should for political reksons spend at least 3 months each
summer at Meshed;
(8) After the war, or earlier if conditions permit, the post of
Indian Assistant and Proconsul Zabul can he abolished and a
Consular clerk stationed there;
(9) At Biro and Miss Palmer Smith of Tehran is starting a Cottage
Hospital this autumn with the help of the Shaukat ul Mulk and
the Vice Consul. If the project succeeds it will be better
from both the medical and the political point of view to
close the Consular dispensary and support the Cottage
Hospital. The Assistant Surgeon and Indian Assistant can
then be replaced by a Consular Clerk.
5. These proposals are set out in Columns V and VI of the
Proposition Statement appended to this letter. If approved in
principle their financial effect will be calculated as far as
possible and the results submitted in due course. At present we
are concerned with questions of personnel. The establishment is
to be strengthened by
(1) promoting Mr. Hart to be substantive Vice-Consul Meshed
(2) Appointing a Political officer or probationer to the new
post of Vice-Consul Zabul and Zahidan.
Prom the point of view of administrative efficiency at both
Meshed and Zahidan during the war and in the difficult post-war
period these two proposals are strongly recommended, while from that
of training young officers the locating of the Vice-Consul Birjand
at Meshed where he can study Russian and gain diplomatic experience
will be an improvement on the present arrangement.
6. A point remaining for consideration is whether the Zahidan
Consulate should continue to be in the superintending charge of the
Consul General in Khorasan, or whether it should be independent as
the Sistan and Kain Consulate was up to 1932. I have no very strong
views on this subject and am prepared to leave it to H.M’s
Ambassador and the Government of India to decide.
7. A copy of this despatch is being forwarded to H.M’s Ambassador
at Tehran under No.33.
I have, etc.
(Signed). C.P* Skrine.
His Majesty’s Consul General for Khorasan
Meshed.
