothers three months’ notic«
