Sir
flth refereace to your telegram No.10 Saving
of Sad August and to previous correspondence regarding
the flying of flags by foreign vessels in Persian ports,
I have considei'ed the possibility of making representations
to the Persian Government on the grounds that the
Regulations of July 7th are contrary to inter national
practice.
£• It appears that the flying of their national
flags by harbour-craft based on foreign ports is not
entirely without precedent. I am informed, for example,
that, although no foreign tugs are known to be based on
United Kingdom ports at present and although with the
single exception of the "Garmsir* none of the tugs and
launches at present employed by the leading British
shipping companies in foreign ports fly the British flag,
a Butch tug was in I9kj6 employed for some time on the
Tfeames under the Dutch flag, and that up till 1934 the
depot ship maintained by Imperial Airways Limited in the
harbour of Jiirabella in Crete flew the British flag. In
neither of these cases was any protest made against the
flying of the foreign flag, although in the case of the
Dutch tug His Majesty’s Government were finally obliged,
in deference to the representations of the Thames watermen,
to get rid of it by refusing to issue the permits which
its crew were held to require under the Aliens Act.
