manages to pay Ita way, with a modest surplus for
Mr. George, whl^h is likely to be considerably
reduced next year owing to the necessity of replenishing
stocks of paper and other material. Present
subscriptions cannot be raised; and as the Vrench and
Oerrrmn r ©gatlona and the Russian Kmbaasy supply
their wireless news to the local press gratis, no
charge can be made to the local press for the British
nows. (The income from this source would, in any
case, not exceed some three po mda monthly).
In these circumstances, there are no funds out of
whleh to pay th® fifteen pound# monthly subscription
now demanded by Reuters. And the same would be
true even if they were willing to reduce the charge
pro rata in consideration of the fact that only a
part of their news is picked up.
2. There is in Persia no law of copyright;
and, ao far &• I am aware, the Courts could not
intervene to prevent the publication of Reuters news
in this country. That being so, Reuters would, I
suppose, be powerless to enforce the payment of the
subscription demanded. If, however, you do not
wish rne to take advantage of this circumstance, it
will be necessary to cease distributing Reuter 1 ® news
to other recipients than members of His Majesty’s
rogation and His Majesty’s Consular Officers.
I consider that this would be a pity, since, though
Reuters does in part duplicate the British Official
news, it also provides items not included in the latter,
and British proaganda will suffer to that extent in Persia.
Before, therefore, I give directions to limit the
distribution of Reuters in this way, I will await your
