wau for the Vice-Consul at Barapur who will in all probability be
eventually required to safeguard our interests in theBe parts,
i understand that the appointment of Vice-Consul Bam, to which
the Persian Government gave their consent, has never been offi
cially abolished, and, as the greater includes the less, it does
not appear that the Persian Government could reasonably refuse to
agree to the appointment of a Consular Agent. If the right we
formerly enjoyed by consent of the Persian Government, is regarded
as having lapsed through disuse, and a case has to be made out
de novo, I trust that the reasons given above for proposing the
appointment are sufficiently strong to convince the Persian
Government. The appointment of a British Consular Agent at Bam
is a more natural and reasonable appointment than the appointment
of a Russian Consul to Sis tan or a Russian Consular Agent to
Birjand both of which appointments have been recognized by the
Persian Government. Even if the Russians intend to appoint a
Trade Agent in Bam without the recognition of the Persian Govern
ment, (I understand this has hEX not yet been accorded or possibly
not even asked forj the request for recognition of a British
Consular Agent at Bam would still appear to be reasonable.
8. In conclusion 1 venture to suggest that an early decision
on this question is highly desirable lest Russia forestall us in
filling the political void created by the new conditions in Balu
chistan.
in principle
Should my proposal be approved/i will, if desired,
submit a detailed estimate of the expenditure involved.
