cadre of the Political Department, they should
he included on the permanent strength of that
Department, if the very real difficulties expe
rienced in filling them from the small deputation
reserve available are to be avoided. One of the
results of failure to observe this principle was
that, when this particular post fell vacant a
year ago, it was found impossible to fill it from
the Political Department cadre, and a military
officer had to be appointed direct from the Indiar
Army. Resort to such expedients is unsound and
in the case of Iran in particular is open to
obvious objection.
2 . I am accordingly to request the sanction
of the Secretary of State to the permanent reten
tion of the Vice Consulate, Zahidan, with its
existing establishment and scale of expenditure
which at present amounts to about Rs.41,000 per
qnnntn and is equally divisible between His
Majesty’s Government and the Government of India,
and to the inclusion of the post of Vice Consul
in the Political Department cadre. If the pro
posal is accepted, a draft of necessary amend
ments in the Superior Civil Services Rules will
be submitted in due course.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant
Foreign Secretary to the Government of India.
