for them to agree to aaoae general settlement. Secondly, It
is pos ible that the offer of five thousand eight hundred krans,
the amount of the fine, may merely stimulate the claimant

bearing on this point. The Secretary of State proposes, in
the first place to instruct His Majesty’s Minister at Tehran
to endeavour to ascertain, if possible, in what way His
Majesty’s Consul disposed of the fine of five thousand eight
hundred krans received from Reuben Lalezar in 1919* unless,
however, it can be shown that this sum, or a part of it, was
credited to Indian revenues, it may be necessary to regard
