Sir Robert Clive*, in his despetch No. 396 of August 12th p 1950
exi^rossed his suploion of some ulterior motive on their pert*
such ea o dosire to secure the abrogation of some agreement
which they themselves hrd not hitherto mentioned.
| 6, The Trent iee. Conventions end Agreements to be
abrogated by the proposed article now under consideration are
ti e istee Treaty of 1357, the Slavery Convention of 188S f the
Commercial convention of 15 03 f and the furtlser Cominer*cial
greement of 19^0 0 As pointed out in paragraph 6 of my
predecessor's despatch No. 476 of the 18th neptember 1930, eny
objection ;?luch the rersian government ney have to mentioning
the un-ratifled agreement of 19S0 can readily be met by an
offer to allude to it aa a subsequent modification of the 1903
Commercial Convention.
v. As regards the Anglo^reraian comnercial Treaty of the
^8th October, 1841, the attitude of Hie Majesty's Government
was fully set forth in Mr. Henderson's above-mentioned despatch
of the mh September, 1930, r rom which you will oee that
fir Robert Olivo was given discretion to draw the attention
of lao ersisn Government, if he considered it desirable, to
the f*ct that this treaty had never been formally abrogated,
s explained in that despatch, the present validity of the
1841 treaty is open to serious doubt, end T entirely share the
view expressed by you in paragraph 6 of your despatch that
J. v would in practice be useless to rely upon this treaty in
tny attempt to maintain the Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. et Ruehire
against the express wishes of the Persian Government. The
question whether it need now be mentioned in the proposed
'irooty article is one which j content to leave to the
Persian Government’s decision. Whether the treaty ie
regarded as hawing Xepsed or is expressly abrogated, I adhere
to the view ate.ted in paragraph 4 of Hr. Henderson's despatch
