Polish Embassy have asked v/hether certain Polish
engineers now in Turkey could be employed in Persia .
They include ten mining engineers, one oil geologist, one
hydro-electrical engineer and one railway engineer. The
Embassy state that your Polish colleague has already
approached you about the possibility of employing these men
and have asked for our support.
2. The Embassy have also asked us to consider whether
employment could be found in Persia for a number of Polish
railway engineers, formerly employed by the Polish State
Railways, who are at present in Russia. We have replied
that the services of these experts may be very useful and
have asked the E-mbassy to prepare lists of the men concerned.
3. Railway engineers and technicians seem more likely
to be useful than mining engineers at the manent, but you
will no doubt consult with your Polish colleague as to the
best means of making use of any of these technicians who
may be suitable for work connected with the railways
or roads.
