^ I have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter (No. 1014-
15/7 of 20th May) from Major Chauncy, formerly His Majesty 1 s
Consul at Khorramshahr, to my predecessor, recommending that
the Consular Shipping Office at Abadan Reach be wholly
controlled from Khorramshahr.
2. In effect, the only substantial change that is implied in
this proposal is that the Shipping Office accounts should go
through and be controlled, by the Consulate at Khorramshahr,
instead of through this Consulate-General as at present. In
almost all other matters the Shipping Office is, in the nature
of things, controlled by H.M.Consul at Khorramshahr, who has
the advantage of being within a short distance, and the
greater one of having precisely similar question to deal with
himself. An argument used in the past in favour of peeping
the Shipping Office under the control of Ahwaz was that the
Consul or Vice-Consul at Khorramshahr, being, an Indian
Political Of*ficer, v/ould not have any knowledge of shipping
matters, which should therefore be referred to the Consul,
normally a member of the Consular Service, at Ahwaz. Now,
however, there is no Consular Official at Ahwaz with any
experience of shipping, and the argument ceases to be valid.
3. With regard to the Shipping Office accounts, I consider
that these could much better be kept by H.M.Consul at
Khorramshahr. The many queries which inevitably arise over
accounts have now to be settled either by letter or over the
long distance telephone, with considerable waste of time,
whereas under the direct control of Khorramshah they would
not arise at all. Previously, I understand, such accounts
of the Vice-Consulate at Khorramshahr used also to come
through this office: now, however, Khorramshahr submits
accounts direct to the Foreign Office, and the Shipping
Office accounts could easily be included in these. An
